I've been bad blogger!

There is a combination of reasons why I haven't blogged for a while. Among them, Christmas cards, decorating, Christmas tree decorating, Gymnastics classes, Christmas projects....Oh, and we have been pretty boring lately. Christmas is going to take a lot of extra effort this year as we will be traveling across the Pacific with Christmas packed in our bags.

Travis had a beautiful 6 days in a row off. We had a lot of fun just being together. The weather was wicked though. We are having major rain storms and wind everyday. He is beginning his training for an Ironman on the big island next year and had to go buy a treadmill to run on because his running trails are all washed out. We had a playdate at the park this morning and it was rainy and windy. The plus side of this weather is that we get to wear jeans and jackets! It actually feels a little winteryish.

Veda stopped sucking her thumb (during the daytime) and she got her kitty. He really is a cutie! We weren't sure how Haui would take to little Choco. He was completely fascinated at first. We weren't sure if he was protecting it or trying to eat it. He would follow him around and not let him out of his sight. I conclude that he does love the kitty, so much that he has to use great self control to not take a little nibble or two.

Choco is only 5 weeks old and really misses his Mommy. He snuggles with Haui in his bed and Haui tolerates it pretty well. Choco pushes Haui over the edge when he tries to nurse on him though. Haui gives a mean growl.




Choco is named for his color - chocolate. I have never seen a solid brown cat! Has anyone else? He has bright blue eyes too. Very pretty.

Congrats to Veda on quitting the habit (maybe she won't have to suffer through years of braces now) What a super cute little kittie. that's quite a family you are developing there!

Choco is so cute - way to go, Veda! We are considering getting a kitten for the boys this year (from Santa)....shhhh. You've been a busy lady - love & miss you.

Oh, and yes, those decorations ARE from the post-xmas sale at Target...have you ever gone??? Hmmmmm???

When Trav told me Norman/Choco was a brown kitten I was shocked. i don't think I've ever seen a chocolate brown kitty. She looks cute. Has Veda settled on Choco then?
