Drag Racing Up The Kona Coast

Bubbe won.....













Yesterday was Sheila's 60th Birthday Party Festival Celebration and it was fabulous. We had a hawaiian party at our villa so those of us with babies didn't have to deal with the stress of being in a restaurant.















Taeya is completely enamored by her cousin, frantically signing "baby" over and over and over and over again every time she lays eyes on her. It's crazy to think that soon we won't notice any age difference at all but for the moment, Sofia is definitely the baby to Taeya's burgeoning toddlerhood.






As wonderful as Hawaii is, it's hard to keep my head and heart here. Instead I find myself wandering up to Canada and trying not to worry - which means I worry and then chastise myself for worrying. I also think a lot about my friend who is about to have her baby. I am so excited for her and this new life that's arriving. It's such a balance - life. I try to find as much gratitude in the exiting as the entering...gratitude because I want to focus on how grateful I am to have been blessed with this person in my life. But it's hard to remember any of it in the face of such consuming sadness.


Hmmm...I'm supposed to be uplifting and distracting so, the good news is that my daughter is an accessorizing princess: (although I'm the one carrying the bag so maybe I'm the princess?)








Also, my husband has been so great and wonderful and supportive and I just felt it needed to be said.







Oh, and last but not least, the wheelchair ramp that the Four Seasons built for us (in a day!)

Anyway, I'll try to post once more before we leave. Aloha ~
