Newest Member of the Family

Jonathan and I would like you to meet the newest member of our family... We are pleased to welcome PEACHES P JONES!!!!

She was warmly welcomed by Jonathan, me, and her two new brothers, Shadow Yeilding and Jefferson Sidney Jones. She's adjusting well and has spent the first 24 hours exploring her new home, pestering her brothers, and running from Jonathan and I.

We brought Peaches home Friday, October 10, 2008- a year from our wedding. We were honored to meet her at our awesome Lake Austin Vet when we went to buy a bag of Shadow's special food. We fell in love with her and inquired about the adoption process... once we got home we couldn't stop thinking about her. I called the next day, drove down there after work, and brought home our new baby girl.

The first name we thought of before she was even ours is what really sealed the deal; I had a conversation with a coworker earlier in the day about Princess Peach and Princess Daisy from Mario Brothers... long story, but when we got home after meeting Peaches, we were discussing the idea of getting another kitten and for fun started thinking of what we would name her; Jon's first thought was Peach. I asked him why he thought of that particular name; he said he'd first thought of Princess because she's a little prissy princess, which then made him think about Princess Peach, which then made him think about Peach. I suggested Peaches and remembered the conversation I'd had earlier in the day; "IT WAS MEANT TO BE!" I said. She looks like a ‘Peaches’, orange and white like peaches-n-cream.

Shadow's always been like my shadow and his name stands alone, while Jefferson gets first and middle name from my wonderful PaPa's birthday and Jefferson's adoption day, and Miss Peaches has a very unusual middle name; P is her actual middle name and it stands for Princess (one of the origins of her name) and Priss (cuz she is!!!)

Three awesome kitties, years and years of fun:
Shadow- September 5, 1995 (Became a member of the Yeilding family around 12 years ago.)
Jefferson- May 12, 2007 (Became a member of the Yeilding-Jones family on July 4th, 2007.)
Peaches- August 8, 2008 (Became a member of the Yeilding-Jones family on October 10, 2008.)

We're lovin' every second and sure enjoy sharing our joy.
