Chip & Trooper
The kittens have names. We loved everyone's suggestions (thank you!), but eventually decided to go with names that meant something about them.
Chip & Trooper (Doesn't Trooper look bored?)
So why Chip & Trooper? Well Chip because they were found at Sun Microsystems. And Trooper because he was really sick for the first couple weeks and everyone kept saying what a Trooper he was.
Trooper is finally feeling better (and Ian and I aren't getting sneezed on every time we go near him). They spend most of their day sleeping.
So Tired. I even sleep sitting up.
And like to play with their toys, wrestle with each other and basically and wreak havoc during the night. I swear if my leg gets attacked when I roll over in bed one more time...I might get a cramp from squeezing the lever on the squirt bottle.
Chip has the fastest paw in town...and Trooper likes to start fights

Happy Birthday Ian!
Today is your special day. Live it up!
(Edited to say: I had a list of 10 things that I think make Ian a special person up here. But it embarrassed Ian and made him uncomfortable. So I took it off. Sorry you missed it!)
I love you Ian. Happy Birthday!

Kitten 01 & Kitten 02
We went to the Humane Society on Thursday and got two adorable kittens. They're brothers and they are about 3-4 months old. They were found in the parking lot of Sun Microsystems.
Kitten 01 & Kitten 02
The staff at the Humane Society gave us some information on how to care for them and it says we should keep them in a small room for the first few weeks, with supervised side trips out to the rest of the house a couple of times a day. That way we can teach them good behavior and discourage them from bad behavior.
We've decided the downstairs bathroom will be their home for the next couple of weeks because it's rarely used and the floor needs to be replaced eventually anyways.
Play Time! Kitty 01 Goes first...then Kitty 02 joins in.
Here's a little about each one:
Kitten 01
Playful and active. Doesn't seem to be afraid of much. Has a great time with toys that require him to jump about. Not as agile and stealthy as Kitten 02. Loves to be pet and wants attention.
Kitten 02
A little more cautious then Kitten 01 and seems to nap a bit more. Also loves to be pet and curls up in your lap and just puurrrrrss. Will play with a toy if Kitten 01 is playing with it. Was the first one to learn how to climb from the box to the toilet to the sink counter.
Kitty 02 on Toilet...On counter!
We've had fun playing with them, petting them and introducing ourselves and our home to them. Now we just need to give them names. We'd love any suggestions (post in comments by clicking on link below). Thanks!
It's Nap Time!
