More pics

We also visited the Valley of the Temples...it was located on the windward side in a japanese cemetery. It was quiet with the occasional ring of the 300 ton bell for good luck!

Ring that bell....

Spring Break

Its finally spring break! Wooohooo -- 2 weeks of no school! Emily has been visiting so we've been trying to get out and about a little and see some different places. We went up to Kailua beach on the windward side (windy for sure!) and also visited the Bishop museum -- history museum meets the science center.

The past few weeks

Here are some recent pictures of Meli (maylee). She loves her toys! Its hard to get pictures of her when she's on the move quite a bit when she's awake. Always into something -- never a dull moment!

Try...just try to take my rainbow...

I love my new toy....another one I can de-stuff!

Watchin' tv and chillin

This is what we have to look forward to....

Wish we had a video camera to share Meli's antics with you all, but this will have to suffice for now...

Our future

And this is funny too....

A new addition

Within the last week we acquired an italian greyhound puppy, Meli. She's 4 months old and is quite the handful! She's energetic and loves to play -- she runs up and down the stairs and has figured out how to jump up on the couch. At the same time, she loves to be around us and will fall asleep anywhere comfortable. We're still working on getting used to her and vice versa. Meli is slowly getting better about staying by herself during the day and being crated when we can't watch her when we're home (although she still cries). She won't get to be very big -- somewhere around 15 inches tall and 10-12 pounds. We thought that it'd be better to have a smaller size dog since we don't have a yard. So far she's been entertaining and frustrating as we slowly work on settling into life with a pet.

Here are some pictures from our first week of adventures in puppyhood!

not a good picture, but you get the idea

Tornado.....in Hawaii?!?!?!

Yep...a tornado in Hawaii...Kapolei to be more precise, which isn't far from us at all -- about 10 minutes. It was surprising hearing it on the news!! Check it out

Who knew? Not me!
