Tw: pet loss

Today I said goodbye to my sweet Itty Bitty after 21 years and 2 months together. She has been through so much with me; high school, college, multiple moves, summers in Maine, loves and losses, marriage, and her second BFF Callaghan.

She had such a long beautiful life and went peacefully with Angel Paws in the comfort of our own backyard surrounded by people who loved her and in my arms.

When I was 14 and my parents let us get a cat I didn’t think she would become my absolute best friend and comfort. She has cuddled me through it all and I am so grateful I could be there to cuddle her through the end.

I will miss her every single day and there will never be another pet like my sweet Itty Bitty kitty 🐈‍⬛

Halloween has entered the building! I used Aqua Colors and Glatzan bald cap to create this look

We got our sneak peak photos from 🩵🙌🏼 They did the BEST job ever capturing the joy, the love, and the FUN that was had all weekend long. and I cannot THANK everyone enough for coming and celebrating with us in Maine ( ), the happiest place on earth. We have been riding the high for two weeks now and get to relive it over again with these beautiful photos! Love. Love. Love.

We have the BEST friends and family to ever exist! Love you all so so so much!!!!!

P. S. We will be sending out Thank You cards after and Brett tie the knot this weekend! Also full vendor post to come soon too!

, Callaghan, and I are so grateful and appreciative to everyone who participated in our couples shower. It was truly special and we feel immensely loved, eternally thankful, and like we are surrounded by the most supportive friends and family in the world. We haven’t done anything the normal way and our village has been by our side the whole way, whichh means the world to us 🤍💜🤍💜 THANK YOU again to everyone! What a beautiful day!

Well we had the best laid intentions for doing his 10 month photos tonight, but Callaghan had different plans. In classic Ash Catchem style he is sleeping through his Pokémon choosing. Alas we will try again tomorrow morning 😂

Anyone have any bets on which he’ll choose?

Holy smokes Batman Callaghan is 9 months old today!

•Weighs 24 lbs
•30” length
•Just popped two more teeth (the top front teeth to match his bottoms)
•Wearing 18-24 months clothing 😳😭
•Has tried so many foods, but only has met one he hasn’t enjoyed “verduras mixtas” (mixed vegetables) that we got from Mexico. Other than that he loves salmon, tuna, crab, chicken, steak, pork, eggs, cheese in every variety, beets, squash, pumpkin, fruits, etc. He’s a big time foodie like his parents and grandparents
•He is crawling and standing everywhere meaning nothing is safe anymore. We’ve been baby proofing everything, but unfortunately there’s not much we can do to prevent him from chasing Itty Bitty down 😅 She tolerates him though and seems to enjoy it 🖤
•Side Note: Batman holds a special place in our hearts since when we came home from the hospital with Callaghan we first watched all of the LOTR movies as a family, but then Callaghan and I cuddled up and watched every single Batman movie ever released in chronological order. Plus Colin lovingly does narrating for Callaghan in Christian Bale’s Batman voice, which cracks me up every single time.
