Meeting Amelia!

We got to meet the girls' cousin Amelia in Honolulu. She is two months older than Juliana. They had fun playing together! And we got to visit with Aunties Katie and Mary too.



We took the babies to Kaimana beach.




Amelia borrowed Juliana's sunglasses...


"...please Mom, don't ever do this to me!"


Nea's trip to Volcano almost by herself

Linnea flew to the Big Island to see Pippi and Ru without her parents, or, as she called it, "all by myself". We pointed out that Pippi was going to fly with her, so she amended it to "almost by myself". She was a very brave girl, and she had a blast! Here they are going ohelo berry picking in the rain.


Making sand cookies at the beach.


And riding her Terrible Turtle in the lagoon.


Playing croquet with Pippi on the lawn.


And goofing around with Ru.


Getting a wheelbarrow ride down Ala Ohia! No wonder she can't wait to go back...


Mom and Juliana back in Honolulu.

Hawaii in April

Here's a brief photo catch up. In April we went to Hawaii. Maren and Juliana stayed in Honolulu with Ani and Linnea split her time between there and the Big Island with her grandparents.



Poor Ani wanted to snuggle with Juliana, but Juliana was going through some major stranger anxiety, and howled whenever anyone but Mom held her.

Enjoying the Kahala Nui hot tub.

Dinner on Ani's lanai.

More March Madness

Baby attack!








Snuggling in her blanket that Pippi made.


And enjoying some cookies from Granda MJ!


Linnea's littlest fan.


Juliana tried solids...


...but couldn't quite get her tongue thrust reflex under control. We'll try again when she's bigger!
