sad day at the Sublett house

Just as the kids were headed to the van for the final day of Sports Camp (our church does a sports camp through Uncharted Waters instead of VBS--very cool!), I hear a blood-curdling scream from Levi.

Daphne is no longer with us.

Daph was the oldest of the Sublett pets. She was an orange long-haired cat we've had for about 7 years. She was ticked about the new kitty moving in, and had decided that she would boycott the inside of the house. Kim thought she might be sick over the past few days. This morning, she was found, motionless, under Kim's van.

Our kids have been pretty broken up about it all day. The staff at sports camp was great. Levi had a good conversation with a high school guy, and we're going to be okay. But Daphne will be missed. She was a great lap-cat.
