Zeek

Or as he's known around our place, Mr. Moo Moo, has moved on to bigger and better things.  It's hard to imagine a bigger (we're a family of six) or better (all six of us showered him with love) place, but after a 1 -3 month life expectancy followed by a 2+ year routine of pills and subcutaneous Vitamin B shots, our littlest guy passed away peacefully in my arms this morning just shy of 10 am.  He was my sidekick for 15 years.

May you have unlimited amounts of wet food, an abundance of comforter covers to tear holes in, the warmth of the sun to lull you to sleep, and laps to lounge in.

We miss you Mr. Moo Moo.

The Happiest Place on Earth

After months of planning, waiting, and watching videos of the rides-we-would-soon-ride, we finally headed south to Disneyland for a whirlwind of magical moments.

Welcomed with sunshine and palm trees!

Disneyland with family.

Our Disneyland crew -- from Arizona, Oregon, and Washington.

Running wild in Tarzan's Treehouse.

Mickey's Soundsational Parade down Main Street -- a full-scale, sensory-heavy event.

Pluto time.  A and J had a great time spotting characters, asking for autographs, and posing for photos.

Locked up in Toon Town.

 Hanging with Goofy.

And Captain Hook.

Both A and J were choosen Padawans at the Jedi Training Academy.  With the "unexpected" arrival of Dath Vadar, Darth Maul, and an assortment of Stormtrooprs, Anders found himself battling Darth Maul -- light saber to light saber.

Jorja uses her skills to defeat the dark side of the Force.

Our Padawans receiving their official certificates announcing they've proven to be worthy of triaining to become a Jedi.

Welcome to Cars Land!

Buzz might not have been able to sign autographs (apparently his lasers burn paper), but he's quite photogenic.

 Watching the Pixar Parade on our last night.
