June

Nothing new happening here-too busy with the kids. . . all is well though. Enjoying the Fijian branch (church) we had a bbq on memorial day which was fun and Saki danced at another Luau. . . will be getting our disposible camera's developed this week so we can have some photos!

Family

We got to see Thomas and his wife Lisa and Lisa's family this Saturday. It was her sister Morgan's high school graduation so Thomas and Lisa had come to visit. It was nice to see where Lisa grew up and to get out of the city and see some of my family! We'll post some photos as soon as Thomas emails them-HINT HINT... Sorry to be short on posts and emails-been busy as ever, but I figure short's better than nothing :) Hope all of you are doing well, Stallings, Herbts, Kurusingas, Paces, Toras, Zwhalen's, Hoffmans, Collettes, Morgans, Foggs and many others-I wish I had more time to look at blogs. My kids are keeping me soo busy, especially living in a smaller place now we try to get two walks/parks in a day. Anyone who has advice on dealing with a 2 year olds meltdowns without loosing your temper would be appreciated! Time out is hard since Mere flails a lot and no longer has her room she can go to to cool down...

Hello!

We are settling in well with Saki's parents and enjoying the green foliage after soo many years in CA and UT desert. There are some nice parks here and even just going for walks with Mere is fun-looking at all the neat houses or little stores on main street. I think of you Camille-all the architecture. Saki got to dance again to at a church Luau and another one in a couple weeks, so it's nice he gets to use his talents in dancing again :) Still job hunting...

10 months

Glenn is now ten months old! He has 6 teeth with 8 coming in and at his Dr visit we found he is 21 lbs and 14 oz and 23 inches tall, if I remember right. He has become a little more clingy over the last month or two, tending to cry if someone is holding him besides me or Saki and wanting to be held more often than before. He is very active and enjoys pulling up on everything and can now climb up onto Mere's toddler bed. He loves the cat and he and Mere interact a lot more now. Mere talks nicely to him, and played peek-a-boo in the car with him yesterday and today, though she does still yell at him to be quiet, sometimes she will say "Glenn calm down." She is good at sharing toys and food, and after a short phase of "that's mine" really shares everything with him or us. She seems to have matured a lot in the past couple of weeks. Happy Mother's Day everyone!
