Mr. Kitty featuring as Wiener Cat

I just found this photo from about a week ago in my phone. I'd you've ever met Mr. Kitty, you'd know how this might be funny: he's quite a big fatty. I love how the perspective of this photo makes him look long and slim!

[go to the bottom of this post to get the full book! ] We call them The Silkies. The Tener Silkies, that is, because they are definitely part of the family. They are an ancient breed of chickens  of Asian descent, first introduced in Europe  by the Dutch as: the wondrous cross-breed between a rabbit and a chicken! It turns out that this is quite a believable description because they are absolutely fuzzy and soft, quite like a bunny. Note: The original version of this post had the phrasing "bunny rabbit" but Mara pointed out that "rabbit" is redundant because all bunnies are rabbits.

Gaius David Tener was born on May 16 2015 at 10:07am, measuring 8lbs 2oz and 20in. Mara and Daddy were alongside Mommy the entire time, helping out.

Here's a short timeline: T-18h:  The pool is finally ready to use, so Elena gets enthusiastic and swims happily for 40 minutes. She is done with the "must-happen" chores before baby #2, and the next two weeks are planned for mommy relaxation time. T-11h (near midnight): Grandma Buny from Romania texts that she dreamed baby was coming. T-8h (1:48am):  The water breaks, but no contractions, everything is calm and peaceful. Elena calls the midwife, Maria , who says to relax and try to rest, labor should start within 6-8 hours; she texts our doula Tara  to let her know. She gently wakes Greg up to tell him the news; he groggily smiles and tries to go back to sleep. Two minutes...
