Veda Bella gets pierced

Veda finally braved up and decided to get her ears pierced. The deal was that she would have to be the one to clean and take care of them. She came through and has done a great job! No infections.

First day of 3rd and 1st grade

The girls started this school year at a new school. It's a private school a little further away from home, but it is a great place for them to be and we are really happy there so far. They have made friends quickly and love all the extra enrichment time spent in art, music, PE, and science.

We are expecting a little Parker number 3 in March. This is a short video of our first listen of the heartbeat. I know it's in there, I've seen an ultrasound, but actually hearing that little heart pounding away was a thrill beyond words.

My first attempt at Spam musubi. Next time I won't burn the Spam. Not bad for a haole though!

This is her baby that she carries around with her everywhere and buries in blankets. Most of her toys she will thrash and "play with". Not this one. This one is her baby.
