The ultimate set of slide shows

Due to many happenings in the last month there is a plethera of pinatas, I mean, pictures. The first show is from Wiamea Valley, this is where they shot the episodes of lost where the briefcase with the guns in it are at the bottom of a waterfall fed pool. The water was actually very murky and you couldn't see further than a couple of feet but it was cool and very refreshing. Definately worth the akamaina rate we paid to get in. Anyone who visits us will be treated to this attraction as it is one of the best that oahu has to offer. The gardens are amazing and the swimming although a little chilly is very nice. Chris and I were the only ones who swam that day but we will be going back to have everyone participate. The next quick set are the pictures from halloween. Jenny made Ghost costumes for Hannah and Ethan and Abby had a spider costume (that she hated to wear) from wally world. The Hawaiians don't do anything in moderation, including giving out halloween candy, We're still working on eating the kids bounty. Keep in mind there are 5 adults and three kids eating it. It rained pretty hard that night so the kids only got a bit of trick or treating in, but trust you me, it was plenty. The last slide show is of the kids in General in unspecific shots, just a collection of the kids as it were.

Now as for an update of the "going's on". Jenny's situation has changed, please ask my mom or Mirjiam about it if you'd like to know the details. Due to the sensitive nature of the sitation, its probably best to not put it on the internet. I finished my first degree last month, hurray and am planning on moving on to the next one. I am starting my handyman business and continuing my adventure in literature. My latest adventure is fixing TV's. There are so many people here who don't know how to repair a mainboard on an LCD or replace a bulb in a rear projection TV. They just put an add on the craigslist for a free TV. Well I am not one to pass up an opportunity, so I (with Chris's help) go and get the TV, and repair it. Afterward I turn it around for triple the repair cost and yay, money. Of course I have kept one for myself, we now have a 65 inch (yeah its HUGE) Sony hdtv. I picked it up and the voltages were fluctuating and shutting off the safety control switch, I realligned the convergence chips and reset the voltages on the CRT guns and the TV fired right up. Its like having a theatre in our activity room!! The best part is that April is letting me keep it! Cool huh. April is still working for the ER at the Army Medical Base for now, her contract expires late this month. Lindsey and Chris are the same, and we're all a big happy family. We don't know how long Jenny and Ethan will be staying here, so we may have a couple rooms opening up for extra visitors ( or residents ) in the near (ish) future. The kids are growing up really fast, except Hannah, the zinc thing is still making her a pettite girl. Abby has a few words at her command, Hannah and Ethan are like siblings and fight accordingly.
Personally, I have settled into routine and now look at this place as home. Uncle Don has told us that he really wants us to stay permanently and has adopted Hannah as a grandchild. It is really funny to see the two of them together. Don is such a funny guy and he chases hannah and they laugh together and carry on like a couple of babbling monkeys. Now in order to give due credit, Bob and Joanna loan us their small pickup (for tv's and such) and Joanna has showered hannah with artsy gifts of crayons and coloring books. Hannahs art talents are quite amazing for her age!
Well I need to make bread now so I best be off. Enjoy the pictures and please leave comments for me on what things you'd like to see. That's the best way for me to cater to the needs of Aunts Uncles Cousins and Grandparents.
