A Brand-new Baby!

...but this time it's a kitten. All black except for a tuft of white on his chest and on his belly. This is how he arrived (it was Daddy's idea- a co-worker needed a home for this stray kitten), mewing in this box...

...the first timid peek...

And the smile confirms 'love-at-first-sight'!

This little ball is officially Selah's kitten- she has to clean up after him, and make sure his water is fresh, and food is in his bowl...

...but he's a popular figure with the boys (especially Isaiah who's affection, as usual, is quite aggressive).

But Judah is as gentle as he always has been...

Oliver. It's official- that's his name. Come over and introduce yourself- he's become one of the family.
(FYI: for our guests with allergies, please be informed that Oliver-contrary to the pictures- is an outside cat. He sleeps in the garage for now. But he does love to scurry inside the moment the door opens- unless he's been boy-handled too much already by Isaiah!)
