Mi Familia

So...since they're my heart and soul, and since some of you haven't been properly introduced to them yet, I thought I'd make a post about my family.

Cory



Cory is my wonderful, loving husband. Getting to spend my life with him is probably the biggest blessing I could possibly have in this world. He has his flaws, but overall, he treats me like royalty, and does everything in his power to take care of us. It doesn't hurt that he is quite a good cook. Case in point: our dinner tonight consisted of beer-battered fish, onion rings, and hush puppies, and then he even did the dishes. Right this moment, he's in the office working on his homework. I'm so proud of him for going to school. He's had his struggles, but he's getting the hang of it. I could go on about him all day, but that will bore you, so I won't.

Jasmine & Lily



I'm putting these two together because they are mirror twins. It's taken me up until very recently to be able to tell the two apart without much effort. That's 9 months of living here and 21 months of knowing them. Anyway...Jasmine is the sweetheart of the family. She's very quiet and just so lovey dovey. She reminds us of Theodore from Alvin & The Chipmunks. She's really become quite attached to me. She cuddles with me every night when I go to bed. She also drools. She is nudging my hands for a petting right now as I type. Lily is daddy's little girl. She's also a bit of attention whore. We clash from time to time because there are occasions when I can garner Cory's attention away from her, and she doesn't like that. But in general, she just wants to cuddle with daddy.

Jack


Jack is our little Power Ranger. He's only 2 years old while the girls are about 8 years old. He's a firecracker. Loves to play...a lot. He likes to play with the girls. The girls are old spinster kitties, so they're not always happy about it, but in general, they all get along moderately well. Jack is kinda like our equivalent to a dog. He's a big kitty at 15 pounds, and he has a lot of dog-like qualities. He begs for food. I've even started getting him to do tricks for food like standing up and "speaking." He hates to cuddle, though...especially with daddy. Therefore, daddy cuddles him anytime he bothers the girls. It's quite the dynamic.



So there's my family. I love them all to death. One of my favorite things to do in life is to lay in bed with all 4 of them. Cory snoring and the kitties purring. It really makes me feel at home. :)
