When we were up in Montana for July 4th, Elsie found a tiny porcelain cat that she named “Baby Mittens” after the character in the movie Bolt. She was forever searching for “Mommy Mittens” and a whole Mittens family. Baby Mittens did not return to Colorado with us, but imagine the joy when Elsie received a gift from Grandpa Michael and Grammy Alison that contained a tiny family of porcelain cats and a bucket of spilled milk. The cats were something that Elspeth had in her office to relax her children and give them something to focus on and now Elsie is greatly enjoying role-playing with them.
