the MOTHERLOAD post

yes yes, i know. i've slacked a TON on posting pics of my precious progeny. but this is my attempt at making up for it.

ready ... GO!

last week case went to maui for work. yes, last week. the week i was in my sickly-ness bed with bronchitis. he left wednesday morning at 3 (yes, morning at 3 ... crazy craziness), and came home friday night at 10. then he slept all weekend. there were a few things (read: people) that really got me through the week: matti, melissa, the thomanders were there at the home stretch, my aloha friday not-always-the-beach day womens, and i'm sure a plethora of others that i'm failing to mention so i request that they choose to not hate me for lack of mention. thanks. 

in no particular order, and for your viewing pleasure, i give you

pictures of people doing things:

hau'ula park with the thomander fam

(pronounced commander with a TOE in the front)

addi basically pushed a stroller the whole time ...seriously, the WHOLE time.

onto other events:

melissa c. watched my add for SEVERAL hours, 

so gwen and i jammed

and played under the sink ...and did i mention that i got a hair cut? 

well, i did. and i LOVE it!

malik and echo had birthdays ... YAY!

malik is 3.

echo's bday is feb. 29th. she's 6 1/4.

addi is cute ...

and has recently taken up dish-washing.

gwen on the other hand has taken up dish-dismantling and stacking.

and in other news, this woman is visiting

and that's pretty exciting!!

and now we're caught up.

oh and did i mention that target finally came to hawaii?? yah, it did. TIMES 2! that's right, why have one when you can have two for twice the price?!?! there's one in salt lake (oahu, HI; not utah. though i'm sure SLC, UT, does in fact have a target.) and one in kapolei. 

oh glory glory! 

life doesn't get much better than 

reasonably-priced, mass-produced 

apparel and home furnishings...

but really, it doesn't.
