Face-painting at the Children's Museum

Helen as a butterfly, Nate as a saber-toothed spiderman and Michaela as... as... um... an expressionist painting? Anyway, fun was had by all!

Nosy - The World's Greatest Cat (1993-2011)

Our Wonderful Nosy went to sleep peacefully at the vet's yesterday. She was almost 19 and had spent her entire live making her family feel loved. There's really no other way to describe her. She was never not purring, she was always up for a cuddle - in fact, she was happy to demand them on a regular basis. She didn't pick favourites, although she did seem to have a particular fondness for my Dad, and anyone else with cat allergies. ;)

Nosy was the cat who made me like cats. There was no other quite like her. She was beautiful, sweet and had the personality of a dog. She will never, ever be forgotten.
