For the past two or three months, a sweet little black and white cat has been visiting us and delighting Leo. The cat would appear in the backyard and Leo would start screaming "ditty! peas, ditty! peas" and running from window to window to catch the cat's every move. At 18 months old, Leo can't really talk yet, but he knows the word please and he uses whenever he asks for anything, so "ditty! peas" translates to "look everybody, there is a cat in the yard, can we please go out and take a closer look?"

Last week we learned that cat was a stray, apparently left behind by an old widower who moved away and into an "assisted living" facility, and so we decided to adopt her. We had her checked out and washed up by the vet and welcomed her into our house. She is black and white like the moon, Leo loves the moon, and Leo loves kitties; so by Andi's feminine logic our new family member is now known as Luna.

Kids bring all sorts of wonderful emotions, joy, and laughter into your life. Like Matt, I never smiled so much and felt so much joy as I do with my three boys. But, before the kids I never got angry and I never yelled at anybody. Just something to keep in mind, Chris. Kids will get you in touch with your emotions and I mean all of your emotions.
