A hui hou kakou

For the remainder of my parents visit, we laid low around the house. We will be moving in about 6 weeks and have a lot of organizing/sorting to do, so on Sunday, my parents watched the boys while Nathan and I worked in the garage. They had a fun time at the park and McDonalds, and I was glad for the day they got to spend together. This is the in-progress shot. Nathan is a super organizer, and I think the garage looks so good after we were done that I kind of want to hang out in there every time I go inside!

In the boxes, we found the bumbo seat. Someone is happy about his new chair:)

Caleb likes to walk around and smell pick the flowers.

My mom and I (early) celebrated our 100th birthday while they were here. Not many people can say they lived to be 100, so I count us as lucky when they day arrives:). We orginally were planning to spend our birthdays together, but my parents are moving to Hawaii on April 30th!! And it would have been cutting it very close. We had a nice afternoon, and went to get manicure and pedicures, then vietnamese food for dinner. It was nice to spend time with just the two of us, something we do not do often.

On Sunday evening, we all went to dinner to celebrate everything. My mom's retirement, their move to Hawaii, our move to the Middle East, and our 100th birthday. We went to PF Changs and sat outside since it was such a nice evening.  

Caleb chowed down on chicken lo mein and sat so nicely while we ate our meal...thank you Mickey Mouse Clubhouse:).

I still think Ben favors Nathan, what do you think? At least this son will resemble me:).

Grandpa and Grandma with the boys

Grandma woke up with Caleb everyday, and she had fun with her morning buddy. I know she misses waking up with him in the morning, but I don't think she misses waking up early or setting alarm clocks, after all these years!



They couldn't get enough of this happy little boy!

Goodbyes have never been easy for me, and I usually don't have the right words to say. I love my parents so much, they are very special to me and our family. We are excited about the adventures ahead for them, retirement, and living their dream of moving to Hawaii. They will visit us sometime next year, and it will be another new adventure. As they say in Hawaiian, a hui hou kakou - until next time!

We love you, dad and mom R!
