Getting Ready for Outside

 

While Brent was busy trying to put his shoes on, Clara grabbed his red "dragon" and seemed very happy with her sneaky work.

 

 

Bird Songs

Clara loves to snuggle with these birds as they each make their distinctive calls/tweets. She wants me to keep pressing them to make them continue their bird songs.

Ring Around the Rosie

Little Leilani...Going to be 1 soon!

 

 

 

Daddy is home!

Everyone was so happy to be together again! Clara was happy to show off her new skill to Daddy too - climbing up onto the couches like a big girl. ;-)

 

 

Remembering Hawaii

Lucas was able to hit some of our old favorite spots on Oahu again. And he had a pretty sweet ride (rental) those 2 weeks too. He said his final "aloha"/goodbye to the islands as his work responsibilites and our time there as a family are now officially done.

 

 

 

 

 

Lucas Diving

Lucas had to go back out to Hawaii for a couple weeks for work. While he was there he tried to enjoy some ocean activities, namely SCUBA. He took the "advanced diver" course and went down to 95 ft deep where he saw a sunken ship. So cool. And while he was down there a submarine drove by!

 

 

 

 

 

Auntie Sara with the Kids

 

Little Clara and Auntie Sara...both 3rd-borns. They have a sweet bond. Amber and Brent were saying "family!" in this picture below. ;-) We were sad to see Sara go, but we know the next visit won't be too far away now that we all are living on the East coast.

Auntie Sara

It was so nice to have Auntie Sara up for the weekend! We had good "sister time," and she helped me with some decorating, and the kids loved all her love and attention.

More Spring Day Fun at the Park

 

Auntie Sara came for the weekend. It was great to have her visit! (More pics to come of her). But she captured these moments for us at the park. ;-)

Chasing Each Other

Clara and Amber like to chase each other around and under the kitchen table. They make each other laugh a lot in the process too. ;-)

More Leggo Work

 

 

Fun with Erika

Clara is learning about dress-up. ;-)

A nice spring day at the park together.

Auntie Erika Visits

"Auntie" Erika came to visit for the weekend. It was WONDERFUL to spend time with her! Amber is holding the Lady and the Tramp book, and Clara is wearing the Lady t-shirt that Erika's brother Jacob (and mom Deb) mailed to the kids for Valentine's Day.
