Cute pictures

I just liked these pictures.... We are so blessed to have this little girl in our lives!

The WELCOME party

Well, they had a part of the Welcome party that involved the kids getting up and watching while a very scary local CHIEF danced and played drums really loudly. She had to say her name into a microphone in front of a really big crowd of people.... she did so well!! We were all quite impressed. I guess Hawaii just has that affect on people.... ( Ali, ALOHA!!! :)

Making Friends

Brianna proved to be a very social toddler. I would tell her to go over to the kids and say HI and she would just wiggle her way into playing with them! She met a very nice family of three girls ages 5, 8, and 10 who just adored her.... She played with them like 3-4 times. It was quite cute to see how outgoing she was!

Hawaii at last.....

Enjoying the surf and pool!

New addition!

Well, we now have a new addition to our family..... Her name is Easter. ( It was Esther, a horrible name, so we had to amend it!) She's an adorable 6 month old german shepard. Our other canine family members are getting a little older, especially Irish. I feel a little scared here when Rob isn't home so wanted a dog that was somewhat intimidating in look. I think that she will be perfect! She's very sweet and so far has been really a good girl. We took her on a walk and she was an angel, practically heeled on her own! So cool. But, she is a puppy... likes to chew. I hope we don't lose anything valuable in this puppy process. Anyways, just wanted to introduce her to everyone!
