After the viewing last week, Lydia, Adelle, Jeff, and I played Pretty Pretty Princess. I took pictures this time and thought I should share. Adelle won (again). I think she's just really good at the game because she's a real princess inside.
At the end, we got a little silly as Princess Adelle showed off to Grandma. I love Lydia's look. And Jeff's. It's great.

On a much sadder note, on Monday morning my brother Dustin's cat Patches had a stroke or something. He was leaving my room to go upstairs and started making really odd and worrisome noises. When I went down to check on him, he couldn't move his back leg. And he was really freaking out. I've never seen him so agitated before. It took him a few hours before the shock wore off enough that he could sleep. I stayed with him all day and fed him. Dustin was at work. And I knew that he would want to see his cat again.

Monday night, Patches seemed to be doing a bit better. He had stopped panicking and could pull himself around very awkwardly with his front legs and use his other back leg a bit, but by Tuesday morning things had deteriorated. He could hardly move. Dustin made the very difficult decision to put him down. I'm going to miss talking to him during the day when I'm home alone. He was a very vocal and generally loving cat.
Goodbye, Patches!
