On January 2, '05 we adopted this wonderful little creature. She was born at the end of September of '04 in NYC. Her first adoption mommy had received this little furball as a Christmas gift from her daughter and brought her over to LA. When she turned out to be allergic, she had to give the kitten up for adoption... and then we met her. We named her 'Chaplin' (because of the moustache)

In February Marieke's parents visited us for a month. We had a great time, made little trips and spent time together.

Then, in Spring, it was time to build the shed. It took much more time, effort (and $$), but we finally got it done. Todd helped us a lot, it's almost worth renting the place out....;)
