We will miss you Max...

We had to put the famliy cat, Max, down. He was Mom's cat....though we all thought of him as the family cat, even though we have moved out and into our own homes. He was 16 years old, and developed kidney failure, amongst other conditions. He had a good life....was the king hunter in Atkinson, bringing home lots of prizes for us, lol....even bringing live mice and snakes into the house. The past few months, he had become skin and bones...unable to eat, and not getting around too well.

Here he is in prime condition a couple of years ago...

Mom with Max about a month ago....

On Thanksgiving we said our goodbyes, as his health was deteriorating...

He looked rough...you could tell he was not doing well...
Rest in peace, Maxie....I hope you are now pain free...

We will miss you sweet Max...

Sweet Hailey Paige!

Little Miss Hailey!

Little Miss Hailey.....she doesn't tolerate my camera for very long, so we've got to get what we can...QUICKLY!! Got some smiley girl photo's, before she was DONE with me!

Have a wonderful Christmas, Miss Hailey...see you soon!

My Christmas cup o' tea!

I got this Christmas teacup, and had to get pictures of Miss Olivia in it right away! She had so much posing for me!!

She fell in, and thought that was sooo funny...

Miss Lily turned 5 over the weekend, and we went to celebrate!

The kids all dove for the candy...

Lily shows me her goods...

Making her wish...

Happy Birthday Lily!

My little trick or treaters!

My Pikachu girl, Lexi...

...and my lil' stinker!

Olivia was VERY into it this year! She would waddle up the driveways, going to the door, saying 'treat'!

Poor Lexi, with a fever, passed out on the sofa when we got home, without eating ANY candy!Hopefully next year Lexi will be HEALTHY and NOT sick!

Happy Halloween!
