well...

We have 2, yes, 2 new additions to our home. I told you last week or so that we were getting Arwyn. Well, she has an older sister (only older by minutes of course) and we decided to take her too. I was worried Arwyn would be lonely. She has been a little scared today. She is shivering and is not too sure of her new home. However, her big sister (--yep, she is big!! lots of rolls and cute as a button, might I add) came along and she is adjusting just fine! Erik named her. There was a lot of discussion about that. My sister Melissa chimed in with some really good suggestions. Our other 2 babies (kitty babies) are named Obi Wan and Geordi. Named after characters from movies (and TV). Arwyn is an elf from Lord of the Rings (my favorite). Mel said we should not break our routine/cycle/whatever you all it. But, alas, Erik won out. Well, acutally, I came up with the name and he decided that was it. We named the bigger girl Jorja. Yeah, I know, another crazy name. But it fits. One of our favorite characters on CSI was played by Jorja Fox. We talked a long time ago about the name and how much we liked it. It also fits well because, well, we lived in Georgia for over 5 years. I am adding some pictures. I hope you enjoy! We will update you on our babies as they grow. We are so excited! Melissa (sister) is getting 2 of the brothers. I told her we could schedule play dates! Hee hee! :)

Introducing....Arwyn Barlik

Introducing... Jorja Barlik

Arwyn is lighter in color. Right now she has 2 blue eyes (mom is mostly husky and has beautiful blue eyes...we hope this stays that way!) Jorja is darker in color. She also has black tipped ears and her white streak is not as big as lil' sister Arwyn. Jorja has 1 dark eye (brown or black??) and 1 blue eye. Different, but very cute! They both have white paws and white bellies. Jorja is bigger and Arwyn was the runt. So she is smaller. They are gonna be so much fun!
