The Cat Will is hoping to keep

So I got home from work several days ago and this stray kitty came out of nowhere. I called Will out to see it and of course he fed it, upset that someone had probably abandoned it. It is very skinny! So since it found a food source it has stayed finding shelter outside (I'm allergic and it's not coming in the house). Will loves having a "pet" cat again and pets it daily, Ben was excited at first but it doesn't really play with him so he's moved on.





So after buying cat food today I went to pick Ben up from daycare and noticed he had a Band-Aid on his leg. He said the cat bit him, Will didn't see it happen, so I posted a "Found Cat" notice on Craig's List tonight. Maybe some family is missing their pet, but I know Will is hoping to keep it. If it scratches or bites Ben again I'm calling Animal Control and that is that.



We haven't come up with a name yet. Any suggestions?

Wow this thing figured out what my Superpower is.


Your superpower should be Mindreading.

You are brilliant, insightful, and intuitive.

You understand people better than they would like to be understood.

Highly sensitive, you are good at putting together seemingly irrelevant details.

You figure out what's going on before anyone knows that anything is going on!


Why you would be a good superhero: You don't care what people think, and you'd do whatever needed to be done


Your biggest problem as a superhero: Feeling even more isolated than you do now

The Lion sleeps tonight



Steph has been begging me to throw this onto our sight for a while now. Benjamin Loves it and often asks us to play it for him. Hope every one enjoys.

Return of the Bard

Most of you have known Will since he was a teenager, but for those who don't he is a music lover and poet. It was one of the things that really made me fall in love with him. When we were dating some people teased us and asked when we were going to start singing mushy love duets together since I was also a music major. We have only just now begun playing piano/guitar together after Ben goes to bed. Anyway, Will has written several songs and pieces through the years, but ever since we got married and he started working full-time he has put all of that on the back burner. Well his computer recently started acting up and he can no longer play his beloved PC games. It works just fine for email, pictures, etc so we have no plans for replacing it anytime soon. So in his downtime he has started picking up the guitar I bought him in college and he has gotten pretty good at it! Well he surprised me the other night with an early Mother's Day gift. He finally finished writing the lyrics to a piano song he has always played as long as I've known him. He's still tweaking the 3rd verse, but other than that here is the first song ever written and dedicated to me :)

"Deep As the Sea"
Do you remember the night we met
In a world of untold glory
Though we could not be together yet
We began a new love story
Now we parted for our own ways
Our roads did not start together
I hoped that one day we would say
We are meant to be Forever

Chorus
Oh my love do you know?
That forever our love will grow
Please remain, by my side,
My love for you, I'll never hide.
Oh my love, each new day
I devote to you in every way
Earn the love you give me
Our love, Deep as the Sea

Though I sit here all alone
I feel your heart near me
A face from my dreams
That sets my soul free
I take comfort in my faith
That God will bring us together
We will sit by the lover's moon
I will hold your hand forever

Chorus

One day I met a surprise
When I looked and saw your blue eyes
*Still tweaking :)*

I will love you for all of time
Once the moon stops it's changing
I'll hold you in my arms at night
When you will hear my heart singing

Chorus
Oh my love do you know?
That forever our love will grow
Please remain, by my side,
My love for you, I'll never hide.
Oh my love, each new day
I devote to you in every way
Earn the love you give me
Our love, deep as the sea.

All Dressed Up...

We got all dressed up for church last week and took some photos since we were out of town for Easter Sunday. Our ward meets at 1 pm, but imagine our surprise when we pulled into an empty parking lot. I have to work most Sundays and Will had been sick the past 2 weeks and we didn't get the memo on Stake Conference! Poor Ben was really looking forward to playing with his special church toys. He asked us "Church is closed?" So we took him to a new park and enjoyed the beautiful day together.
Ben looks a lot like my younger brother Sean Christopher who is currently serving a mission in the Mesa, Arizona mission. He is in Winslow, AZ right (Song cue for "Take It Easy" by the Eagles)
