Anguilla 2007 (and St. Martin too)

July 23 - August 1, 2007. We've found a new favorite in the Caribbean! The island of Anguilla, British West Indies. We also went to French St. Martin and enjoyed it too - but not near as much as Anguilla.

Introducing... Buck!

On June 16th, 2007, we took ONE cat to the vet for a regular check up - but we came home with TWO! Our home hasn't been the same since... Buck is "bumble-ee" and not very coordinated: he falls off things and slides in the kitchen with his furry paws. But he's as cute as they come - and we're glad he's joined the family. If only he would eat his food slowly, and not vacuum it up so fast!
(No, it's not bath time... this was Buck's bed the first few nights.)
