Mum and Mollie the kitten

Madeline and I are in Pennsylvania again this weekend, and this time we've come bearing gifts. As a special Mother's Day surprise, we brought one of Ann's new kittens for Mum, who obviously needed one. The one we picked out was a sweet little girl with a tortoise-shell coat. She's beautiful.

I'm pretty sure it was love at first sight, and Mum chose the name Mollie (not to be confused with Molly, the wood shed kitten from 2002). She picked out that name in a bit of inspiration after looking at a Mollie Katzen cookbook. Mollie is a sweet little kitten who loves to cuddle. I hope they'll be happy together for many years to come...
