I don't know if its the post-pregnancy emotions, but I am crying as I write this. Today we dropped my mom off at LAX. I still can't believe that she has been here six weeks. It really felt like just two or three weeks ago we were picking her up from the airport and getting ready for Ke'alohi's arrival. There is no way that we could have made it through this time without her. She has been so much help doing absolutely … [Read more...]
First Dip in the Pacific and Fourth of July!
July 4, 2011 By Leave a Comment
To celebrate the Fourth of July weekend we all jumped in the car and went down to Solana Beach to visit Lucas' parents, Uncle Dan, Aunt Karen, Bailey, Jocelyn, Aidan and Julian. We had a great time making tacos, cooking smores and going to the beach. We even got to dip Ke'alohi's toes in the Pacific Ocean for the first time. Even though the beaches up here are nothing like the ones back home in Hawaii (Yes, I know I'm spoiled … [Read more...]

It's official, she is growing way too fast. As of today, she can hold up her head all by herself when we are carrying her. She loves looking over our shoulders to see and explore her surroundings. It is her first step towards becoming a little girl. I am overjoyed with happiness and excitement to see my daughter achieve these milestones little by little! … [Read more...]

I can't believe that she is one month old already! It feels like it was just yesterday when we brought her home from the hospital. Time is just flying by way too fast for me! I got the idea from our friend Amee to take pictures of their baby in the same place each month to see how they have grown and every month to write down a few facts of what their baby is doing. Thanks Amee for the awesome idea.Ten Facts about Ke'alohi … [Read more...]
First Outing!
June 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment
We have officially ventured out of the house. We decided to all break free and go to the movies. We strategically picked the first showing of the movie so that there would be the least amount of people in the theaters. We went to see Bad Teacher, starring Cameron Diaz. Going to the movies was a complete success. Ke'alohi slept through most of the movie and when she wasn't sleeping, she was eating. Lucas took … [Read more...]

Opa’s Visit!
June 17, 2011 By Leave a Comment
We are so blessed that Opa (my dad) was able to come up to Los Angeles and visit us! I don't think there are any two people, besides Lucas and I, that are more smitten by Ke'alohi as my parents are. They literally could just look and her and hold her for hours. While he was here, we were able to meet up with Lucas' parents and have the first, of hopefully many, family dinners! The four grandparents might have spent more … [Read more...]
