More ZoeWee =)

We've had Zoe-Wee for about a month and she's slightly bigger now... about 2 pounds. Here's some post-nap, pre-bath pictures.

Meet Baby Zoe-Wee

Jeff very graciously allowed me to get a puppy. We adopted this baby girl a few weeks ago.
She's a Morkie (Maltese-Yorkie) and Jeff named her Zoe-Wee. His first choice was Bell.
(Get it? "Taco... Bell!")
How is Taco dealing with her? At first he was being a sulky snob towards her, but he is finally accepting... well, tolerating... her presence. I don't blame Taco for being annoyed. Zoe-Wee is a hyper-energetic ball of fluff who likes to beat up Taco. We'll post some videos soon so you can see what we're talking about!

2011 Drama

Neither Jeff or I had background involvement in any drama. Therefore, this drama involved a huge learning curve for us. We enjoyed drawing close to our fellow cast/crew members, developing skills we previously never had, and were deeply grateful and humbled to be a part of the entire experience. What struck us both was the immense amount of work, sacrifice, and commitment involved behind the scenes. All the effort was well worth the result: spiritual education and encouragement. We were privileged and humbled to contribute in a small way to this fine endeavor.

Things that make you go "Awwww"

Taco & the Babies

Good food + good friends + good fun

Jen visited from Maui recently, giving us a great excuse to go out for some yummy Thai food.

Seeking & Finding Beauty

Jeff and I spent the last day of my summer break at Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens. It was Jeff's first time. We packed lunch, had a little picnic, and strolled the grounds. Here are some of the flora and fauna that we enjoyed.

Lanai Ninja

Jeff and I arrived home one day to find this mama cat and her three kittens on our lanai. The kittens were a few weeks old already so she must have given birth somewhere near our unit, then brought her babies to our lanai. Unfortunately, the mama cat got sick (we suspect poisoning) and we had to bring her to the humane society. We've been caring of the babies until the shelter has room to take them. The orangey-grayish one is a ninja! We tried to barricade part of our lanai to keep them contained, but she always found ways to escape.

Greens & Blues

Like Jeff's tie? It was a thrift store find & only cost a buck!
