Cinnamon's

I had the best breakfast a few weekends ago. My mom and Aunty both had heard of a restaurant called Cinnamon's in Kailua, on the other side of the island. I checked out the menu online, and all of us were convinced with "guava chiffon pancakes." So after church, we all headed over the Pali to get some breakfast. With the maps application on my iphone, we found the restaurant even though none of us are familiar with the area.
We were seated outside, and started with great coffee. I was all set to get my guava chiffon pancakes, but I spotted the pumpkin pancakes on the specials board, and immediately knew that was it. I also wanted something salty, so I ordered the homefries with cheese. Luckily, mom ordered the guava, so I shared a bite. Wow! All the food was amazing. The potatoes were the best I've ever had, and the pancakes were fantastic. The pumpkin pancakes were rolled and filled with a cream cheese filling and topped with cream. The sweetness was perfectly balanced with the salty potatoes.
I can't wait to go back!

Meow meows!!

David really loves the kitties. Every time he sees me or talks to me on the phone, he asks me about the "meow meows." He loves to give them hugs and kisses. He also loves it when Sakura licks his hand. David unfortunately discovered her claws while trying to join her in the kitty tent, but that hasn't deterred his affection for them. Both kitties are very patient with him. And even though he has tried to share their food and play in their "sandbox," it has been fun to watch them interact.

Kitties Halloween!

Okay, I am kinda cheating on the pictures in this one. I dressed the kitties up in their Halloween costumes when I was back in Japan, and didn't out them on again here, so I am using the old pictures of their costumes. Anyhow, I tried to stick with a Japanese theme for the kitty costume and David's (which I'll post once dad gives me pictures).

My room

I keep forgetting to post pictures of my room here at grandpa's.  The first ones are the "before" pictures with dad and I hard at work.
Starting with the armoire with the kitties on top, they are the "after" pictures. It really is so comfortable and nice here. Grandpa and I get along pretty well. I also bought a little fold-out futon for anyone who wants to visit!
The little attack kitties also did their job by corning a small roach for me while I was asleep and keeping it there until I got up and killed it.
They both really like this green chair, and look how close they are!
