A Wolfepack Reunion, Part 1

This past Thursday, we just said goodbye to Suzanna and Ruby, my sister-in-law
and niece.  Mike's brother and his family came out on August 1st to spend some time with us exploring beautiful Hawaii!  We had lots of fun adventures while they were here.  Mike even took the week off of work while his brother was here to enjoy time together as a family.  After the first week, Jeff had to fly back to Indiana and Mike had to go back to work.  The girls' adventures, however, continued. Here are some photos to enjoy of our first week together.  I hope Ruby remember's this trip.  Maybe these pictures will help!  More to come...

Week 1 - Adventures with the whole family!

Back to School

Teachers report back to school today.  What happened to my summer?!  It ended all too quickly.  I'm excited in a way to get back to school and fall back into a routine, but the other part of me would rather lounge like I've been doing.  The great thing about my school is the people.  I look forward to getting back in touch with my co-workers.

I went on three hikes this past week:  Hamama Falls in Kaneohe, Pillboxes in Lanikai, and the Tom Tom Trail by Makapu'u.  Each hike was beautiful, and I had wonderful company.  Here are the Makapu'u pics:

Thankful Thursday

Today, I'm thankful for:

  • modern medicine that's making my itch go away... slowly
  • Kim and Brooke and the fact that our husbands encourage us to have girls' night out
  • family that I was able to talk to and catch up with this week
  • Robbie and Raquel and their super FUN children
  • the beauty of Hamama Falls!

Here are some snapshots of the hike with all six keiki...
