Joe to the mainland Opps a little late on this. He's back!

Unfortunately for all of us, Joe is on the mainland working. We enjoyed some playtime in Kona before he left and then it has been full throttle since, Parent evenings, Plays, Aila growing and expressing herself in so many ways, and much much more.

The first couple nights Lotus cried for her Appa and resorted to saving her tears in a little container to show him upon his return.

Best Mother's Day

Elijah was born on Mother's Day as well as his Aunt Gerry's and Auntie Julie's Birthdays. What a special day to share with him this year as he turned ELEVEN!


We really are not this washed out looking. I hope it was the flash and dying camera.

Elijah loves to have a homemade apple pie in lieu of cake for his birthday! After a dinner out together, we enjoyed sharing in this yummy dessert!
