Morning

It's a cool rainy morning here in Keaau. The cats were lounging about, kids still asleep. The sound of the rain was just the right soundtrack for mornings like this.

Finished check up with Dr. D. Bp still high. Exam went well. Got new med. Waiting for test results.

Babies Girls Everywhere!!!

In the last 24 hours I've heard from 2 seperate friends who have expanded their families recenlty. Ernest and Nalani P. welcomed a baby girl on Friday - her name is Aleah Lynn (not sure on the spelling). I met Ernest and his wife thru Jay, a much-loved and former neighbor. Ernest comes to cut my grass sometimes.
And the second family in the works is Yvette and Kimo K. Yvette was Reece's preschool teacher at Ala Lani Preschool on Maui. Yvette has since become a family friend who often stopped by our house after her afternoon walks. They are waiting to complete the adopting of their beautiful daughter from Taiwan. She is 16-months old and her name is Shu-Jhen. I've seen pictures of her and she's a cutie.

Becoming a Mom was a great gift. And hearing my kids call me "Mom" is a blessing. It's not where or how your child was born that matters, it's the love you and your family have that counts. And I know that both familes have the love and support of family and friends to guide them through parenthood.

Cheers to the new parents!!

Finished another book this weekend.
Chicken Soup for the Coffee Lovers Soul by Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and Theresa Peluso.

Great stories. Quick read.

I miss having coffee with Roy in the mornings.

Facebook and Fireworks

So.. I've set up a facebook account. Now what? Idk.

It's been an interesting weekend so far. Saturday night, the girls burned some morning glory sparklers, while I watched Aloha Kuwait 09 on OC16. It was nice to watch and helped give us a view of where Roy is. The girls were more interested in celebrating the Fourth with sparklers.

The people next door were there and made it a bit un-comfortable. But that didnt stop the celebrating.

This week is the last week I'll work as an EA at summer school. It's been interesting. Don't wanna do that again.

Happy be-lated 4th to everyone. Remember... Freedom isn't Free. Support the troops!

Heart Shaped

I took this picture to show what happened after I poked my finger-tip. The result was is this heart-shape made from the blood drop.

Interesting yea??

My how the kids out grow their clothes! Good thing it's almost time for back to school shopping.
