Here is the blue boy - we are calling him "Big Foots" for now, for obvious reasons! He takes after his dad, who was a really big kitten, and is pretty big as an adult. Foots is the first of the 3 to purr for me.

Here is the fawn girl - we are calling her "Pinks". She's got quite the personality! When they got too big for their enclosure, she was the first to climb into bed and curl up with me. I expect she'll be the bravest when we head out to the show hall! Unfortunately, this photo is a bit blurry - she kept raising a paw to bat at the camera!
Here's the blue girl. She has a little collar so she's easy to tell apart from her brother. I love the markings on her face, and her color is looking very nice. She's still not sure she wants to be my best friend, but she will purr for me if I give her a head massage.
Here he is again, Big Foots. He had just woken up, which is why it was not too difficult to take the photo!
Here's the blue girl. She's really developing nicely. The boy has looked promising for a while now, but the girls' ears were pretty small - then suddenly one day last week they sprouted! Now they both have lovely big Somali ears.
Above are both the girls. The blue girl reminds me of her mother's mother, Peanut, with her sweet expression. The fawn, Pinks, looks more like her dad, Fool.
Below is Pinks, front and profile shots. Like her dad, she's brave, sweet, but takes everything in stride.
