And Then There Were Three

Onion Ring has officially flown the coop, as of this past fall.  It has been very different to have just three boys at home!


Shortly after he left, Buttermilk Sky saw something funny online and called out, "ONION RING!!!" before remembering that Onion Ring was gone.  At first we laughed and then we all went to our rooms and cried in our pillows.


But there has also been some rejoicing.  Buttermilk Sky now has his own room and he has the jeep all to himself, and Eggs on Toast and Junior haven't been tackled in their bed for a long time.  Strangely, there has been a lot less screaming, and arguing.  I'm pretty sure there is some rejoicing on Onion Ring's side, as well, especially when he hears about all the work his brothers are having to do (...basement remodel...).




For the next two years (well, now actually one year, seven months, and two days, but who's counting?), Onion Ring will reside in either western Ohio, eastern Indiana, or northeastern Kentucky.  He is currently in northeastern Indiana, working hard to serve and teach others about Christ.  So far, he is loving it!

Poor Kitties

Last year, Junior got these two kittens for his birthday.  He was so excited!  They were brother and sister (although at first we thought they were sisters).  The brown one Junior named Artemis, and the orange, Eowyn (later Eomer, when we learned the truth).




Little did we know that poor little Eowyn Eomer was sick.










 Poor little kitty. We had to say goodbye.



The very same day that we said goodbye to Eomer we brought home a new kitty, Agnes.



Oops, I mean this new kitty, Athena.










They got so big.  We thought Athena was pregnant at Christmas-time, but later realized she was just fat.




Sadly, Artemis didn't come home one day a couple of weeks ago.  We hope we find her!
