Posting

I'm having a rough time coming up with anything clever and I'd like to add a now-a-days in there but I'm not sure I ever really do come up with anything clever. I enjoy reading many a blog and wish I could take an ordinary experience and turn it into a masterpiece. That's just not the way I am. I could probably talk your ear off, but in writing...not so much. So here's what we've been up to lately:My aunt flew out here and stayed over on her way to Samoa, however she missed her flight out on Thursday and flights are only on Thursdays and Sundays. The plan was that she would fly out there with her friends on Thursday and my uncle and a cousin would fly out here on Saturday, then fly to Samoa to join her on Sunday. Since she missed her Thursday flight, she stayed around here and planned to fly out with my uncle and cousin. So we went to Waimea (said Why-may-uh) Falls which, as you can tell from the picture of Miss Fabulous and I, was flowing quite nicely. It was too cold to swim, although several people did. We were shivering in our shorts...we are going to die of cold when we move from here! We also went out to lunch and then hit the outlet mall to see if we could find some really cheap capris for my aunt.

The next day, John called from work and asked if I would be mad if he traded his car for a surf board. I was feeling generous and said I didn't care what he did with his car since he rarely uses it anyway. He came home and sold his car that evening and bought the board the next day.
I do have to say, the board is nice...but I sorta feel like he almost gave away his car since he only sold it for the amount of the board. What's done is done and he has already taken the board out and loves it. I'm thinking I may have just lost my husband to yet another thing.

You will never lose your husband because he loves you very much. He thinks about you all time, like when he thinks about coming in and going home instead of the wave or when he thinks about finishing his round of golf a little quicker. He always wants to get home to his wonderful wife and daughter. He will neve leave you.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
