Kittens and Cocoa

Kittens and cocoa, they have almost nothing in common.

But I wanted to do a post on my wonderful, steaming, delightful, hot cup of cocoa and our new kittens.

It is finally cocoa weather!

I was ready for a nice hot cup of cocoa after I spent an hour snuggled up in a nice blanket reading Johnny Tremain, and now my mouth is filled with pure deliciousness. Ah fall is here!

Now for the moment I've been waiting for:

Calvin and Millie!

We got two kittens last Wednesday. One is a girl ( the calico in the picture ) and one is a boy.

( the white with orange spots on my lap )

We simply ADORE them! The morning after we got them Millie was chasing one of my little sisters Georgia. And of course Georgia was yelling " DON'T EAT ME! DON'T EAT ME!" over and over.

So now my family is blessed with two little kittens scampering about our home which is truly a miracle!

Here's the story:

If you know my dad at all you know he is NOT a cat person. I has detested them ALL his life! Well, a few weeks ago our neighbors' cat had three adorable little black kittens.

So I asked my dad if we could get at least one of them, and my dad (supposedly being anything but a cat person) said no, of course. But he did ask some questions about them. Then I started praying that if it was God's will we would be able to get kittens. And about one week later a good friend asked my dad if he wanted her to bring kittens when she came to visit. AND HE SAID SURE! I nearly fainted. Okay not really but I was soooooo exited! Are kittens are a gift straight from the Lord! Only He could have done this!
