This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

Granddaughters, Cats and Surgery

Granddaughters:
We have been enjoying the granddaughters lately with fun play time!

Adelynn especially likes to have me play with her at the small table. Today we enjoyed having tea, mixing food, and feeding the baby.






When we've babysat at Sarah and Dan's house, Olivia really likes to try on my coat. We then play peek-a-boo with the hood. She also loves to use the camera case as her purse. Here Olivia is studying the camera case very intently.

Adelynn and Olivia are a joy to have in our lives and can make your day 100% better!!


Cats:

This week we had a time with the cats. Both Longstreet and Ez are 15 + years old. Longstreet started out the week not feeling well and with a trip to the vet. He had bad tarter on his teeth and an infection so meds and soft food have helped. In fact, he now comes to see me around 5:30 a.m. for more food so I'm sure he is gaining back the 1.5 lbs he had lost!

Ez went to the vet on Friday as she had not been eating even the new soft food. If you know Ez this is a bad sign as she loves her food. Well, the bad news was that neither her kidneys or liver were functioning and she died yesterday morning after being with us for 15 1/2 years. She was Sarah's cat so we met Sarah, Dan and Olivia at the pasture and she now resides in the pet cemetery at the pasture. Clara still looks for her outside as they had become good pals.












Surgery:
Randy went to the doctor the first part of February and will be having surgery March 9th on both of his knees. The right one has two tears on either side of it and the left one has one tear. They will use the scope like Grandpa had. He is doing both knees at once since he has the problem of his heart stopping with needles. It should be an interesting time for both of us :)

  1. The little girls are such a joy. They improve my day when I see them. Would you like us to help you pick a new kitty for Clara to have as a pal?

  2. Oh, Auntie, I'm sure that Clara would love that, but I know as much as they love them, my parents are looking forward to a bit of pet free time. I think that I refigured that Ez was almost 17 - what a great cat in the end, even with a Holly Cat kind of attitude ;) Love the nieces and looking forward to bright days in KS soon!
