First Night Sleeping in the Crib!
September 26, 2011 By Leave a Comment
It is with a surprisingly heavy heart that I write that Ke'alohi is no longer sleeping in our room next to us in her bassinet. When we first got pregnant, I really only pictured her sleeping in her crib from the beginning. As we got closer to my due date, we realized that with my mom staying with us to help out, it would be easier for everyone if Ke'alohi stayed in our bedroom in the beginning because of all the late night feedings. … [Read more...]
LMU Alumni BBQ

The last weekend of every September is the LMU Alumni BBQ. It is a great time to visit the campus and see old friends. It was especially special for us this year because we had Ke'alohi with us. When we look back, the last three times we have come here, we were at different milestones; engaged, married, or pregnant. It's crazy to see how time is flying by!We got to see so many friends and it was great that everyone we saw … [Read more...]

This must be the week of visits and surprises! It might be also because my maternity leave is nearing the end and I want to make sure to see as many people as possible that have loved and supported Lucas, Ke'alohi and I throughout this pregnancy and parenthood. So, we decided to head down to South Bay and visit my hula sisters at practice. They showed us a few beautiful dances (do they ever really dance anything but beautiful) … [Read more...]
Visit with Auntie Hayley and Hartlee

Hayley was one of my sorority sisters and was also in my "Theta Family." We both got pregnant around the same time and had girls about two weeks apart. Because of all the craziness with being new moms, we weren't able to actually hang out and see each other until now. It was so much fun watching Hartlee and Ke'alohi play with each other and asking each other the standard new mom questions of "Does your daughter do this?" and "Is … [Read more...]
Surprise Visit to Auntie Jill’s Office

Jill is without a doubt one of my closest friends and is truly there whenever I need her. Ke'alohi and I wanted to show her a little love so we surprised her at work with flowers. If you know Jill, she works harder than anyone I know, so we knew that the best place to surprise her or to see her was her office. We were right that she was crazy busy, but she was able to show us her office and hang out for a few minutes.We love you … [Read more...]
Happy Birthday Daddy!

We all know that Ke'alohi is a daddy's girl, so we loved that we got to spend his first birthday since her birth as a family. We spent the day shopping for the perfect gift for him; a stroller! Well actually the gift is more for Ke'alohi but we have gotten used to the fact that most of "our" presents now days will be really for Ke'alohi.Ohh, the joys of parenthood! Here is a picture of Daddy and Ke'alohi yesterday at … [Read more...]
