So much in just one week.......

WOW, this has been one amazlingly long week, full of soo much excitement and emotion!
First of all, thanks Karli for getting a jump start on the BIG news for me. Finally, five days after the big day, I have a few moments (I should be going to bed though) to share the events of the week. Just to update a few details from karli's blog-our little guy, who has a name now, is
Ashkiilani Katsumi Hanamaikai. His first name is actually a combination navajo/hawaiian name which means heavenly boy. We really wanted to give him a navajo name since he is actually more that than hawaiian and no one in the family has taken on a navajo name. We will probably call him Ash for short. His middle name is one of Quinn's. We stewed over the name thing FOREVER but finally after 3 days in the hospital, it was official. A few other details, he was born @ 4:43pm, weighing 7 lbs. 5 oz. and 20 1/2 in. long.














Ame is such a proud BIG sister. Ash actually looks a lot like Ame did as an infant. She is always watching him, loves to hold him & feed him a bottle whenever she can. She is such a good helper with him. We are soo happy to have this new addition to our family. Even kaipo seems excited to have baby Ash around. He is slowly learning to be gentle and calm around the baby.
