KENNEDY IN CHINA

Almost a year ago we were in China to adopt Kau`i. On Gotcha Day, her best friend Nui Nui was with her. They cried parting. It was very sad! But with God's help, we found Kennedy (left) a beautiful family. They are in China right now preparing to bring their forever daughter home to America!!!! But this is not all. Zhang BingYing, the beautiful girl on the right, will be our forever daughter #4. We were pre-approved and are doing the necessary paperwork to bring her home ASAP!

FUN DECORATING THE XMAS TREE

If I had my way, one of our three Christmas trees would have been decorated way before Thanksgiving. I think Kau`i is going to follow suit. She has been reminding her dad to "put the tree up." Kau`i has been so excited about her first Christmas in Hawaii. Yes, she knows about all the presents under the tree and so forth, but, most importantly, she knows about the birth of Jesus Christ. Zoey, our future granddaughter, shared in the fun by having a Santa's hat placed on Marie's stomach.

WISH I HAD INVENTED SILLY BANDS

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

What a fantastic day! My hubby Dale worked really hard roasting two huge prime ribs. He had both ovens going. Salmon was also delicious with Caesar salad, side dishes and deserts too many to mention. Top it off with beautiful blue skies and 80 degree Hawaiian weather. Maui No Ka Oi!

OUR HANDSOME GRANDSON RY

SOCCER IS OVER FOR NOW

No picture of Maile's last game however she loved playing soccer. She was on a great team with a lot of positive praises. Kau`i spent the day with her brother Shea and wife Marie. She loved going Upcountry to feed the goats. Pose for the camera!

MAILE THEN AND NOW

Maile is 7 years old today! We've had her since she was 15 months old. What a cutie pie.

BIG SIS HELPS LITTLE SIS

HALLOWEEN

Had to add this picture of Makena in the blog. She fell asleep while trying to read the dictionary!



Our family is not really "big" on Halloween but the girls did go out with their big sis, big brother and their significant others while Dale and I had a much needed "date night" at Tommy Bahamas for dinner.
