Kitty Love

Luke had to do some work with a horse at HeartsHerd Animal Sanctuary today, run by our wonderful friends Renee and Tracy. When I asked Clara last night if she wanted to go to Tracy's house today with Daddy she stopped eating her dinner, put down her fork and said, "We can go right now!!" Clara loves Tracy and Renee's! And why not?! They have chickens, ducks, guinea hens, horses, goats, a sheep (named Eunice), a bunny rabbit and, of course, dogs and cats. Not only did Tracy have some new bottle-fed orphan kitties (tiny but so friendly and cuddly!), she also had four older kittens that are all "tuxedo kitties" - black with white paws and white necks. So cute! The kitties got lots of loving and desensitizing today on our visit.


Then tonight, we went to CBC's annual Christmas play. Clara loved seeing her friends from Bible study in costume and was fascinated the whole time! She loved the songs and every time the lights went down she asked, "What they doin' Mommy??" When the kids all assembled for the nativity at the end and the lights came up Clara caught her breath and whispered to me in an awed voice, "Mama! It's baby Jesus!" She was absolutely enthralled.
