Lyon and His Hair

Lyon needs a hair cut. Due to two giddy-giddies (cowlicks, swirls, etc) on the back of his head and his stick-straight hair, his hair only grows straight up on top. Even if we get it wet it sticks up.

Holding Hands

Lyon and Kiri after playing hard at Tutu and Me Traveling Preschool Program. Kiri was passed out and Lyon held her hand the whole way home while he looked out the window at passing cars.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KIRIANA!!

On Saturday Kiriana turned ONE YEAR OLD! We reflected on how time has gone by so fast. It seems like just yesterday I was calling Ariki at Duke's Restaurant in the middle of his gig and telling him to hurry to the hospital-she was going to be here within the hour!!! And then there she was...perfect, tiny, peaceful, beautiful....And today, on her first birthday, here she is with brown curly hair, honey-brown skin, big eyes, a cute gap between her teeth. She likes to snuggle and be held. She walks around the house now and talks with a raspy voice. When she kisses you she opens her mouth and ends up licking you. We never imagined that we would have one kid, let alone TWO! We never dreamed our life could be more full of love after Lyon, but it is, and we are grateful for our little Kiriana Heimataura Kauvai Foster!
For her birthday we had a small party down at Poipu Beach Park. Grandpa Tom and I worked very hard to prepare all the food. We had pineapple-Teriyaki Chicken with Coconut, coconut-lemongrass rice and a great salad. Everyone loved the food. We also had a volleyball court to play. Everyone went swimming and had a great time. Auntie Sandy prepared two marvelous cakes, one special one for Kiri that she delighted in after everyone sang "Happy Birthday" Everyone had a great time and now we are so tired. Happy Birthday Kiri! Mom and Dad love you!!
