Sorry for All the Noise

Sorry for all of the noise these last two days.  Yesterday we visited the teddy adoption center and adopted the nicest teddy horse, teddy alien and two bears.  Then on the way home we stopped by the homeless shelter and met the nicest teddy pup who was looking for a new residence.  The sibling count is up to 951.  We're very sorry for the resulting kitty shrieks.  And we're really sorry about the noise today.  The teacher's assistant for that quilting teaching class we are signed up for called, and since the class is going to be somewhat different due to our poor teacher breaking her leg, we will be getting a lovely gift certificate to spend on fabric and other quilting goodies.  We're thrilled with the gift certificate and are so happy the class hasn't been canceled or postponed, but we think you can pretty well guess that Brother feels totally the opposite way.  Anyway, we're so sorry about all of the noise he's been making.  He should be so ashamed!
