Kittens and things

A. stopped by with the kittens today. Since she was already out this way so they could have their first vet visit, she brought them over so everyone could meet them. They are pretty darn cute. 

The photo is G. holding Apollo so he could meet Juniper, held by Y. I got the picture seconds before Apollo hissed and tried to bat the kitten. Actually none of our adult cats were fans of the kittens. Grumpy old things. 

Afterwards, J. and I went and ran some errands together and then had lunch. All by ourselves. Without any children. We have not had a meal out just the two of us since November. It actually might be even longer than that because I can't actually remember when we had a meal out and alone. It was very nice. We'll have to do it again sometime.

R.'s new medicine protocol seems to be working, even at night. Sometimes we will hear something, but like all parents lie in bed and wait to hear if the sound was a one-time thing or if it will keep going. More often then not these days it is a one-time thing. R. has also lost the drunken sailor imitation with the weaning we are doing of one of the meds. I will have entire days now where I am not actively thinking about how to help R. or actually in the middle of helping R. It is a relief. (Don't take this to mean I'm ignoring her all day, I'm not. It's just a much more normal relationship.)

All in all, it's been a very pleasant Saturday. Even if my knitting class was cancelled.
