Kittens!

I haven't wanted to disturb them enough to take pictures yet, but Mama Kitty had 8 kittens in the garage this morning.  I got to watch the first 4 and then I thought she was done so I went back to the house.  About half an hour later I went to check on her and it was like she was waiting for me.  As soon as I got there she had 2 more.  I was so surprised and certain she was done.  Again I left for about a half an hour.  Upon my return she pushed out Lucky #7.  I rushed to the house to tell the family about this new Johnny-come-lately.... then low and behold when next I checked her there were 8!  Number 8 is actually the only one I didn't witness the birth of and had I not rushed off after 7, I probably could have seen him too.  We are so excited!  The kids are disappointed that they can't hold them, but love to look.
