Shop 'til You Plop

  • We put Aolani on the grass for the first time last week, and she was scared of it. She would not move or crawl on it for days, but she would pluck and eat it!
  • When cousin Kylie stopped by last week, she would run up the ramp waving and repeating, "Hey, Lani!" So adorable! They hugged and squeezed each other for the first time, too!

  • Aolani's favorite food = prunes ;) She loved strawberries until this weekend; she has boycotted them.

  • We signed a one-year lease for a 2-bed/2-bath condo last week. We move in this weekend and have way too much to do. We drove to an IKEA in Charlotte over the weekend to get our list of home furnishings still needed. We had never been to one before, and it took hours just for the shock to wear off ;) IKEA is my new favorite store, and Ricky even enjoyed it a lot. He said it felt like an amusement park. We thought we could complete our shopping in one day, but it took two! Our van is packed to the hilt from floor to ceiling. Aolani was so adaptable and good-natured despite missing so much sleep. Here is the trooper in a baby-restraint in the baby-care restroom.
  • Although Aolani can walk holding a hand for help, she still walks around one her knees!
  • I did not get last week's verse down pat, so here it is again: Luke 12:4-5 ~ “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him."
