Back to Work

Aloha!

Summer was fun but now it is time to go back to work. Tomorrow (6-24) Cory begins work at Kapolei Middle School as their mathematics coach/mentor; a big but exciting change for many reasons. This also means that after having Cory home for three months Amanda has two boys to contend with each day! A job she loves (and excels at) but none the less can be extremely tiresome to say the least.

With Cory's work beginning at the end of June, this has been a shorter than normal summer. However, we have had some fun--plenty of trips to the beach, parties with friends, a fabulous Father's Day outing, and even a "jungle adventure hike" in Waimea Valley. Enjoy the photos below!

Summer Has Arrived

Aloha to you all!

It has been another whirlwind of a month (May) and even though summer is essentially here, it looks like June is going to be just as busy. So enjoy the pictures from the last month; it is amazing to see how much Kian is changing in such a short time.

This is the latest picture of Kian, taken about two days ago; we love it!

Sweet boys...they look so much alike when we compare baby pictures.

A "Leif and Daddy Day" at Waikiki...I love these moments

Full of smiles and personality

The same goes for the older one with his "Manah Manah" hair

We don't get rain often in Ewa so when we do Leif loves to play in it

There is always a project to be done. Leif with his "Rodney" the robot costume project.

What a sweet voice; Kian learning to coo.

We hope you all have a great summer and perhaps we will be lucky enough to see some of you soon. Until then...

Aloha
