Our Little Pumpkin

Aloha,
I have posted some photos of Lydia on Halloween in her music class.... Dave's Parents have been here for the last three weeks and we have had a great time...In just the last two weeks, Lydia has started to play peek-a-boo with her blanket, patti cake, clap, stand on her own (sorta)and yes we have made the move to the crib (however the crib is in our room). I amazes me how fast she is growing. She can point to the baby in pictures and loves to yammer away. Dave's dad helped Dave get our landscaping in along with many other things and they rented a Bob cat for a few days, so we couldn't resist getting Lydia's picture in it!. Hope this finds you all well!

Harvest in Hawaii

Here are some pictures from our trip to Waimea, a little town north of us. It has a pumpkin patch festival at the private boarding school every year. It is one of the coolest places to go, so we pretend that it is Harvest and dress warm...then sweat or bums off!!

Lydia had a ball...all the games, kids, pumpkins, trains, you name it they had it!

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.

Aloha

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
