Highs and Lows

Stephanie, Matthew & Oscar arrived without incident and we are so happy to have them here. Oscar, as everyone raved, is as cute as ever!! Ella isn't so sure about him. She likes babies, but apparently only ones who are too young to use her toys. Oscar may be "overstepping" his boundaries and *gasp* using her things. LOL :) Let the sharing lessons begin!

The weather was beautiful yesterday so we headed to Ko Olina with the babies. It was a nice day and if you read Stephanie's blog, you'll get Oscar's prospective on the whole beach thing. Ella of course loved it! Here's some pics.

Our day started off on a high note with great friends and a beach. At dinner, Ella fell off the back of the couch onto the floor with a giant thud. Of course hysteria broke out, do I take her to the ER??? When she calmed down, it didn't seem to be much damage so we let her be. By bedtime she was hysterical and wouldn't go to sleep. So not like her, so we took her to the ER in Pearl Harbor. After a long wait, we realized that perhaps this isn't anything to do with her fall, but Ella seems to have her first, real, full-blown cold. Her nose is so congested and she miserable. I was up most of the night with her, on and off. She only fell asleep when she was laying on me. It made for a long night, but now that we figured out what her problem was, I felt much better. Just building up some more anti-bodies, but ewwww, the runny nose - yuck!
