Our Newest Family Member

For this week's Show and Tell, I'd like to introduce the latest addition to our family.
Her name is Grace(already dubbed Gracie) and she's 5 months old.

We have been talking about getting a kitty for months. Chickadee has wanted one for ages(If she can't have a horse, she's more than happy to settle for a cat!).
Before Christmas we discovered rats in our garage(of which I'm thoroughly disgusted and I can't believe I'm admitting it to the world!). This finalized our decision to get a cat, but we would wait until after the holidays.
So, this week Hubby went to a local animal shelter and we adopted her. This is the first real pet, other than fish, our kids have had.
2yr old Magpie is scared of her. She likes the idea of a kitty-cat, as long as it doesn't come near.
It has been an interesting week; Gracie getting used to us(and we're a lot to get used to!) and us getting used to her.
Next on our list will be a dog. Hubby wants a Boxer, but it won't happen until our yard is properly fenced.
Here's a couple more pictures(it was hard to get a good shot as she was quite skittish at first):
