Newest member of the family

Meet Bella, the newest addition to the Truitt home. She's the little one. The other one is Pooter, The First Feline. Christopher named Bella - so there is absolutely no intended reference to a certain series of books or movies....he decided her name was Bella and there was no turning back. I found her outside of a CVS Pharmacy, scared, skinny, and also starving for attention. I just couldn't leave her. She's a very sweet girl with quite the loud motorized purr. Pooter wasn't too sure about her at first, but they're getting along quite well.



Bella really likes to watch TV. It's pretty funny. This is a blurry shot of her being captivated by EVE on WALL-E. The other day the credits for something were scrolling down the TV and she was standing on her hind legs in front of the screen, trying to reach it with her front paws. Quite the character. She also LOVES to play! If you're dangling a string in front of her you'd better hold on tight because she's likely to yank it right out of your hand and run around the house with it in her mouth like a trophy!

Easter Eggs experience The Force



I feel so tech savvy today. I actually figured out how to do this all on my own. Yes, I'm very proud of me.
But enough about me - I am posting this to brag about my son. This is from Easter - hence the Easter eggs. Christopher's new obsession is Star Wars and he was convinced that he had "The Force" and was able to use "Force Push" on the eggs to make them stop moving. He was so excited about it that he wanted me to take a video on my phone so I could send it to his daddy. It took me this long to get the WiFi on my phone to work well enough to finally upload the video. Baby steps.....
The audio is not great, except for my loud voice right next to the phone. He insisted that I give him a "Da-da-da-daaaa!!!" introduction so that he knew when to start.

Easter 2010

The lovely, blurry photo above was the end of the hunt for the Easter 'backpack.' Grandma takes care of the Easter basket, so we fill his backpack - I mean, the Easter Bunny fills his backpack with non-candy things for him to find Easter morning. We had a little bunny toy that we put in our room and tied a string to its foot that he followed to find the backpack.

Okay, we let him have a little bit of the candy supply from Grandma's surplus, but after checking out the cool star shaped of the candy in the tube, he was more fascinated with the green rabbit key chain that had been on top.

Sports ball easter eggs. Cool.

"How did the Easter bunny know to give me books?!?!? Did you tell him I can read now?"
