Kittens!

Ashley and I adopted two kittens today.

The darker one on the left is Vala Mal Doran, and the lighter one on the right is Lieutenant Colonel Samantha Carter.  You can start making fun of us . . . . Now.  Go ahead, get it out of your system.  Done?  Ok, good.

Sam is pretty nervous, and runs around like crazy when you try to pet her.  She crawled into a drawer in the coffee table and spent about an hour sleeping in there before we managed to get her out.  It was a bit tricky.  We had no idea where she was until I looked under the table and saw her tail hanging over the side of the drawer.  There is space above the drawer, so we couldn't pull it out while she was in there, and couldn't reach in to lift her out, so we just had to wait her out.  

Here is a better picture of her:

 

Vala is a bit shy, and spent the better part of the afternoon hiding behind the water heater. 

In this picture, we can actually see her, but for most of the day, she had actually walked around behind it all the way, and we couldn't find her without the help of a mirror and flashlight.

They both seem to be settling in now, though, and were running around playing with each other earlier.
