"Element"

Well, it has finally happened....Chris went to the grocery store and there was a box of kittens. He immediately called me and said "There is a box of kittens here at Country Mart, what should we do?" My sweet reply was "I don't know, what do you want to do?"

Let me go back. Megan has been begging us for a kitten. So much so that it had begun to get silly. Chris is highly allergic to cats, but I assured him if we ever picked out a cat it would be an outdoor cat. So...going back to the grocery store.

"There are two kittens in the box" Chris says.

"Okay." I said.

He hangs up.

He calls me 20 minutes later saying. "Okay, I got one. We are in the car port, have the kids meet me in the garage."

I grabbed the kids and brought them to the garage. I told them Daddy had a surprise and they had to wait. My kids are so cute, they stand still and hold each others hand in anticipation. Daddy brings the kitty inside and Megan almost swoons she is so excited.

Chris tells them we need to think of a name. Before he can get any farther with that line of thinking Megan pipes up and says "Element" the kitty is Element. She wasn't hearing any other name options I felt like I was in the movie the Ten Commandments with Charleton Heston. When Yul Brenner says "So let it be written, so let it be done."

So, now we have a 6 week old kitten named Element.

Megan took this picture while Element aka "Ellie" was sitting on her lap.

Here she is in her box in the garage. Megan doesn't know why Ellie can't just sleep with her.

Patrick is pretty excited. He goes into the garage and talks to Ellie during the day.

Another picture of Ellie on Megan's lap.

All Photos were taken by Megan Gaines age 6. She is turning into quite the photographer.
