SUmmer begins...

This week was the first official week of summer,
and we started if off with swim lessons.
It began as I expected-Ame was a great listener
and student (always willing/wanting to please),

Kaipo just wanted to swim,
not listen so much.
After the first class his teacher
said I can teach him, but he will
learn A LOT more if will actually listen
DUH!!
So we had a talk and made some
deals with Kaipo and he has been
doing much better
AND sooo proud that he swam in the
deep end.

Ash was very timid at first
and it took the first half of class
to get him settled and willing
to stay in class (as I expected)
but now he is doing GREAT!

The reward for everyone
after the 2nd day of lessons
and making improvements
was to go meet up with some friends
for a picnic & FUN IN THE SUN.
The park by our old house in
Riverdale just put in a splash pad
so we had to go check it out.
Unfortunately not long after we arrived
it stopped working. A HUGE disappointment
for us and the TONS of other people there,
trying to beat the heat.
But we had fun playing at the park anyway
and of course seeing old friends!






You can tell we haven't had too much
warm, sunny weather here.
Even these kids need a tan!
The stormy, cold weekend we have
ahead isn't going to help with that.
Maybe we will actually get to enjoy
SUMMER before the kids go back to school?!









7 months and counting...

Nalu continues to be the JOY of our family.
What would we ever do without him???
He loves to watch his CRAZY siblings and
interact with them. The boys are always fighting
over who gets to look at him, or hold him.
Needless to say he has NO lack of attention!
Despite getting an eye infection a few weeks ago,
then having the flu this past week,
he continues to be a happy boy!
What are you guys doing to me?
Probably what goes through this little guys
mind several times a day.
Whatever he may think, he is still soo easy going,
loveable, kissable and oh soo sweet.
We LOVE you soo much Nalu boy!!
