Puna’s Here for Halloween!
My mom got in late last night for a week long visit. She is here to see Ke'alohi's first Halloween, grab dinner with Lucas' parents and to join in the trick-or-treating fun!

Another Visit from Auntie Jill
We are so thankful for Auntie Jill! Since we have had Ke'alohi, she has made it a point to make sure she stops by and visits us as much as possible. Through all these times we have seen her, she has decided that Ke'alohi is in great need for a cute nickname, one only she is allowed to use. We have all dubbed that because Auntie Jill is going to be the cool auntie in the convertible Audi that will take Ke'alohi … [Read more...]
