Pearl Harbor

We headed out to Pearl harbor and the Arizona Memorial today. It is very beautiful and very peaceful.

More Girlfriends

With Erin's visit and now Christin, I don't have much time to actually post about our days. I'd much rather be doing stuff than writing about it and with all the photos you all get the gist of our days. We spent the day at Ko Olina today... beautiful!

Aloha Auntie

We are sad today. We took Erin to the airport this morning. It was a great couple of weeks visiting with Auntie, lots of beaches, shopping and sun tanning. I did however buy myself a shiny new laptop today that so far surpasses my old one, I don't know what to do with myself!
Here are some more pics Erin took. Tomorrow Auntie Christin comes for a couple of weeks and then we move into our new house. It's proving to be a very busy month! Have a safe trip home, we miss you already!

Dancing!

Ella slept over at our friend's house last night so the adults could go dancing. How much fun was that! It's been years (and I mean years!) since we've been out dancing and with Erin in town, how could we pass up a night out. Fun fun.

Family Pictures

Fun in the Sun

This is what you get when your friend is a professional photographer.... these pics are stunning! We are so lucky that Erin doesn't mind taking Ella's photo a hundred thousand times! Here are some pics from the last few days...

Bubbles and Bath

Potty Success!

Ella peed in her potty this afternoon! We are so excited for her. Ron's golfing so Erin and I went to Toys R' Us for a little shopping after a long day and night of umbrella drinks yesterday. We just got home and I stuck Ella on her potty and within a few minutes she was peeing. She looked shocked and frightened at first and stopped herself, but of course I was clapping and singing "Yeah, Ella" so she finished peeing and had the biggest and proudest smile on her face. Whoo-hoo, our first potty success.

Well, an update from yesterday... our babysitter never got back to us so we took Ella to dinner with the group (our friends brought their little boy, Lucas, so there were two toddlers there). So much for date night. Luckily, Ella slept through her nap until 6pm so she was a peach for the whole night. We did have a message from the babysitter when we got home, a family emergency is sending her back stateside, so Ron will get the details on Monday (she's a co-worker). After all the fun umbrella drinks at the pool, the margaritas before dinner, and drinks at the restaurant, I was definitely in need of an earlier night anyway. I think a night out would have been the end of me. :) Ella and Erin are napping... I think that sounds like a good idea before dinner.
