I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN

The lone star over the moon and the moon's reflection over the Pacific Ocean. Taken at 6:10 a.m. this morning. Girls awed at God's creation!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAILE

Marie, daughter Zoey, and Madilyn

Makena can't wait for her birthday!

It's hard to believe she has been with us since she was 15 months old! Happy 9th Birthday, Maile.

HALLOWEEN

MAILE

CHILDREN VISITING AROUND KIHEI

MADI AND ZOEY

13 YEARS OLD... ALREADY!

The most all-around girl I have ever known.

Kau`i crying after a very emotional birthday card from Kai.

I share this special day with Kau`i.

Our family minus our daugher Desiree (taking pic).

FAMILY

Yes, we should pause to take more family pictures while the girls are still living at home. While looking back at old pictures, the girls mentioned that time is  going by so fast.  They're right! We've been blessed with our girls. They are growing and maturing into beautiful girls inside and out. They are hardworking, respectful and thankful.

WE ARE STILL HERE

Just busy, busy, busy doing homework after school and on weekends. The girls continue to take piano and voice lessons and are very good at it.

Our tennis court (in the background) is taking a little bit of time. I personally didn't think it would be that hard to build. Little did I know there's so many things that have to go underground before the asphalt can be applied. The big day could very well be October 24 when all is done! Well not all. There's still the sprinker systems, landscaping, tearing down and putting up fences, and a whole lot of grass.

LOUD

Band is taken seriously at Doris Todd Christian Academy. Every student from the sixth grade and on take band class. Kau`i and Kailani choose to play saxaphone (so far). As you well know it's loud and we'll have to make this a weekend practice session for now!

Last night was "Meet the Teacher" night at school. In the sixth grade class, parents were instructed on how homework should be turned in for math. Dale was one proud father because the teacher held up Kailani's homework papers and said "This is an example of how I want your children to turn in their work." That's our girl!
