At this appointment with Dr. Ouchi, Ke'alohi weighed in at 20 pounds, measured 27 inches and her head circumference was 17 inches. I was just as surprised with Ke'alohi's weight and height increase as last time, but Dr. Ouchi told me that I shouldn't worry because once she starts crawling and walking, her weight should even out. Ke'alohi is now slightly off the charts for weight and in the 90th percentile for height. There were so many … [Read more...]
After we were married, Lucas and I decided that if we spent the holidays with our families, sometime that same weekend, we would do a little dinner with our little family to celebrate the holiday. Today we had "Our Little Thanksgiving Dinner." For Thanksgiving, I always have the dinner after the holiday because everything is on sale! It might be the Chinese in me, but I love the fact that we can buy a 10 pound turkey for $8 and all the … [Read more...]
Out of all of Ke'alohi's aunties, she definitely gets to see Auntie Jill the most. This time when Auntie Jill visited she brought a special visitor, her mom! Auntie Shirley was in town to visit Jill and to celebrate Thanksgiving with Andrew's (Jill's boyfriend) family. The two of them had way too much fun with Ke'alohi in her exersaucer playing with her stuffed animal ladybug. We all got to talk about the holidays, shopping and Christian … [Read more...]
We were so excited when we found out that Brandie would be in Los Angeles for a layover. Since she is a flight attendant with Hawaiian Airlines and came in on the night flight, she would be in town until the next day's night flight back to Hawaii.

We had such a … [Read more...]

We love it when we can get together with Lucas' family for Thanksgiving, specifically for all the great food that Aunt Karen, Bailey and Peggy make. This year's food was no different from last year, tasting just as good as I remembered. Thanksgiving dinner just isn't the same without Aunt Karen's sweet potato casserole, Bailey's mashed potatoes and Peggy's stuffing! We got down to Solana Beach at about noon and hung out around the house … [Read more...]
We made our way down this morning to spend Thanksgiving with Lucas' family in Solana Beach. It is kind of a family tradition for their family to play a fun game of football and this year the game took place down at the beach a block away from their home. Though Ke'alohi and I wanted to get in on the action we watched and cheered on Daddy from afar on our little blanket. It was a great moment when at halftime, Ke'alohi showed us all that she … [Read more...]
