First Time Sleeping Through the Night!

Yup, you read that right, Ke'alohi slept through the night for the first time! We are so lucky that she is such a great sleeper and has finally showed that off to us last night!  She went to bed around 10 pm and didn't get up until 6:30 am.  She did stir a little around 3 am but didn't need me to pick her up or feed her.  When Lucas got up this morning he asked me what time she woke up and how long we stayed up for and that's when … [Read more...]

Grandma Paloma’s Birthday

Lucas, Ke'alohi, Duke, Harley and I ventured out to Riverside today to celebrate Lucas' Mom's birthday.  This was the first time we were able to see Lucas' parents' new place and it was so cute.  It is nestled in a little quaint neighborhood just outside of downtown Riverside.  While we were out there, the dogs got to explore the area and definitely liked the freedom to roam inside and outside their "casita."  We had a great … [Read more...]

Ke’alohi’s Legal!

That's right, Ke'alohi has her papers!  Last week, we received her social security card in the mail which meant in California that we can now go to the LAX Courthouse to get copies of her birth certificate.  Since I wasn't feeling too well this morning, Lucas decided to stay home from work to help me with Ke'alohi.  Around mid-morning, we decided to venture out to get me some soup and stopped by the courthouse to pick up a few … [Read more...]

Mommy’s Six-Week Check-Up

First Time Going to Church!

I'm not going to lie but it's been a while since we have been to church.  We have been "slightly" pre-occupied with the pregnancy and Ke'alohi.  Now that the "dust has settled," we decided to venture out once again and take Ke'alohi to Mass.  We decided on taking her to LMU so that she can see where Mommy and Daddy got married.  She was great throughout the whole mass and either slept or ate in Lucas' arms.  One thing … [Read more...]
