Another interesting thing that has happened today…Hannah got a kitty. Dad doesn’t know. *In the most sarcastic voice imaginable* He’s gonna be so excited.
Nanna wants to call her Sitka…why does that name sound so familiar you ask? Well I will tell you.

Because it was the name of the guy from Brother Bear, that’s why. At least it was the cool older brother…
Sitka is also the name of a fur trading town Russians founded in Alaska (so it’s a Russian name, not Alaskin…unless the Russians had a nice discussion on what they ought to call the settlement with the Eskimos or Inuit or whatever you want to call em).
LOOK--VOLCANO!
It was also the name of an actor who became a STOOGE.http://www.answers.com/topic/emil-sitka
…and a tree, which just happens to be the tree on the Oregon coast that recently fell. It was the largest till it died.
I am sorry little kitten. I suggested Arwen or Evenstar or something pretty. It appears that Hannah is as stubborn as David. The only animal in this house that has a proper name is my dog Lancelot.
…now, or she wants to call the kitty Dakota, which has a real meaning—friend. Either that…or something…Eskimo. Apparently I get to research it.
This is funny, but Lance is having a fit over the fact Nanna just took her kitty away from my tummy. She was a good belly warmer, sleeping there like she didn't have a care in the world. Lance seems more interested in her than Scout...I wonder if that's cause the kitty comes in a snack size meal.
OK...I'm really hungry. Where the heck is food?
well sitka is a place in Alaska :D
