Love, Tea and Cats

Last night, prompted my my encouragement, Holly told me she loved me "uv moma".... it was the most precious thing ever spoken.... my heart melted!!!

Below are pictures of Cleocatra kneeding on Holly and Holly actually NOT attacking her and trying to kiss her..... a first. Holly does love her kitties.

Today I had Tea at the Adolphus with my Mom, Sister, and Peggy Pate. Mom took me to celebrate my birthday. It was a lovely experience. Holly wasn't allowed, too young. Daddy took care of her at home. David read to Holly from TS Elliots book of practical cats, which is what the musical "CATS" is based on.... particularly they read about Rum-Tum Tugger.... my favorite cat from CATS.

Our visit to the Arboretum

Over the weekend Holly, Marmee and Mommy took a trip to the Dallas Arboretum. It was a lot of fun and a perfect day -- cloud covered but still warm.



Here's Holly at the entrance in front of some very lovely daffodils.





Holly was fascinated with the misters that kept the plants moist.

The tulips in this picture were Holly's favorites.

Holly liked to sniff the purple hyacinths.

Her favorite part of the day was running around in circles in the beautiful grass!

Pictures of Emily

Happy Valentine's Day!!! XOXO

You can see pictures of Emily (Katie's new baby sister). Look on the left undery my blog list, you'll find "Katie, Emily, Heather and Karl - The Keatings".... click on that, then you'll see a pictre of Emily to click on that takes you to more pictures. I went to see her at the hospital yesterday. Heather and Emily are both doing amazingly well.

Holly's eye is irritatied - it's been this way for a couple of days. Her Daddy is going to take her to see doctor Hull today.

We haven't been doing much, except get ready for the floors on Monday. Thursday afternoon Marmee came to watch Holly while I worked. Yesterday, Grangie (Dawn) came to watch Holly. Holly was lovin' it!! They had loads of fun!
