An update from the Bell-Kahler household is overdue! The main reason for this is that I've been very bad at putting new batteries in the camera, and I hate doing blog updates without good pictures. This, however, will be the post of links, because there are a lot of things happening online that we're excited about.
First, the cheerleading team had a reporter come and spend some time with us just after the beginning of the semester. The woman was very nice, and she came to a few of our practices and a game. I'm not sure why the sudden interest in cheerleading (possibly they were discussing the teams futile record), but the result was this:

We're just a class C college cheer team, but its nice to get a little recognition and to be able to show off a bit.
Our house has fluctuated a little. We had a shepherd/shiba names Cooper for a few weeks with a broken leg, who just went back. He and Peachers are best friends, and we got a little video of them playing together which was adorable:

Then we took a beautiful black lab lady named Myrna, to teach her some manners. She's very good in the house, but wary with new people, so I try and take her out with me as much as possible. We also disappeared a miniature schnauzer this morning, and he's very sweet. Will post pictures of them soon, as soon as I find fresh batteries.
Nate has been hard at work on a website for the animal shelter (I've infected him with the animal bug!). We're trying to get as much done before this weekend as we can. We're enjoying the work, Nate likes to teach me his html tricks, and we're laughing and teasing each other a lot.
The title refers to the many cupcakes that are sitting on our counter, which are all 100% vegan (no animal products!). The group that is raising money for HELP tomorrow is an animal advocates group, and they can't support the use of any animal products... they made me watch a video of how they treat egg-laying chickens and I'm considering building a coop so that we can have our own eggs here. We both know that vegetarian and vegan is more sustainable, but haven't been able to make the switch over yet. We can't seem to find a vegetarian dish that tastes as good as some of our favorite meat ones do. As an additional thought (and yes, I see the irony here), I don't think I could give up eating shrimp.
Thats all folks! Hope all is well in your respective necks of the woods.
