Welcome to our life as we transition to a new chapter with our little girl. Ella continues to amaze us and we count our blessings every day! The future is unknown but we are excited about all its possibilities.
Where will we go?
Who knows, we're just enjoying the ride for now...
Tonight we went out to Chuck E Cheese for our friend, Lukas' 2nd birthday. We weren't quite sure how Ella would take the giant mascot but she had so much fun. She couldn't stop dancing and clapping and having fun. Ooh Disneyland is going to be sooooo much fun one day! How cute are these two!!! Ella and the birthday boy:
We have been drowning here with lots and lots of rain. Tuesday we had a storm blow through and knocked out power, downed trees and power lines, and wrecked havoc on the islands. The base was hit pretty bad and our power was out for almost 24 hours. The "pop" that woke me up at midnight which I thought was an outside light was actually a tree that had fallen on our playground out back. We're not sure when they will remove the tree or fix the playground as it's still wet, miserable and raining here. Ella's not too happy about not being allowed to play on "her" playground.

“The test of an adventure is that when you’re in the midst of it, you say to yourself, ‘Oh, now I’ve got myself into an awful mess; I wish I were sitting quietly at home.’
And the sign that something’s wrong is when you’re sitting quietly at home wishing you were out having lots of adventure.”
- Thorton Wilder -
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade wind in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover. "
- Mark Twain -
Hell is a world where you have no home. And even though I was in heaven something drew me back to my home.
I can’t put into words the things I've seen the places I’ve been or what it all means.
Because its not so much what you look at
But when you look, what you see
And I see that my eyes are the eyes of the world
and in my eyes
I AM.
