Nanea 19 and 20 months

Nanea:
*recently started telling me to "dance" while we drive to school in the car, to the radio music.  She waves her hands, bobs her head, and tries to snap.
*like to brush her teeth.
*enjoys going to the Hingano family's house when Jason has his photography class.
*picks what clothes she wants to wear.
*goes after our phones when we get a call or text
*Says: "not that one", "hug", "bye daddy", "bye mommy", "juice",

*she loves her Aunty kris and Aunty chantel! They all had lots of quality time together as they watched her while we studied and went to class.

*29th-Nanea woke up vomiting in bed at 11am.  This basically continued every half an hour until 4:30am when we called the Dr. Who told us to go to Kahuku hospital. There she received from zofran and we all passed out for a few hours.  She woke up at 7am, significantly improved and actually wanted and could drink the pedialite.  It's always heart breaking when she or any child is in pain.

 *3rd (Saturday) Jason helped Jermaine to move the play ground 

*4th (Sunday) Grandma and Grandpa Calles, Aunty Peaches and La came over for a dinner.  We picked plumeria to make a lei for her father and set it out at sea when surfing with Jason and Kris.

*6th (Tuesday) Went to the temple to do intiatories.  Kris and Chantel watched Nenea. We met up at the temple after to take some photo's for Jason's class assignment.

*16th (Friday) Went to the Honolulu Zoo for Nanea's play group Pulama i na Keiki through Alu Like with Ashlee, Hanalei and Tutu. That night Jason left for New Zealand with his Career Connections Group. He'd be gone for a week so Nanea and I spent time with Tutu and Pi'i in Mililani.

And of course: Skype with us when the internet allowed

*22nd (Thursday)/23rd (Friday in New Zealand)-Nanea and I enjoyed Thanksgiving with Tutu, Pi'i and the Takeguchi's while Jason enjoyed dinner it with whanau in NZ at the Goodwin house.  I did some early Black Friday shopping at Walmart. Jason had Thanksgiving dinner with the Smiths down at the Goodwin house.

*24th (Saturday) Took Nanea to the Honolulu Aquarium, one of her favorite places to go.

Daddy finally came home!!! We know and hope that he enjoyed his time down in NZ with family, but we are so relieved and happy that our family is complete once again.

Reunited with daddy once again at L&L airport
