What a Beautiful Family!
Stace and I went to the Marine Corps Ball, and Kai stayed with Aunty Rox and Uncle Shane. Shane has a relatively new camera, is REALLY GOOD at capturing awesome images, and was kind enough to come document the fact that Stace and I know how to dress up. He is quite the photog, no? [...]

Kaile Goes to Flat Island
Here is another little video featuring Kaile. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, when she’s in a good mood, we paddle the Pueo. We usually paddle on Kaelepulu Canal, but when the weather is good, we go out in Kailua Bay. This was Tuesday, 3 Feb, and the weather was awesome. She paddled the canoe all the [...]
