Imogen and I just spent a lovely weekend with the girls for our third annual summer getaway. Instead of the coast, this year we headed to Sandy, Oregon and stayed at a wonderful vacation home, the Riverwoods Lodge. It's a gorgeous log home nestled in the woods on the Sandy River, complete with hot tub, sauna, and all the amenities.
It was a fabulous, relaxing weekend. We even watched Fried Green Tomatoes in honor of Idgie (who was named for the main character). On Saturday we walked down to the river.
The riverbank was a good place for yoga...
...and meditation...
...and a snack.
Imogen loved sitting in the sand and examining leaves and sticks while the water rushed past.
When we got home, it didn't take but three seconds to talk Thomas into adopting two of the stray kittens that our friend Allegra found a couple of weeks ago abandoned in an alley. Here are the newest girls in our family.
Imogen may not like to play in her playpen anymore, but the kittens sure do.
The kitten sisters are still unnamed today, after much discussion last night. Here's your chance to name them! We're taking suggestions. Currently in the running are Billie and Ella (all cats love jazz) and Kodak and Fuji (on the black-and-white theme). Or maybe something from Greek mythology? Or Shakespeare? Or children's literature? Help us out! Name announcement and more pictures to follow soon!

That lodge looks awesome. I'm adding it to our vacation list.
As for naming the stray cats:
Brian & Setzer
It's all I got. Good luck.
oh the girls! the girls! so cute!!! It's official, Benjamin and I adopted their brother. So we are now related thru our cats, heehee! His name is Cleopatrick on account of his dramatic eyeliner, and originally thinking he was a girl. oops....Cleo for short. He's a dashing and very purry fellow.
Hmm, what about calling the little one Dolce and the bigger one Viva? Get it? Dolce Viva...hahaha. Enjoy discovering names for the cuties! :-)
