Meet Marina

Hello everyone. Today I am introducing Marina, who will make occasional contributions to this blog. In our other story, she is from Germany, and is a great pianist.

Wait, Cassia. May I see this hat for a moment?

cassia_040

Ok, that is better. I am a hat person, but left all my hats at home. Now I can blog.

cassia_041

Really, Marina? I didn't know you like hats.

Of course I do. They work great with my long curly hair.

Anyway, I am Marina, as Cassia previously mentioned. I was adopted by our "mom" in September 2012. It's been pretty cool to live further down the Great Lakes and live closer to Niagara Falls.

Mom hopes to take me to historically relevant places this year. We live near a lot, given the region's place in history, so it should be a lot of fun.

Oh, is this Ash? How are you, Ash?

Mrwaaar.

cassia_045

Hey! Aww, I guess Ash does not like me?

No, I think he is being shy, maybe. Or he is mad that you are wearing my hat. Anyway, Marina will also be posting on the next entry to talk more about herself. Thanks for reading!

Meet Crystal!

As promised, today I am introducing Crystal, our new cat, to you.

Crystal is part Persian. We adopted her from the SPCA after we noticed Ash was being more clingy to us than usual when we got home from school. I think he was lonely, so I suggested to Mom that we get another cat to be his companion. She thought it was a fine idea.

Thank goodness Crystal will not be an outdoor cat - I can't even imagine how dirty her white fur would get! She is such a sweet cat. She was found wandering the streets by the person who brought her to the SPCA. They had taken care of her for a bit, but could not keep her permanently. Crystal is a bit of an older cat (6 years old), and she loves to be a lap kitty.

Oh, Ash!

cassia_037

You want to be here too? Oh, right...Ash wanted me to mention that even though Crystal is older, she still loves to chase Ash around, and the two of them have a lot of fun playtime together.

Ash is so happy to have a friend around.

Thanks for reading. Next entry I will introduce Marina, who will be a contributing author to this blog.

I am back!

So I apologize for not posting for a long time. My mom has been super busy with school, and since she always reviews my posts and gives me permission, I have not been able to post.

This winter has been super hard. We are by the Great Lakes, so we were hit super hard my snow. Many days, the snowfall was taller than me. So I stayed in most days to avoid getting lost in the snow.

To help celebrate my return to blogging, my mom bought me a new outfit.

I feel super grown up in this picture. I think it is the ruffles?

And a closeup of that hat

On another note, we adopted a new cat! Now Ash had a friend to play with when mom is at work and I am at school. We think he was lonely during those hours. We named her Crystal. I will introduce her in my next post.

Outfit: Dress and hat from Clarisse's Closet, boots from American Girl
