So, I made a whole chicken last week, and always have a lot of chicken left over. Neal always buys cans of soup to take to work for lunch, so I thought I’d give some homemade chicken noodle soup a try. I sort of used a recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens cookbook, but altered it some. I threw some onion, carrots, celery, parsley and of course chicken in the crock pot with some chicken broth and let it simmer all day. I threw in some cooked noodles when I got home from work.

It was really good!

And now we have plenty of leftovers for Neal!

OK, so I have to post these next pictures. They aren’t really good pictures, because I just wanted to hurry up and take them before the cats moved. Here’s the deal – I walked into the living room the other day and they were both lying on the couch, with their paws around each other. I melted, it was so adorable.

Can you see? They totally hate the flash on my camera, so that’s why their eyes aren’t open. Ferris has his left arm around Simone, and Simone has her left arm around Ferris. ADORABLE!

How precious is that! They moved shortly after this. I was so happy I got this picture. They cuddled as kittens, then went through this phase where they didn’t really interact nicely with each other. Now, they sleep cuddled together on our bed all day, and we find them in positions like you see above. I’m so glad they have each other!
