There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children. One of these is roots, the other, wings.

Twinkie and Mango

As I've mentioned in previous posts -- it's been a busy few months for our family. One of the most significant changes for us is that we've now got two more twins to feed!

Their names are "Twinkie" and "Mango" and they are the cutest fraternal girl kittens we've seen in a long time.

There were originally four kittens in the litter (all orange girls). Sadly, they were separated from their mom during a storm when they were roughly 10-days old. They've been bottle-raised and are the sweetest little kitties. They are great with the girls and we're excited to have them join our family.

While they haven't met Mocha yet, they're excited to get to know Rio. Of course Rio isn't too thrilled about the idea of getting to know them, but he's adjusting. Even with the new additions, he knows he's still the top cat in our family. =^..^=

Below is one of the best pictures I've taken of the "the girls." As you can see, they're extremely close, and almost always together. It's very much like two other little girls I know. :)
