Coffee Shop

It was a pretty uneventful week. Our big task for the week was giving Joshua a bedtime routine. We have been giving him a bath right around 8. We then go up to his nursery where Kalani feeds him and I read stories to them (we started the chronicles of Narnia). This is going pretty well. He usually goes to sleep by 9 and sleeps till 11 or 12.

For our big adventure of the week Kalani and I went to our local coffee shop (see picture to the left). Josh was great he slept for like an hour and a half while we worked. Kalani worked on her thank you letters/baby announcements (so yes they are still coming :) ). I did some work work (which was all lost because CCLT could not handle the changes I made ARGH!).

Next week Kalani's Aunt Dana is coming to see us. My mom got here plane tickets, she is coming on Aug 17th (could not wait till labor day weekend as planed :) ). We are looking forward to their visits.

We have some house repairs scheduled for next week. On Monday we have a roofer coming to fix our leaking roof and on Wednesday a repair man is coming out to look at our washing machine. Hopefully this will be the end of repairs for a while.

Kalani and I took the following nerd quiz. I scored and 85 as you see. Kalani scored a 7. I am such a nerd, Gosh! :)



Below is a couple more photos from this week.

Kiki

Sorry I have not posted in a while. Things are going well here. We are just settling into our normal routine. There has been a couple chances to get new photos (Kalani went to a mommy meeting on Wednesday during the day and we went to a BBQ last night). Both times we did not end up taking any pictures.

Today Kalani's aunt Kiki came to visit us from Southport. We made sure to take pictures this time. We had a great day. We went to Xios for lunch (Josua's first time at a restaurant). Joshua was so good, he slept through the entire meal. Here are some pictures: one at the restaurant and the other at home.

Pasha's Last Day

Yesterday was Pasha's last day here. Pasha thank you for all your help over the last few weeks. It will tough adjusting to life without the third set of hands. We really enjoyed your visit and I am glad you were able to be a big part of Josua's frist month.

Yesterday we stayed around the house (there were rumblings of an ice cream excursion, put it never materialized). We did have 2 great meals. For lunch I made nori and dinner a tofu salad. We also finished off all the Vatrouska Pasha had made the day before.

Candy

Our friend Candy came over on Thursday with her 3 little girls (Olivia, Elennor and Lilly is holding Josh). There are a few more pictured bellow.

We had planned on 2 big events for Friday (Kalani and her mom were going to bring Joshua to meet me and my co-workers for lunch and we were going to have people over for dinner that night). Starting Thursday Joshua was not sleeping well. We think he may have been sick. Than Friday morning and through the day Kalani started feeling sick. She says she is felling a bit better today.

We do not have any plans for the weekend. Pasha leaves early tomorrow. We will miss her and all her help. Next she is off to visit Kalani's sister Laura and her family.

Go Pack!

Here is Joshua in his NC State Wolfpack bib, sitting up (for like 2 seconds). He cannot wait till football season starts ;).

Things have been going pretty good this week. Josh weighed in at 8 lbs 6 oz. He is putting on the pounds now.

Our friend Brian came over to dinner on on Sunday. We had made a buch of Metiteranian food (Baba Ghanoush, Hummus, Greek Salad and grilled chicken).

We sat around and read the story of the wolf and his pancakes (book we got from our library visit) - Snippity Snappity.

Kalani and Pasha went over to visit Dianne, Chris, Conner and baby Tyler.

Here are some pictures of Brian and Josh and Kalani (with her new brown hair), Josh, Dianne and Tyler.

We are thinking of you mom

Update - I just talk to my mom briefly. They said the faired through the storm just fine.

My mom and a grandma are riding out hurricane Dennis down in Pensacola FL. Dennis looks as it is hitting them dead on. We send you all our best that you (and everyone down there) will make it through today without harm.

Bath Time

Kalani and her mom took some pictures while giving Joshua a bath today. Here are the photos of him getting ducky clean.

Tyler Evan Khin

Our good friends Chris and Dianne have just had thier second child Tyler Evan Khin. Above is the happy family. Everyone is doing well. They have set up their own web site for pictures at http://home.mindspring.com/~khinetic/

Here are a couple more pictures. One of Tyler, Kalani and I. The other is a picture of their first child Connor. I had to try to take this picture 3 time before I was able to catch him facing me (action shot).

Library

Today we took Joshua to the Library. In the left you see he is all decked out in his reading outfit.

And here were are all ready to read. We picked up several good books to read to him.

Well I should stop bloging and get to it :).

Blogging

Here is Bogey, Josh and I working on this Blog. Of course they do most of the work. I just supervise.

Yesterday was Joshua's first 4th of July. We just hung out at home all day. I started my second blog to display recipes I make and like http://milkywaydiner.blogspot.com/.

My friend Chris just called me and let me know that he and his wife Dianne have just had a baby. I will make a post with pictures as soon as we go and see them. Chris said Dianne and baby Tyler are doing well.

Finally here is picture of Joshua from this morning. He is trying and can almost lift his head.

Luau

Kalani and her mom took Joshua to his first Luau (yes in North Carolina). It was over at some writer friends of Kalani's house. To the left you see Josh in his grandma decked out in their aloha attire.

Of course Joshua was a big hit at the party. Below you can see some of the Luau spread which included Huli Huli chicken and Hawaiian kind macaroni salad.

Just getting him ready for his big Luau next year in Hawaii.

Caitlin Rose Salmonson

Our freinds Jim and Alice just had a new baby, Caitlin Rose Salmonson. This is their second child. Kalani and Alice worked togeather a few years ago. Now Jim and Alice live about 5 minutes from us.

First 4th

This is Joshua's first 4th of July weekend. Here is a cute picture in the kind of silly hat he will look back on and say "Mom what where you thinking".





On Friday we went back to see the pediatrician. They said Josh looks great, but he still has not gained quite as much weight as they would like to see. Therefore, we still need to wake him up to eat every 3 hours whether he wants to get up or not. He has been getting up on his own more often than before, so this is not as big of a deal. We taking him back to be weighed on Tuesday.





Before going to see War of The Worlds on Friday, Eric stopped by to see the baby. I remember being able to go out on Friday night. Seems like only a few weeks ago :).
