2 Very Special New Additions

So, the Dill's have once again added to the craziness with the addition of a duo of kittens. As some of you know, Paxton was a very beloved member of our family. He has always been quite a biter - especially with me and the girls, but recently he started crossing the line. Very long story short, Taylor was brushing him and he attacked her face. After a trip to the pediatrician, a lot of tears, calls to the vet, and more tears, we decided Paxton was not the kind of cat that should be around young kids. It was traumatic for all of us, but especially the kids. We love animals so much and would never dismiss a pet if it wasn't 100% necessary. Pax will always have a special place in our hearts. As if that wasn't hard enough, we also found out at a routine 9 week ultrasound that our little baby had not grown past 5 weeks. We were in complete shock. I knew these things happened but I really wasn't expecting it to happen to our family. Again, VERY VERY long story short, we waited a week to do another ultrasound just to be sure there was no sign of advancement and when I should have been 10 weeks our little angel was still showing 5 weeks. I was given medicine to help my body recognize the baby wasn't living any longer. We will always remember this baby and be sad that we were never able to meet him or her. We also believe in a God that has plan for our family and trust that He knows best and His will is always done. We are moving forward, not on, just forward. I'm lucky to have the most supportive, wonderful, loving husband. Todd knew my heart was broken and thought that maybe these 2 kitties would bring some sunshine into a rather gloomy house. Taylor and Kamrynn are absolutely in love with Sugar (white kitty) and Bentley (b&w). They are so sweet, spunky, and silly. We're loving their company and constant snuggles. We are also very lucky that they both LOVE the dogs - YAY! The last few months have taught me a lot and I feel like I've really grown as a person. I appreciate so much the 2 healthy, beautiful girls that God blessed us with. Thanks for all the love, prayers and support. XOXO


Bentley is our adventurous boy - spunky and silly!

Bentley is also SUCH a snuggle bug!! He'll curl up with anyone or anything! He loves the pups!

The kitties are not siblings but "colony mates" from the shelter. They play really well together and it will be so much fun to watch them grow up together.

Sugar is just like her name - so sweet. She's tiny tiny tiny and the softest thing ever! She's totally Taylor's little love and lets Tay carry her around all over the house. It's very sweet. I have to keep a watchful eye on Taylor though since Sugar has ended up in doll strollers, a play dog carrier, a backpack, and the doll crib! :)
