O'ahu 'Ohana Sendoff

Fleeing the coop. Spreading his wings. This crew was preparing to say a hui hou to one of their own, Big Brother. At the session, I asked him to share his hopes for the evening, and he simply said, “that mom is happy.” My mama heart melted. High five, parents. He may be leaving the island for some time, but there’s no doubt this fun, energetic ‘ohana will always hold him so close.

A Waimanalo Welcome

Hello, Baby! This (big) little guy and his family spent an evening with us at the beach, and it’s always a bonus when extended family is around. He was wide awake and all in with his first (toe) dip in the ocean. Those sweet grins. Congrats, Mom and Dad!
