Welcome to Mak and Jack

This is a journal that irregularly chronicles the crazy life, mishaps and adventures we have had since shortly before we traveled to Chongqing, China in August of 2006 to adopt our daughter (a sister for Jack,) Makena.

Zoo

This picture would have been perfect had I been faster to whip out my Iphone to capture the cat in this shot, as well. But he saw Makena on the hunt for him and bolted. I did manage to get Makena, Tiger, Romel and Scarlet in the same frame so I would deem this a successful shot. I have visions of rounding up all our animals, along with the kids and posing them for a holiday but I chicken out every year at the time consumption such a photograph would take.
Makena is obsessed with Jerry. She finally caught him and wanted to introduce him to Rommel, but the tortoise was too preoccupied, trying to snap at Tiger, to bother. Every time Tiger makes an appearance in the "tortoise sector" of the yard, Rommel makes a mad dash for the dog and chases him away. He is extremely territorial.
Jerry is quite possibly the best cat. He has been with us a month and has not scratched or bitten Makena. This poor cat spend half his day in her embrace (under our supervision). He has learned to go very limp and pretends to sleep. As soon as Makena releases her grip, he sprints away to hide and then the search for the cat begins again. Endless, obsessive fun for a three year old.
