Meet My Fuzzy Friend, Wicket!





This weekend we welcomed a new member to our family, "Wicket" the hamster. Named after the main Ewok from Star Wars (big surprise?!?!), Wicket is a very friendly and happy little guy with lots of energy. So far he is doing all the things you would expect; running in his wheel, sleeping in his little house, and tunneling in his wood chips. He is just getting used to us and his new home so he doesn't yet leave the cage on his own. Like when your child first learns to crawl, we anticipate everything to change once he is actively mobile! Cale is loving looking after him and certainly had the pet adoption gentleman at PetSmart convinced that he will be a great pet parent!

"I really like to play with him and hold him", explains CALE.



Drawings and Set Ups

















When Cale is at home he loves to draw Angry Bird scenes and set up his soldiers and/or pirates for battles. He also drew pictures of dad (in an Angry Birds shirt) and mom (hoop earings and blond hair). When Cale is at school he draws mostly pictures of mom and dad and Cale with hearts all over them. Too cute! We are really missing each other during the day now that we are all at different schools all day. There is also a drawing of our newest family member "Wicket", see posting above.
