I thought it would be nice to add some pics of my pets, since I haven't decided if I am going to post my kids, which I probably will at some point and time.
This is Rosey. She is about 3 years old and we got her as a kitten from a friend of Boo's. She is the meanest cat you might ever meet. She looks so innocent sitting there. Which is true since no one is touching her. But wait, try and see if you will have any fingers left if you try and pet her.
This is Rosey's favorite thing to do. Lay wherever she feels like it. It doesn't matter what the surface is, it could be a hard floor, carpet, bag, shoe or one of Cor's shirts. It just doesn't matter.
This is Rosey and Georgia. Georgia is THE cat. We have had her since we moved into the house over 7 years ago. We are not sure how old she was when we got her because she came from a farm. That farm had about 20 cats and when we got her, we actually thought she was just very young cat. But she never grew. We think that the overpopulation of the cats at the farm caused the mothers to give birth too often, resulting in smaller babies. We love to have Georgia lay with us except when she sneezes, which is often. Unfortunately, when she sneezes, her whole body shakes and she has been known to slide across the laminate floor if she happens to be sitting there when she has one of her fits.
Have you ever seen a more comfortable cat? Neither Cor nor I can lay on the couch without having her for company. If we are each on a couch, she will jump between us because she can't decide who has a better lap to lay in.
As you can tell, we are a family of cat people. We did have a dog but we were unable to keep him due to the fact that we both work and it was very hard on him.
So we will remain a cat house. Shorty has always wanted a turtle or a hamster but I have tried to explain to him what would happen if we had those kind of pets if they came into our house. That they would end up like the salamander we tried to have last year.
Shorty found a salamander last year at the farm. He brought it home and we put it in a platic cage that was meant to hold bugs. It was quite a strudy cage though. Well, we left that poor salamander alone over night in the living room and when we got up,the cage was knocked off the table and there was nothing left. Both cats looked very innocent and to this day Shorty refuses to believe that the cats would have had a midnight snack.
So these are our two pets. Stay tuned for the next installment of our two legged pets, aka our children :)

This is my beebalm. One of the few perennials I bought last year that actually made it to this year. Beside it that you can hardly see is a weed perennial that I had gotten from a friend. As of yesterday, it is no longer there.
This is my small flower bed. The only perennial is the rosebush and it is a funky rosebush. There is one stem that likes to grow to four feet tall while the rest of it stays small like a bush. This flower bed is next to the deck and we are thinking that maybe by the end of this summer, we will be able to afford to put a pond in.
This is one of the three of my lilies. I am exited already about the fall because my mom has decided she doesn't want to keep any of her lilies and she is giving them all to me.
This is a broader view of the back flower bed, although not all of it, just the centre section. Like I said, as of yesterday, the flowering yellow plant is gone as well as the flowering white plants. My flowerbed looks so empty now.
This is a daylily that I got for Mother's Day. I am quite proud of the fact that it bloomed this year.
These are my morning glories that came back from last year. I didn't know that they were going to come back so I ended up planting others as well. I was able to transplant some to another area and they are coming there quite well too, although they look a little skimpy.
These are of the deck from the backyard. Corey built the trellis last year from scratch. We planted four clematis last year and only two survived. We didn't know that this kind of plant grew from last years stalks and were very lucky that we ran out of time and never got to cut them back. We also never expected it to get so out of control like it did. We are thinking that we will have to cut it back in the fall to start fresh next year.
These are my nasturtiums that I planted from seed. My friends said I planted them too late in the season and look what happened. I ended up with mutant plants
These are my morning glories. I put about five plants there and they covered up the gas meter perfectly by the end of the season. I loved them.
This a view of the deck from the backyard. 
These are the morning glories I planted. Before there had been a wild rose bush that we cut out, you can see if coming back. Also there are my sundrops which never came back this year.
