Like the Title for this post says, I will update your curious minds as to what has been happening lately in the Beauton family home. Since my last Post, we have had two new additions to the family. Baloo & Stewie. They are just simply cute, and they both have personalities to match. Here is a picture of them.

Baloo (l) & Stewie (r)
We got Baloo in July of 2008 from the Animal Shelter. The only way I could get Todd to go to the animal shelter was to tell him that we were "only looking." Well my evil scheme worked because Todd fell absolutely in love with Baloo the second he saw him. It didn't help that the poor little Bugger had an URI (Upper Respitory Infection). Lets just say the next day we had him he was blowing bubbles out of his nose. Baloo is super affectionate and demands your attention. His favorite things to do to me is wake me up in the morning to go to work. Oh and I almost forgot to mention that I don't have a pillow anymore since he completely takes over it. I don't mind since his purring next to my head at night since it helps me to go to sleep.
We got Stewie in October of 2008 after much begging to Todd. I reasoned that Baloo needed a little brother to keep him company. Well this little kid is VERY shy around new people, but gradually, he has opened up to Todd and I. While he may be shy, he is very vocal about everything he does or feels. Although he is not as love-hungry as Baloo, Stewie will come and sit/curl up with you and want you to pet him. If you stop petting him, he will meow. Honestly, this kid has no mean bone in his body. He was so tiny (still is, we are thinking he was the runt of the litter) when we first got him and Baloo would attack Stewie all the time (still does) with play fighting.
Todd and I keep telling ourselves that although the kitties do cost us some more money each month, we wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. These little dudes give us so much happiness and unconditional love that I wondered how Todd and I have lived before having them. I know for sure that the cats have really calmed us down or made us laugh at ourselves when we are having a hard day. Its almost like the cats are telling us to chill out and not sweat about the small stuff.
Todd was hired on at TD Ameritrade at the end of September 2008 and is so happy with this job. Todd would have never thought that he would have been working in the Financial Business, but is so happy to have a steady job again. He is so happy because he will get his first bonus at the end of January and he is accruing Paid Time Off along with Holiday pay. He hasn't had that for at least 3years since his job with Adessa.
Other than that, Todd and I have not been up to much in the past few months except for Disneyland. With everything going on right now, Disneyland is our source of escape and entertainment for the time being.
Well I got to go for right now...Update later at 11pm. Stay Tuned....LOL.
