And the heavens rejoiced...

...because kitty has a name! Mom sent an email to let me know that the new kitten has a name...and it's not Kitty. Our beautiful black kitten with green eyes shall now be known as Esmeralda, or Esme for short. (Esmeralda is Spanish for "emerald"... as in emerald-green eyes.)

Rejoice! Our sixteen-year tradition shall stand firm.
