Too Cute!

Our little cat, Trouble, riding home from the vet. I love how his little paws are hanging over the edge of the seat. The sweet little guy has some kidney issues. He is 17 so I spend as much time as possible every day enjoying his cute little personality.

Cousins

K loves getting together with cousins. Actually these guys are my cousins kids so I don't know what that makes them to us but we just call them our cousins.  Ben on the left was in town from Austin where he is in graduate school at UT getting a degree in something I cannot pronounce.  Bill is about to finish his masters at Emory and then planning to go to law school.  I cannot believe his two years in Atlanta are almost over.  So glad he has a girlfriend here so we know he will be coming back to visit.  We all had dinner at Anis-yum!

Gymnastics

Just shoot me!

K has a couple of big projects due on Monday so while she is busy this weekend doing homework I was busy working on homework of my own.  I am taking another photography class-this one is on photographing  people.  This week's assignment was to photograph a group of people.  No easy task!  My sweet friend Lisa loaned me her kids and after much effort I got one acceptable photo.  

V is not only beautiful and photogenic but she was very co-operative.  No so for the other two wild Kazak children!

Wind, rain and hail

Our spring journey break got off to a slow start.  Our flight to Maui was delayed for an hour because the AC on the plane was broken.  Then we boarded the plane and we were delayed again because there were no briefing cards in the seat backs.  I can't make this stuff up!  We finally took off and after about 5 minutes in the air alarms started going off.  The flight attendant was frantically talking to the pilot on the flight attendant phone. The plane turned around and finally the pilot told us were headed back to the airport.  When we landed the plane was surrounded by fire trucks and we taxied to the gate.  We were then told to stay seated and firemen in silver suits with giant axes boarded the plane. They finally let us off the plane and never did tell us what was going on.  We had to wait 5 hours for another plane.  K and I bought almost every magazine at the airport.  We finally got to Maui at 2AM or 7AM Atlanta time.  We were pretty delirious!  Thus was the start of our rainy and windy trip to Maui.

A big plate of cotton candy for desert!

Exploring the tide pools

BIG waves in Kapaula

A group of 5 chickens running around the beach side bar at the Ritz Carlton.  Seriously!  

Finally some sun!

Enough with the pictures!

Another blustery day

Spring Break-Part 1

K is out of the first week of March for Spring break and then she is out of school for the first week of April for Easter break. We are headed here this year instead of here.  Aloha!

5K

K ran in her first 5K last weekend. Our good friend Ginger put on a race to raise money for an orphanage that she works with in Haiti. The weather was beautiful and K and I had a great time running.
