In the last few days, this Bachhuber family has received not one, but two new additions: Mia Hamm and David Beckham:

As my sister gets ready to go off to college, my mom thought it would be best to make sure the house stays lively.  We visited the local animal rescue shelter, and Maggie picked out her favorite: Mia.

Madeline, envious of Maggie’s new friend, decided she wanted to get one too: David.

Lively it’s been, too, as these two dynamos never stop.  Personally, I’ve never thought myself much of an animal person, but the two new kittens are growing on me.

Somedays you just have to take a break from the work to capture the beautiful things around you.
