We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

cat power nap

The girls are getting along a lot better than they were immediately after Celie's bath. There is still the occasional hiss, and I'm worried that Olive might be preventing Celie from using the cat boxes, or might be ramping up the territorial marking as the problem of finding poop outside the box has been renewed. However they've definitely renewed their friendship, as evidenced by this sequence of photos, taken approximately one per hour over the course of an afternoon.

Cute cats! I, too, need to resolve not only to blog more myself but read my friends' blogs more often... So, since I just read a few posts: Sorry about Josh's internship; I'm guessing you're not planning to move to Saudi Arabia; and oh my gosh 16 kids? I have nothing against homeschooling, even if for religious reasons as long as the parents are responsible enough to make sure the kids gt help with anything they can't teach themselves. I knew quite a few homeschooled kids via 4-H when I was in school, and most were getting great (if unorthodox) educations. But the ones from religious families will grow up probably to be just like their parents, which of course given my beliefs I'd like to change!

Hope you're well, I promise to read more often...
