Were in

Yeah, I m so excited to be moving back to Gainesville, Florida next year as Jay will begin a 3 year surgery residency. Woo hooo!!!!Hawaii will be missed. At least we will still have the warmth:)
We have been able to skype a little bit with dad, but frequently get disconnected. Anything is better than nothing. He mentioned the weather has not been great so that doesn't help with the connection. He seems to be keeping busy and is still somewhere sailing the ocean.
The girls, grandma and I try to keep busy. We had church this morning along with some mall play time and not to mention the pretzel snacks. We didn't get home til after 2 which really throws off the nap schedule. So they had none. Neither did mom.
Yesterday attempted the swap meet. Not a great idea considering the heat was unbearable for all. The rest of our fun this week consisted of grocery shopping, gymnastics, making cookies and playing at the pool.

Rock Climbing?

Jays Suite

Sailing, Sailing

This morning grandma and I took the girls to the Pearl Ridge Mall for the oogles and googles keiki show. They sang all about the 5 senses. The girls didn't much participate though maybe next time. We did get to ride the monorail downtown and enjoyed some dippin dots ice cream. MESSY!!!! They are setting up a very cool insect/bug exhibit with a train and the girls can't wait for it to be completed. Pizza hut and taco bell were on the lunch menu. Olivia was so tired she tried to fall asleep on the bench. Kira made it until she got buckled in the car. Up to bed when we got home but unfortunately Olivia would not take a nap. She woke Kira up by 3 and ended up going to the playground til 5:30. They found avocados and had fun rolling them up the slide like ski ball. I missed dads call unfortunately he'd messaged leave were getting ready to leave port. After getting the girls dinner, bath and bed at 8:30 Jay was able to skype me from the boat. They were sailing and out to sea. It was short, but glad we got to talk. He hopes to call in the morning and skype the girls.
We are looking forward to the board results in the morning so keep your fingers crossed.....:)

In Guam

Daddy made it to Guam safely. He called this morning around 7am and we skyped him for about 15minutes. Its about a 28 hr time change 1 day ahead of us. The boat will leave Guam Thursday for the mission. I am not sure when we will be able to talk after that. He will share a room with one other guy and they have a cot and a bed in a small room. Hopefully he will be able to send pictures.
Today we have caught up on some rearranging and cleaning. Sorting through some baby clothes to save in case they will be needed come January. Which means we are expecting our 3rd in mid January. Come August we will know if its a boy or girl.

He's Gone

Today dad headed off on his Pacific Partnership 09 Humanitarian mission.

"This year we plan to head to Oceania and bring much needed supplies, medical, dental, veterinary and engineering aid to this region that has such a rich history with the United States," The mission will visit Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Tonga.

He will be traveling by boat on the USNS Richard E Byrd

We took him to hickam this morning @7am, and he left from there at 9am. The girls, grandma and I headed off to church. Olivia did not want to go. I think she was just upset dad had left. She is used to him bringing her because usually I am working the service.

The had hot dogs as the meal afterwards and that was great as Miss Kira LOVES them. They about fell asleep on the way home. They both had lunch and naps once we got home, and when O's woke up she wanted to play her jellys in the hot tub. Grandma treated us to chilis for dinner and because our food took so long we had a complimentary chocolate molton lave dessert. Bed when we got home and me to.
