Yesterday was a sad day for us. Nicki got very sick over the weekend from her kidney failure which she has had for years. She passed away yesterday morning but thankfully it was very peaceful.

Thank you for your prayers and thoughts for us in this difficult time. It helps that she was with us for 18 years and made my world a happier place.

Isn't this a cute picture of Orange Cat?



In other Keeney news.. we finished the hallway!!! (Well mostly, I think I will be replacing the laundry doors but other than that, it's done!) Thanks sooooooo much to Tom and my mom who did so much of the work!





Last but not least, Jamie spent all day yesterday planting 30 plants in the backyard! They are in the planter below the trees and look great! I can't wait for a month from now when they really start to fill in :)

Well it has been a while since I wrote last.... I had a couple of friends from Australia come out to visit, Tania and John :) They are on the right. It was a whirlwind trip for them, arrived on Saturday to LAX and then hopped another plane to Vegas! Wow, as if that wasn't enough, they then drove to our house on Sunday and spent the next few days at Disneyland, Universal Studios and driving around Hollywood all in the pouring rain. They were good sports about it and said they would prefer to be in line for 5 minutes in the rain than an hour in the burning sun. I have to agree with them there!



My cousin Renee treated herself to a new car! Very exciting as this is her first new car and wow does she need it. She has to drive to downtown LA every day!



We bought a new dining table. it is very exciting as this one actually can have plates, utensils, glasses and the serving dishes all at once on the table! We are moving up, let me tell you! Before you know it, we'll have a room that fits the table!




Yesterday (Happy Easter by the way) we went to Vahag's Baptism. It was very interesting to watch... now if only I could understand Armenian... Sossi and George looked very happy and Vahag and Hrag were both very good! The food was outstanding and we even danced a bit. What a great party! By the way, did you notice my handsome husband in his new suit??? Here are more pictures Vahag's Baptism

And last but not least, if you want to laugh check out this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMH0bHeiRNg well worth the wait on the download time. It is called the Evolution of Dance where this guy dances to a bunch of old songs. I loved it!
