No, Ke'alohi isn't getting married but her godfather is! Elijah proposed to his girlfriend Diana today! Elijah had told Lucas and I when we were in the hospital having Ke'alohi that he was going to propose to Diana over Thanksgiving weekend. It has been so hard seeing them both because all I wanted to scream was "You're getting married!" Elijah waited for this special weekend because his family from Hawaii was also going to be in New York … [Read more...]
We have a lot to be thankful for this year. First and foremost, Lucas and I are thankful for our beautiful, healthy and happy daughter. Ke'alohi has brought more happiness to our lives than we ever thought was possible. We can't imagine our lives without her. Next, we are thankful for our families (including Duke and Harley) who have been there for us and supported us in this time of learning how to be the best parents to Ke'alohi that we … [Read more...]
I am so excited for the short work week and Thanksgiving on Thursday with Lucas' family. Mommy's Little Turkey is definitely ready for her first feast (though she will be feasting on formula and maybe a taste of mashed potatoes) and wanted to "break in" and stretch out her shirt for this week. Hope you all have a great week and Thanksgiving with your family and friends! … [Read more...]
November just couldn't come to a close without the greatly anticipated arrival of Kasey and Connor's daughter: Juliette Penelope Stinson! Our friends welcomed their baby girl into the world today and we are so happy and excited for them. I don't know anyone more ready to be a mom than Kasey, especially after she labored with Juliette for 72 hours! She was born this evening at 7:35 pm, weighing 7 pounds, 1.4 ounces and measuring 21 inches. She … [Read more...]
One of my best friends back home won Miss Hawaii USA last night! I have known Brandie Cazimero since my days at Kamehameha Schools. She and I were both in the Kamehameha Schools Marching Band and Colorguard, busy being lettersgirls and captains in the colorguard. There is no one more deserving of the crown and title of Miss Hawaii USA. She will be representing the state of Hawaii at the Miss USA competition in Las Vegas next June and … [Read more...]
We got back from Iowa late last night and couldn't muster up the energy to assemble the high chair that we picked up the day before we left for Iowa. We put it together today and gave Ke'alohi some of her first real food that she ate and didn't play with and spit out. We have been dabbling with trying to give her some bananas and rice cereal for a week or so but she hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. Today, though, she showed us how much of … [Read more...]
Don't worry, I won't make another "Bring It On" reference again. This picture was just too cute to not post. Here is our little snow bunny trying on a beanie in Babies 'R' Us. Ever since we found out we were having a baby, Babies 'R' Us and the Target Baby section have been a weekly stop for us. Lucas now has to pull Ke'alohi and I away from all the cute things!I feel like shopping for Christmas this year will be safer … [Read more...]
