Some of you may have noticed that I haven't been around a lot lately. Sorry about that. We have been doing a major remodeling project - all wood floors throughout the house, and painting the entire interior, as well as redoing the fireplace and adding built-ins to the guest bedroom. The house has been a complete disaster area for a couple of months now. The internet was down for several days earlier this week as they worked on Mark's office. They tell me the end is in sight, but I'm not holding my breath. Contractor time is different from that which regular folks use. 
We had planned (ha ha!) to have all this completed by now, because yesterday I flew to Kansas City and picked up two 10 week old Neva Masquerade Siberian kittens!!!!!
Yes, seven months after Harvey's crossing, we have babies!!
A little boy and a girl. DH named them Boris and Natasha (for those of you not old enough to get it, google it) 
They are beyond adorable. They were amazing on the flight home, slept most of the way thanks to a rowdy play session with all their siblings, half-siblings and parents at the breeders' home during my visit. When we got them home (at 1:00 am), we put them in the only usable room that has a door, Mark's office. The floor installer just finished it yesterday! They played for almost three hours, non-stop. Mark had to go to bed after about an hour, but I just couldn't tear myself away. Finally, I hit the sack at 4:00 am (after getting up at 3:00 am!). Mark was up and in there working at 6:00 am. They have kept him entertained, and distracted, all morning. They are finally napping now. With several beds and blankets scattered about the room, they have chosen Mark's chair as the purrfect bed! 
Natasha is a lynx point (possibly seal lynx point - too soon to be sure). She is very outgoing, inquisitive and determined. She has already made three escape attempts. She will gobble down all of her food, then go eat Boris', and he lets her. I'm going to have to monitor that.
Boris is a seal point. He is more reserved than his sister, but he can still play up a storm!
So I hope you all understand if I am not around a lot for the next little while. I'll try to visit when I can, but between the remodel and irresistible kittens, it's hard to do anything else!
As always, sending vines and prayers to all in need, and
to all their beans.

I can't wait to hear more stories about their adventures in their furever home.
Congratulations Boris & Natasha! and Tricia & DH too
