Jude & Abbey Thompson
When I picked Jackson up from preschool today, here is how our conversation went: "Mommy, when you get home Daddy has a surprise for you! I can't tell you what it is. But here's a hint: It has four legs. And it starts with the sound "k." And it's kind of like a dog. Mommy, do you want a dog? How about 2 kittens? But I can't tell you." Don't you just love it?!!

When I got home I got an early birthday present--2 new kittens! They are "bruders" and are 4 months old! Their birthday is June 21st. Jack had named them "red" and "blue" but we worked on new names :) The kitten with the blue collar is named Jude. One of my top 5 favorite moments in life (beyond my engagement, wedding & births of my boys) was standing in the rain at 1am, singing at the top of my lungs "Hey Jude" as Paul McCartney played! It was a truly awesome experience. And to keep with the Beatles theme, we named the kitten with the red collar Abbey, for Abbey Road, a great Beatles album. I'm still working on middle names, which will most likely be USC related :)
They chase each other all over the place! It's really sweet...
This is Abbey...He is a little bigger & friendlier...

This is Jude!! He's a little more shy... Jude with the computer....

Jude put himself in time out already :)

The sleepy boys were hiding underneath Colby's bed taking a little nap :)
