So, it’s slightly unbelievable that we’ve posted 10 times and not yet managed to slide on a picture or two of our lovely family.  Introducing: Hamish (turning 8!) Maggie (6) Vega (3) and Haatim (2)… our family.

Obviously, we are animal lovers. Our house is a zoo. A menagerie, I like to call it!

We’re not really worried how our animals will react to kids.  Hamish is WONDERFUL with children.  He takes the abuse and loves playing. He is just amazing to watch with babies, how he sits quietly with them and how they just burrough their noses into him.

Maggie can be a little excited and bumpy, so we have to watch her with little ones, but she loves toddlers and even lets them play horsey. 

Vega is that cat that gets hauled around by the neck, dressed up in a bonnet and force-fed juice by an imaginative little girl.  We’ll have to watch her that she doesn’t crawl into bed with the kid(s) when they are little, she’s such a lovey. 

And Haatim, our big big baby.  Well, I think he’ll keep his distance.  He’s a little petrified of screaming drooling small people.  He’ll watch from a safe distance.  He is a really gentle player, though.. he’s never ever used his claws.

I don’t really think the animals will feel that neglected, since they already have to share us amongst themselves.  We’re just one big happy family!
