Brock's Latest Antics


Brock is really coming into his own lately! He loves Indie's flower barrettes and thinks he should get to wear them too! (Maybe I should be worried?) He takes them right out of her hair and tries with all his might to put them in his hair, he has not been successful yet, thank goodness.

He also LOVES to give hugs and kisses, especially to Indie. So much so, that he often knocks her right down. She thinks this is hilarious, so far. On Sunday, he started to give all the girls in nursery hugs, some liked it and some did not. He got plenty of pushes, but kept at it. I guess we need to teach him to "play hard to get."

They really love each other...I wonder when it will all change?

Kauai, Hawaii 2009

The Downsides to Kauai 2009

Two trips to the doctors office for croup and ear infections.
Plenty of blood, raspberries and tears from constant falling and tripping.
Two 18 month old toddlers running opposite directions in the airport, at the beach and everywhere else.
Waking up at 2:30am Hawaii time, only for a few days!

The Upsides to Kauai 2009

The beach.
The weather.
The North Shore of Kauai.
Being all together as a family for a whole week!
Plenty of chickens and roosters to chase (DoDos according to the kids).
Loves donuts for everyone but me!
Pineapple and a lot of fruit.
Macadamia nuts.
A Marvelous Gluten Free Bakery with the best muffins and cookies I have had since being diagnosed with Celiac Sprue.
The kids did awesome on both flights, despite delays and being sick.

Overall the trip was really fun and really hard, not a real vacation but a real family trip. The kids loved being there and so did we, it is my favorite place to go! But I do have to say that our next trip just might be without the kids!
