We'll miss you, Babouchka


We said goodbye to our cat, Babouchka, yesterday. After doing multiple tests and trying a few meds, she did not improve (probably cancer). It was her time to pass on and get some rest. She was not a lovey-duvey cat and didn't do any tricks, but she was a sweet fixture in our home. She occasionally would dive into the floor and roll over for a nice rub-down. Esther loved searching for her around the house and petting her "soft". She was so sweet to her while she was sick the last few weeks. She would check on her and lay with her. We will miss you, Babouchka, but are glad you are at peace now.

So not to leave on a sad note, a bit about Esther's new favorite outfit. It is her bathing suit cover-up. There have been many days where she will not leave the house without it. The hat is a nice added touch.
Here is Esther reading to her babies. She did this all on her own. We haven't pushed babies (all were gifts) on her or any real gender roles. It is interesting to see nature (vs. nurture) taking place. I love that she is starting play and use her imagination. So sweet!
