Lilly

Hello Everyone,

I hope you have all had a fantastic week.

Neil and I have had a fantastic week.
Neil is happy because he got his new toy, an Apple iPad which is very cool indeed and I am happy because we eventually got our kitten.
After much thought I have decided to call her Lilly. Josie (AJ's little sister) came up with the name on Friday night.
She was incredibly scared when we collected her on Saturday evening. She actually got really agressive with us and I was petrified of her. We got her home and left her to find her way around. Neil and I went out for a couple of drinks then came back to find her hiding under the sofa. I pulled her out and she was a lot more relaxed but still skitish. She still hisses every now and then but she owns the house now.
She went a bit mad this morning. She was running around the lounge, jumping from table to sofa. She tried to eat some of our fake flowers by standing on top of the vase. She tried climbing up my leg while I was wearing shorts. I found her hanging on the curtains and she has ripped the swinging mouse off her scratch post. I have also realised that she absolutely LOVES any kind of wire so I have to constantly keep an eye on her. This all happened this morning. I can not believe she is the same kitten. As I write this she is sleeping on the dining room table (strange, I know) so I am being very careful not to wake her up :-)

We had both the kids on Friday night which was really nice. They are growing up so much its scary. They aren't the babies I knew a year ago. AJ held the gate open for me the other day which was so sweet! He is becoming a real little gentleman, just like his daddy. I am slowly but surely getting used to having the kids around again. I remember when I got back, we had both of the kids for the night and I was totally finished at about 10pm! I could have fallen asleep standing up. They are both doing vey well and are looking forward to their mom having another baby in December. They are also very excited that the baby is a little girl.

All my documents have arrived from SA so I will be asking the Spanish officials for some help this evening. All I need is one document and it is up to them to give it to me. So please everyone, hold thumbs for me. If they do agree to help me, I will be apply for my residency this week :-)

I have finally figured out how to get take pics and get them onto my laptop! So I will have to take some new photos of our new apartment and post them on here. I will do it ASAP.

Anyway, I had better get going now. I will do a new post next week.

Sending you all loads of love

Sam
