WIllow & Isabella's new kittens

We went to the Basalt Farmer's Market this morning and there were two six-week old kittens available. We could not resist, so Lollipop (ISabella's white kitty with a grey/taupe lollipop marking) and Chile/Sugar (Willow's grey/taupe kitty with white markings) - and both with gorgeous blue eyes, came home with us. Scout is none too impressed so far.
