Sad Day!

Before Kylie, Ally and the kids, we found Kopa. I was house and dog sitting and we took the dog on a walk to Kopachuck state park. We heard the loud obnoxious meowing from the bushes and when we looked it a skinny little kitty about 5 months old can out to greet us. She obviously did not have a home but after taking her home we watched for signs and news that someone was looking for a lost kitty. She became our first child and even though she did things that tried our patience we loved her. Scott and Kopa had a very special relationship and she loved him very much. Most people never got to see her and we knew she was getting sick when she let the kids actually pet her without freaking out.

This is a picture of Kopa and Kylie about 2 hours before she finally went to kitty heaven. Kylie knew something wasn't quite right and went to lay with her pal. It was quite sweet. Kopa couldn't move very well but Kylie's paw in her face didn't last long.

This was about a week before she passed. She was snuggling with Scott and allowed the kids to come over and pet her. I think they were able to pet her more in the 2 1/2 weeks before she died then they were during the time they knew her. We have her buried in our back yard so we can visit her when we want to!

Too Funny!

This is one for the girlfriend!!! This was how we found him after riding his scooter!

Basketball

Emma's first run at basketball has been a great learning experience. As you can see from the picture, Scott is the coach but not by choice as there wasn't anyone stepping up to coach the team. We are a pretty scrappy team and the kids have a lot of fun playing, which is obvious as most of them smile the entire game. We have lost one game so far but have played all really well! Emma is doing great and seems to be having fun (although I don't think it's her passion =))
