A horrible thing has happened. My beloved cat was hit by a car last night and was killed. I unfortunately saw it right after it happened. I completely lost it. I wanted to run out there and scoop him up but Jer wouldn't let me. He just told me to go back inside and he would take care of it. We buried him in our back yard, Tyler wrote his name with sticks and pine cones. I don't think it has really sunk in with the kids yet. It gives me some comfort to know that he felt no pain. He died instantly. The woman who hit him pulled over and was crying. She felt horrible and apologized. That meant so much to me.
I have never been so attached to an animal. I mean, I had cats and dogs growing up but none of them were MINE. Otis was my cat. He picked me! Once I finally talked Jer into getting a cat we went to Pet Smart "just to look". There was Otis with 4 or 5 of his brothers and sisters. I picked up a few before him but it just didn't feel right, then I picked Otis up. He instantly climbed up on my shoulder and just sat there. Like it was meant to be. I had to have him. He came home with us the next day. From then on we were inseparable. He followed me everywhere and snuggled with me every night. He knew when I was upset and would curl up in front of me and just purr away. He was only with us for a little while but I will never forget him. RIP little man.

Tyler's last day of baseball
Tyler finished out the baseball season with a few good plays and a base hit. He's still not sure if he wants to do it next year, but he said he would think about it. After the game the team had a BBQ and handed out plaques to the kids. Tyler wants us to hang it in the living room so everyone can see it.

Samantha's Preschool Graduation
Samantha graduated from being in the preschool class to being a full time Tiger at Montessori. They had a little ceremony on Friday, they put on a little skit with a surfing theme. It was adorable. She is so excited for Kindergarten. My baby is growing up!
