Tasty Tidbits

I really can't handle the cuteness of our kitten! Tink just tucks herself in wherever we are. And she's so tiny that she can't help but be adorable.

When I was saying bye to her one morning, I jumped back into a plank position to be down on her level. The Bup was making fun of me, so he did the same thing to mock me. Tink came right over, faced us, & jumped all of her paws out just like we had done. Yoga kitty!!!

Her interest in yoga was confirmed the next morning when she joined me on the yoga mat. She got a better workout than I did! She was running & pouncing all over the place, especially on the shadows that my arms were casting on the carpet. Downward-facing dog was her favorite move; she was intrigued & kept attacking my feet.

We're going hiking with friends this weekend. Can't wait to spend the day outside in the fall air!

Here's what we've been eating in the last week:
