Meet the Parents. . . Adoption Style

Today we meet our new baby's birthmom. So exciting!

Baby Thomson

We found a baby! Well actually, he baby found us! Sometime around the middle to end of April, that's right... next month, our little family will grow from 2 to 3!

Hawaii Tsunami Warning

 

An 8.8 earthquake off Chile generated a tsunami headed for Hawaii.

This could have been us. . . 

but it wasn't.

This thing kept waking me up every hour.

And our day at the beach was canceled.

So we made it a day at the park instead.

Keep practicing Haley. You'll get it.

First taste of sugar.

This is our friends' adorable little boy. We went to his first birthday and got to see him take his first taste of sugar - birthday cake with chocolate frosting - yum, yum!

Curious.

He goes for his first bite.

I think he likes it.

Surprise Party!!! Zach's Big 3-0!

The Theme . . . "Old Western"

The Place . . . a "Movie Set"

The Director . . . Our Birthday Boy

SURPRISE!

These are our serious faces. We're pretending to be in jail.

Diamondhead Hike

This is at the base of the hike. You get a clear shot of Koko Head.

 

Oops! Lost my lens cap.

Great view from up top!

 

 

What a handsome man!

 

 

 

Creepy.

A typical Zach pose. Look at those Big STRONG muscles!

 

Golom.

Those cheeks are bite-able.

 

The lone palm.

Kauai, The Garden State

 

 

I love tropical flowers.

This is the beach just outside our room. Strong warning signs for such tiny waves.

 The pool at the condo we were staying in.

Chillin' before a long day of exploring the island.

This guy was not happy to see us.

 

I didn't expect to see so much open land on such a tiny island.

 

I guess you can never be too careful.

Cowabunga, DUDE! Haha, do people even say that these days?

  The view from the side of the road.

These falls were just off the main highway. I love the intense color of the dirt.

It's a good thing they had a sign. I was seriously considering sticking my head under that faucet and taking a swig. You should have seen the rest of the bathroom. Gross.

The little grand canyon. It's kind of hard to imagine that this is in the middle of such a small island. AMAZING!
