Meet Emma

Emma the kitten is a wonderful addition to the family.  Erin received Emma as a birthday present.  She found it waiting for her bright and early the morning of her birthday.  She is both playful and snuggly.  And definitely loved.

Erin and Emma spend a lot of time playing and snuggling together.  Sometimes the kids forget that she's a kitten and treat her more like a rag doll, but overall she is treated very well.  She sleeps in Erin's room and it's working out great.  Emma curls up around Erin's head or face and sleeps with her every night.  For a while she was waking Erin very early in the morning, but that seems to be getting better.  And we've talked with Erin about just opening the door for Emma if Emma is really bothering her.

Emma and Drake are working on their relationship.  Emma loves to play and keeps trying to get Drake to play with her.  Not really his thing.  For the first week or so, any time Emma and her little bell arrived on the scene, Drake would run to another floor.  Then he graduated to just moving to another room.  Now the two of them can sometimes inhabit the same room.  Emma is still more playful than Drake would prefer.  So generally he ends up rather cornered and growling at her.  There have been a few rare moments where they have sat in a window together and looked out at the world.

So here are some wonderful pictures of Emma and all the love she receives.
