As a family we took a quick trip to Oahu for Andrew to have a medical procedure and to check out the big city. It was nice to have a change of scenery and walk the city streets. As Deveraux said on the roof top of the hotel, as she looked around, "mom, the city among us." Well said!
I was talking to Drew about how city life is so different, even traffic and seeing so many cars, our kiddos just aren't exposed to all of that. So many shops and so many people. On one hand I like them seeing the city life and it's fast pace and many different people. Yet, with the runner on my hands (Anderson) it sometimes felt we had no where to go, no empty spaces for him to run free. As much as I miss the mainland at times, Maui is a good place for less exposure to many things. Life is simpler. I just wish it weren't so far away....
Shannon, I am so glad you sent me the Christmas card with the path to your blog spot account. I feel like I know so much more about your family after reading through this wonderful blog. You have two beautiful children with such bright blue eyes. Thank you so much for sharing :) I use facebook to share my family events, you are more than welcome to check it out.
