Mana's new earrings

Mana got her ears pierced today! She stopped sucking her thumb a week and a half ago. It was amazing. She was so brave, she didn't even flinch. She got amethyst earrings - her birthstone.

Bye Bye Uncle

The Goose waves bye to Uncle Kawika as he moves all his stuff out of our condo and into his new apt just 0.5 miles away. Surely we'll see him soon...

Kawai knows her mom

Here's a mother's day card she made at church for me. Gotta love it. She even knows my favorite Thai food dish.

Biker chick!

Yesterday Kawai was begging me to take her out on her bike. She has never really tried her bike without training wheels yet. I've never really had time to help her anyway. But last year we bought Mana a Skuut bike for her 2nd bday. It was too big for her, but Kawai caught on to it and for the last year has really learned to balance on it (it's a balance bike - no pedals). So I knew it was just a matter of actually getting Kawai on her bike with no training wheels and she could do it. Well yesterday was that day. I told her to pretend the bike was her Skuut bike, and just start pushing it along with her feet. And as she did, she started trying to get her feet on the pedals, and within 2 minutes, was biking! I never even had to hold on to the back of the bike.

Thanks Dave for the photo

Terrace Hill at Sunset

Our ninja girls with walking sticks and they had to match, from the shirts Auntie Carolyn sent, to the pink crocs.

This is the first photo I've seen of all 5 of us in a while...

Well after our little trip to Berkeley, and missing the fun of taking an evening trip to Indian Rock, we decided we'd at least do Terrace Hill, mostly to get the kids out of the house on a lazy evening. We do have some great views here in SLO, don't we?
