Poor Poor Cat

We knew Katie loved to talk to cats, she even loved to touch them, but her obsession didn't magnify until we moved. The poor cat who's name is Shuto, but I may have spelled that wrong, is the object of Katie's desires. She has to go and say good morning to Shuto, goodnight, nap time goodnight, etc. We go down to the basement many times a day to see her. I should mention that Shuto never stayed in the basement before we arrived. She usually spent all her time upstairs. But now that we are here and Molly and Katie are taken with her she stays all day in a chair down here. If we bring her upstairs it is like kitty torture, she yowls the entire time. I think she knows though that Katie loves her. She allows her to do anything to her. Not once has Katie been scratched, and trust me she would deserve it. Katie loves to sit down here and watch her movies with Shuto, and often we will here her tell Shuto as the kitty is meowing in what seems to be discomfort, "it's alright, don't cry," and they continue to watch. Shuto must love Katie back, because I can't see her putting up with this LOVE otherwise.

The pictures below tell the entire story!

Well we made it. After a long arduous move we are finally settled in Wyoming. We have been out seeing the sights, and meeting new people and we are excited for this new chapter!! So far we have been learning how to get around town and getting lost only shows us other things. There are a lot of parks here, and we are busy getting Katie to them. I took her to the library and she is a bit shy around other kids so I hope to get her into pre-school soon so she can make new friends.

We went out for Father's day yesterday and explored Little Mountain. No trip exploring would be complete without the show of wildlife including, elk, deer, antelope, and wild horses. WOW we were awestruck at the beauty. We stopped for a picnic and the trees were covered in scars from elk rubbings. Rick is ready for the hunt. Thank goodness for the new rifle!!!

After we went down the the dam at the Flaming Gorge and looked out, it was hot out so the water looked inviting. Then we went to the Flaming Gorge overlook and saw how amazing the gorge is from up high. But our adventure kept us out too late to cook dinner (OH DARN) so we ate at the Red Canyon Lodge, which I hope to stay at one summer!

We are itching for adventure and want to see it all in one gulp. But we'll have to relax and go as we go. The altitude has made us pretty tired and we hear that it should last for only about a week before we feel back to normal.

Keep watching for more adventures!! Thank you to everyone who has supported us through the move. Your encouragement made this move smoother and stress free on us. We miss everyone and can't wait for you to come visit us in our new home!!!

Love
Amy
