Maecy's first haircut (August 2010)

In dire need of a haircut? Nah!

First snip.

She's thinking, "Not too much off the length!"

She's a trooper.

Yay! All done-- and it wasn't so bad after all.

Maecy wanted in on the act!

At one and a half it's clear that the backpack is still a little too heavy, and the shoes too big. That did little to deter her efforts!

Ethan's first day of high school- August 2010

As you can see, Ethan was very happy that I insisted on keeping up the tradition of taking photos of the kids on their first day of school. He drew the line, however, at me making him pose in front of the Riverglen sign!

First day of school- August 2010

This year Piper started all-day Kindergarten. She was so excited to start and even more excited once she found a couple of her friends from preschool in her class. Isaac was a very helpful big brother who showed her the ropes.

Finally- a return to blogging

After months and months of being blocked from my ability to add to our blog, it only took crashing my computer to somehow reacquire the access to do so. That means I will now spend the evening updating our blog with photos and harkening back into my memory to see if I can adequately describe what was happening in the photos! Hope you enjoy. It's good to be back.

Basking in the glory of the Lagoon

Kayaking in Kailua

Tejon and I braved the ocean for some (TOUGH!) kayaking, while James and Maecy watched from the beach. While Maecy was eating sand, Tejon was eating the ocean-- then kindly pushed me over too!
