Just because she is cute.
The blog is in transition, as you in real time can see. I've stayed up entirely too late getting frustrated with things that are over my head, and now I'm admitting temporary defeat and just going to bed.
In family news, we are all great. Really, fabulous. Well, sort of. Did you hear that we have to get rid of our cat? B underwent a battery of allergy testing which determined that he was allergic to a) mold, b) dust mites, and c) cats. Poor Franklin, our sweet kitty. But mainly poor B, who has been constantly battling sickness for the last 2 years. (It took us a while, I know. We're slow sometimes.) At least we have an answer, and, as I keep reminding myself, at least it's not worse. At least he's not allergic to gluten or pollen or, I don't know, the sun. At least it's stuff we can try to curtail.
So. We, who at one point owned three pets, are soon going to be down to 0, conceivably for the rest of our lives. I'm saddened by this, mainly because I have never not owned a cat. And my cat is so sweet. But of course, we would prefer to keep B, because he is, believe it or not, much sweeter than that cat.
Besides the sad that is losing Franklin, we are enjoying a gorgeous transition from summer to fall. We are all adjusting to The Professor's schedule at Notre Dame (I can still call him "The Professor," can't I?) and he is, for your information, loving every minute of his time there.
We are, in short, blessed beyond measure.
Now I am going to partake of the blessing that is sleep.

While I'm not a cat lover, it's sad you have to get rid of your cat. And not being a cat lover, I did think your cat was pretty cute, but B is cuter. I'll keep my ears open about anyone looking for a cat.
I'm so excited to see all the bloggy changes!
And, although I also am marginally terrified of cats, I'm sorry to hear that you had to say goodbye to a feline friend.
Love you. Think about you often. Pray for you too. You are a wonderful Mama and a lot of times when I'm feeling just way too overwhelmed to mother two, I think of you and all your twins and three children glory. You pull it off with style and a smile on your face! You're my hero!!
pulte,

It looks like Franklin may have a good home soon! I'll let the blogosphere know when it's all cemented. I know you're all on your toes. I appreciate everyone watching out for him.
Rae, thanks for your prayers. It's overwhelming some days, especially with our current situation, and I need all the help I can get! As for the blog: I have been eyeing this sort of two-column design for a while. Nie and Style Rookie both pull it off, and then you did your redesign a little while ago, and I was like, "Oh, that's so much easier to read." So I finally got around to it, and lo-and-behold!, Blogger has lots of fun new templates to play around with. Where have I been??
I assume that I am on Franklin's Adoption Approval Committee??? ;)
Filly, you've were approved years ago, but you're so danged FAR. We have a friend who lives in Ohio who would like to take him, but can't until beginning of October, when he moves out of his apartment into his (own) condo. So boo, no Franklin-and-Filly pairing, which would have been awesome. BUT. Rest assured that our friend, Brennan, is an amazing person who loves kitties and will provide a great home. Does that set your heart at ease?
Oh, wait, I am re-reading that and see "Committee." (I am not one for fast reading on 4 hours of sleep, I guess.) Would you like us to send you Brennan's references?? :)
