nineteen weeks!

since we had company, we were a little late on marin's 4 month check up. but her stats were surprising:

 

height 94% (TALL girl!)

weight 46%

 

she is rolling over, laughing, chatting, and chewing on everything! 

week in review: 19.4

sunday morning we packed up an headed over to kona to lounge by the pool at the sheraton. wes was a champ and stayed home with marin. i didn't quite know what to do with myself with only one child...but i figured it out.

 

before we left our house we took some pictures, what a difference a few months makes! 

 

 

i love that we both have baby girls so close in age!

 

the whole week was so fun, and it really blessed me to spend time with

two of my favorite mamas and their little rascals.

 off to kona, and a pit stop at the black sand beach.

 

 

they weren't having any fun...

at last...the swimming pool! we set up and parked ourselves next to pool till 8:30 pm. refusing to move unless someone had to go to the bathroom. we ordered dinner and ate poolside, my favorite resort thing to do. we had so much fun. i wish we would have planned to stay a of couple nights, but then again i wish i lived at a resort.

 



 

 

the next morning we had to rally to the airport to drop off our very special guests. but coen and daphne enjoyed some time out on the lanai before we headed out.

 



 we miss them so much, and hope they can some back soon. i wish we could all live together, like sister wives, except not share the husband part. it is just so great to have extra hands and support and laugh till you can't laugh any more. such a GREAT week! thank you amanda and Shannon for taking the time and spending the money to come out to the middle of the pacific with your beautiful daughters, we greatly appreciate it and feel so lucky to have had you!

 zoo day! lazy pigs, monkeys, birds...a couple complete melt downs from the big kids. just another day in paradise.

 

after the zoo we headed to coconut island for MORE beaching.

 

 beaching makes these babies so very sleepy.

i am realizing that  the gap in time between getting home each evening and leaving the house again the next morning was never documented, on any of our days. it's a shame really. the melt downs from total exhaustion would have been quite a sight. wes made a comment that he was surprised to see us jump up each morning to do it all again. but it was all SO worth it.

 

 

saturday morning hula in the park!

 



an old co-worker of shannon's lives in the big island now

and was dancing hula...it was so fun to go watch her! 

 

the best idea we had all week?

dropping the big kids off with wes at the beach

while the mama's and babies went shopping. thanks, wes!

the next morning all my playgroup friends came over. it was chaos. but even still, i am so glad that everyone got to meet shannon and amanda. i love when your past life meets your current life and both weave together beautifully. (that was deep!)

 

 how cute is the next generation of  life long friends? TOO cute, i say!

 

 

 

 

 

after some down time, we headed up to the volcano for some super fun.

lava tube, bowling, and the glow. great night! 

  

 

 

 and bright and early the next morning we...you guessed it, hit the beach again!

 we could NOT get enough.

 

 

and every good beach day needs shave ice!

and every good beach day with shave ice SHOULD end like this.
