Alive and Doing Well

Here are some random shots nothing too exciting just wanted to show

"We are alive and doing well"And YES the house is a mess:)

Obviously I need to work on "How to use my new camera to get this shot readable"

Azure lost her bottom teeth

Azure, has lost her two bottom teeth. The second tooth she hid from the tooth fairy so she could take it to school to show her friends at school. the tooth fairy was perplexed the night before, searching for the tooth. Her toothless smile is super cute!

She has done well in learning how to read. She is proud to know how to use spell many words, one of her favorites she know is B_E_C_A_U_S_E. She loves to practice reading in the Book Of Mormon almost more then practicing her homework.

Azure, has started to try many new foods. she has made a game out of tasting new things. Her new favorites include pineapple juice, grapefruit, and green beans. we love this and are happy to see her getting the needed nutrition.

Corban will be five soon

Corban will be five soon on April 15th.

He is still our "frog" I made him a frog costume to replace this one but he still likes this one, it is a size 3. I hope someday i can find the perfect replacement for him. He has loved being in preschool this year. He has been a trouper to get up and get dressed and out the door each morning. He does not love to have his teeth brushed, we will keep working on this. He is my boy who loves his toys. he gets lost in his own little worlds of play and is often talking to his imaginary friends and playing for hours in his world. Azure and Corban are mostly inseparable. They are learning how to get along together, at times when they do fight, they know they need to say they are sorry to one another. I teach Corban to make sure Azure is "oK" past the sorry words. That we need her to smile, before we move on, I belive he does well with this teaching. I think it has something to do with Corban being a very emotional boy. His feelings are very deep and often his crying tangents go on for long bouts and he is sent to his room to continue his tears. When he cries it breaks my heart to hear him, I have to remind myself that he is not in pain physically and that his emotions need exercised so that he can grow and mature.

Year four has been great on to year five. . .YEAH!

Gwendolyn Delainey will be six Months on the sixth

GWENDOLYN Delainey

will be six months on April 6th I thought

I would share some photos taken in the last six months.

This cute girl was red from after bath-time. It does not get red like this anymore.

But I LOVE LOVE this silly face she makes.

Sleepy GWEn

Typical wide eyed Gwen DD

She almost looks like Azure, very grown up

Gwendolyn has changed our family dynamics. Azure and Corban are experiencing some draw back and some plus to number three. Overall, we LOVE having a girl, a boy, and a baby.

Gwendolyn is rolling from her tummy to her back. She can hold a toy firmly but drops it after short bits. We are looking forward to witness" crawling" to be on display in the next three months.

Gwen has shown to be a Mommy's Girl she prefers life by my side or in my arms or more than just with in her sight. I look forward to her world opening up when she learns to crawl.

Gwen DD loves food. we have started feeding her this past month. She can't seem to get enough. She opens her mouth with much anticipation at receiving a soupy rice and banana meal as often as she can.

Happy Six on the sixth Gwendolyn Delainey.

Elementary schools had good reviews

My good friend Stacey Johnson told me something that Confucius said, "Either your journey or your destinations is revealed but never both". Well moving to Hawaii is looking at my destination so in my Business. now to work on the journey I suppose.

I shared this with a few friends and family today it seemed to be true for each of us.

Oh and have you noticed something in the air, it could be spring but I think it is change for so many. I love change and I also think I may love my new haircut. Although I may go a bit shorter and a bit darker next time. WoW ! Have I mentioned lately I love life, especially when it's roll'en.

The Hawaii research we have done this week has been on the elementary schools. We found some good reports on the area we are focusing in on the city of Kaneohe and Kailua. Between these two is the hospital Dan hopes to get on at. Well if anyone has some updated information on the school system there let me know. I am planning on attending a Home School Expo next month to get some curriculum ideas not that I plan on Homeschooling but I wan tot make sure I am not completely in the dark if I need to. Although I will hope for safe school's in Hawaii and great education systems like Emillo Reggio programs that the kids have here. I think I spelled it right.

Oh life is speeding by. Everything in due time. I am getting excited about my business. I am busy writing my business plan,Ii need to get back to it. Oh, and I cut my hair, new for me.

We had a family Temple trip today brief but I will post pictures of the outing soon. Till then, aiming for Hawaii, building a business and Gwendolyn has started eating cereal yeah!!
