    Hello Happiness, Elizabeth and Grace,
    Your Holiday went by so quickly, but I am glad to hear that you all enjoyed your time off. Everyone needs time to relax, especially after all the studying and hard work you girls put into taking your exams. Time with family is always very important, so it was nice that you were able to be with your families. I am very sorry to hear about your cat Elizabeth and I hope that someday you can get another one. We have two kittens( Socks and Elvis) that are about 6 months old now, and have been coming around our house with their mother since they were babies. They were born in the wild, live outdoors and fend for themselves. I started to feed them a few weeks ago so now every evening they make sure to stop in to get their meal. I don’t give them too much food as I still want them to be independent to be able to hunt for their own food. I don’t know if they will ever let us get close, but we do enjoy watching them. The weather has started to change here – it is now fall and much cooler than the hot summer. Continue to do well with your studies and we all enjoy hearing from you girls here at She’s The First!
