Music Fun

Here are some new pictures of the baby. A few are from her music class and the rest are from a few days ago. Lydia's Mimi and Papa are visiting so we are having fun and staying busy!

Lydia is now crawling, and trying very hard to stand on her own. It won't be long before she is walking. She make new sounds every day and is sill generally very happy.

We hope this finds you all happy and well.

Fairwinds II

Today was cousin Jan's 36th birthday, so we all took a little snorkeling trip on the Fairwind II(cousin Leah's boat). It was a blast! The weather was nice, water was warm and the food and drinks were delicious as usual. Lydia loves the water and unlike her Mom is not afraid of the sharks. I even managed my sea sickness without medication by a ton of ginger and pressure point bands! It was quite predictable though, as soon as I got over the idea that sharks were looming, I see a HUGE shark...well it was actually a barracuda, but it mattered not to me. My feet and arms were out of the water and I very quickly had cousin Jan pulls us to the boat. How nice of me to sacrifice the birthday girl! Sharks, barracuda they are all the same to me...teeth and nasty.

The funny part of the day was watching Marissa and Lydia. Marissa is just two and Lydia 8 months. Lydia has earned the nickname of Brutus the past few weeks, between eating your face, pinching, and the general crazy behavior it suits her well. I had no idea (well maybe a small one) that her cousin Marissa was one in the same...so between the pinching and biting of each others toes, they were hilarious and enjoyed their time together.

Happy Birthday Jan...we are so happy that your were born!

On a side note...here are a few friendly creatures we came home to last night. Centipedes are just one of the pleasant insects in Hawaii. Check out the size of their pincher's. I can personally attest to the fact that it does not feel good to be stung by one.

Blog Update

The blog should now have all of the posts and pictures that we had on our old blog....enjoy

8 months old

I can't believe it, Lydia will be 8 months old tomorrow morning (20th). Time flies by so fast. I feel like before I know it she will be off to school, then college and then well you know the rest. I still stare at her everyday and feel so fortunate that she chose me to be her mommy. I know that any day now she is just going to sit up and say thanks mom, and by the way I really dig you and all the playing that we do. Until then I guess I will just have to accept her sweet little pats as she is hugging me and the not so sweet pinches of the nose and lips as she is nursing!

On Friday morning, Lydia has her music class and then a play date at the park with cousin Jan, her two kids, and some other moms and keikis. Lydia loves other little ones. Today in her music class she very lovingly tried to pinch the face off of her little buddy Zean Paul. I can't say that he liked it too much, but she did. She laughed and squealed with delight as she tried to pinch him and eat his face. I was delighted!

Hope this finds you all healthy, happy and enjoying your fall weather!

Picture Update

Hi to all...too much has happened to begin to write about all of it so I decided to just post a bunch of photos from the last two months to catch everyone up on what's happening. These are pictures from our trip home and the last few months.
