BELATED BIRTHDAYS part 2: Andrew turned 36 in March! And life was life-ing, so I missed the opportunity to talk the guy up on the day. So here it is: I love Andrew a whole lot. We’ve been together for almost 13 years and married for almost 4 of those years and I just feel so lucky! Andrew is thoughtful, funny, smart, and the list goes on. Let’s all travel back in time and wish him a happy birthday!
BELATED BIRTHDAYS pt. 1: George turned 13 (!) while we were in Japan. He’s cute as ever, I’d say! He has an infected chin right now (because apparently cats get acne at 13, too?) and is in some pain, and I can’t help but think what an honor it is that we get to be the people who put ointment on this crazy, lovable dude’s face. Love ya, George. Please stop scratching your chin.
Rogi is 15!!! I love her so much! She hasn’t changed a bit since Andrew adopted her when she was 5. She makes the cutest little chirpy meows. She’s obsessed with drinking water from the sink. She loves window sills and backpacks and getting zooted on catnip. She’s smart and perfect.
