Summer Marches On...

Summer Marches on....


We've had this breathing apparatus as a part of our summer.
Bobo trying it out. 

Car wash time. 


I have been gathering with these ladies for a couple of years for
our keiki program at church and now we meet together in a Bible study.



I just loved this from a home school mama I follow,
we too have morning time but her vision is one that is beyond 
what I have seen yet aspire to.  

Here we all are at a checkup. I love our togetherness.
Dev still isn't fully back to normal, but as we found out
it will just take time.  

First time checking out books!




We really enjoyed "Dora's Sleepover."

Cole showing us his music stuff.


This was one of those Hawaii experiences. Bobo and I went to
harvest a taro patch with Archie and several others. 




Such a cool process to see.
I was a bit out of my comfort zone and I didn't realize
what a long day it was going to be and I had no
way of leaving until I found a ride.
But Bobo, who believes he is a bit Hawaiian 
loved the whole thing and stayed later than I did.


We got to try out what we had harvested.  



And I made it into the newspaper!


This was written by the photographer who filmed
the project with Bobo over the summer.
They had gone to the Taro patch during the filming.
Cozy



Still rockin' the whiskers. 


Water play!


This was going to be the summer to 
get Cambria to love the ocean.  We haven't
been as much, but baby beach is the place to be
for beach acclimating.

Cole's boat he worked on this summer. 




The Neeley's are here and we are having some 
Maui fun!

And we are watching ha'oli for a couple of days.


To be seen.  I have so much in my head and heart so much of the time.  To give you a fraction of it makes me feel connected to someone on this earth.  The only time we seem to have is at night.  The other night I could tell you tired you were and so I stopped talking. But I longed to tell you about my visit with Heather.  Then last night you fell asleep before we could talk.  Our only time to really talk in a day is when lately you are too tired to stay awake.  I feel lonely.  I have told you this before but I have no one else on island to really pour out to.  And especially now, I cannot meet with moms because our kids have been sick.

I have so much inside about faith right now and I don’t have a place to sort it through.  I grow weary of the one to always say, I need us to be connected or I need to be seen by you.  

I can tell in your irritated tone with me that we are not connected.  But often in these days, I am really needing to have you reach out to me.   (Just some honest feelings). 

So thankful for all the moments with the Neeley's
on this island. 


Someone found a hula outfit!

Good words.  

Dev had fun with Zach.
A big hug from the sweet Neeley's!

The Neeley's gifted us with this tent!

I LOVE that they love theatre!

Thanks neighbor for helping us hang a swing!
Homemade chicken noodle soup for healing!
We are on the quest to find leaves for a stone pathway.




Our neighbors are pretty great!





We hit the Gap to check out the fall clothes,
thinking about our Fall trip.
We liked this one!
She liked this one.
Which one do you think we bought?!?
Yup!  Mickey Won!

Love when they hold hands.

So we had 4 teenagers plus Cole descend on us for a week.
They were super respectful and we actually didn't see
them a whole lot.  They ventured out and stayed in
and had a great time.
A familiar scene for the summer.  Cole cooking.

Hanging out with Cole, we went out to Paia Fish Market.

Kinda me right now.

Surf contest at Launiapoko.  





Dev's room

Dev and I went to a choral concert for Dev's voice teacher.
It was great/


Last dinner with Cole, celebrating at Outback.

Celebration meal for the start of a new school year!


Drew sometimes thinks we are running a YMCA, all three tucked in!

Shower GOALS!

We recreated a beach scene for a few years ago.
And this one. 
Good-bye treats Cole made.
Counting the summer's earning!

They were doing something out there.
Packing time.  Bobo is headed to Hood River where is was
going to meet up with Andrew's parents who just happened
to be in Washington for a family members wedding.  We couldn't believe
how perfect it worked out, as if it were meant to be.

And I was sending Cole off to Colorado and College. 
Summer is coming to an end soon.
