Our Family is Growing

No, we are not pregnant, but we are excited to announce that we have a new addition to our family!  Meet Sheikh Gundy the cat.


Some of you know that we've been talking about getting a cat for forever. Well, we finally gave in and found this cute little guy who was abandoned by his mom and rescued by a lady who runs a "cat hotel" here in Dubai.



What's with his name?  We wanted to name him something that had to do with the Arabic world, so we picked "Sheikh" (pronounced shake) which is what the rulers are called here.  His middle name, Gundy, is after one of our best friends from college, Justin Gundy.  We once told him we would name our first pet after him. :) He's probably hating that we named a cat after him (maybe it would be better if it was a dog??), but it's now written on this blog so there is no changing it! :)
