This past week

We have been really busy this week! I got a call from my friend, Heather, asking if I could take one of her children for a few days so she could go on a much needed retreat. She has four little ones and her husband is deployed so I told her I would take baby M. Miss Fabulous was so happy to have the baby come stay with us and I was a little curious as to how she will be with a new baby around.
Wednesday morning, after my ultrasound (everything's still good!), I picked up Baby M and all the stuff needed for her for 2 days. Things went pretty well. I'm definitely in for a bit of a shock when this new baby comes. I haven't had a baby around in so long and I found that I have a LOT of shopping to do since I have sold or given away the majority of our baby things. At least I still have 6 months to do all that so I can spread it out!

So early Friday morning I picked up my aunt, uncle, and cousin from the airport. They were returning from Samoa and said they had a really great time there. We thought we'd do a few things since they were staying for a day or two so we walked around the International Marketplace down in Waikiki and ate some really yummy Korean food and then headed to the Ward Center for some Cold Stone (thanks Uncle John!). We headed home to meet up with John, who had been working...yes, he occationally does that...and change into our suits to go boogie boarding! It was cold but lots of fun!


Oh...and to all you friends and family who are planning on visiting...we have only about 15 months left here so make your plans now! We have room so come visit!

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...
