A little update and pictures

We're doing just fine around here!

I'm 36 weeks along and waiting for this little man to make his grand entrance anytime now! We had a false alarm last week, I went into pre-term labor and after a few hours in labor and delivery with very very very little progress, they put me on some good stuff and sent me home to rest, hoping the contractions would stop, but if they didn't I would be back. Cameron got the day off of work and I got the rest I needed and the contractions did stop. Haven't had any problems since.

Makoa is loving Kindergarten and already improving so much in his reading and writing and math! I hope he can keep up the enthusiasm for another 12 years... =)

Ka'imi is a ball of love and affection. It has been so fun for me to get to know him better now that Makoa is gone a few hours a day. Ka'imi has totally blossomed and is growing into a little man right before my eyes! He is constantly impressing me with the questions he asks! Currently, he loves to draw and read books. He is also learning to write his name and the other letters of the alphabet.

Ikaika thinks he's one of the big kids. He has been so easy so far and is only recently starting to give me a run for my money because he always wants to be doing what his big brothers are doing which is usually just fine... but he not quite able to keep up which frustrates him. He has been doing some signs ("more", "milk", "please") and starting to say words like "ball" and "baby". Mostly he just makes noises that sounds like he;s trying to say something because of the way he does it. =)

Here are a bunch of misc pictures from September...
