Yeah, um, it's been a while...

I am really, really sorry that I've been away for so long. So...Cracker's settled in quite nicely. His right eye has developed a film over it, but he wasn't using it anyway. Here are some of the latest pictures: All three kittens.

So...not much has changed, except for the fact that I'm a new aunt again (my sister's new baby Benjamin Leo Hunt, born on 7/31), and we went on a cruise just a couple of weeks ago. We tried Carnival and left out of Miami. We went to the Bahamas and did snorkeling:



We were there for only a couple of hours, but had a lot of fun. We went by the island where the movie Blue Lagoon was filmed. We then went to St Thomas, where we did SNUBA--you have an oxygen line instead of a tank like SCUBA, and it allows you to go about 30 feet down. We had a blast! We were in an ocean park where there were these really big iguanas everywhere. I'll post some pictures of them shortly. We then went to St. Martin and rode Rhino Riders (they're inflatable boats with engines and can go about 30 mph) and did a bit of snorkeling. We also caught the tail end of TS Fay, but were drinking Guavaberry Coladas, so we weren't feeling any pain. It was just rain--we weren't gonna melt!

We had a really good time. The boys were in an inside cabin and we were in a balcony. Carnival was all right, but it didn't compare to Royal Caribbean. We booked our next cruise for next July, and we're jazzed because it looks like Don's mom and stepdad will be coming with us!

I'm going to figure out why I can't add more pictures on this post. May God's unending peace be with you.
