It's been so long!

Again...I have let time pass from me. My last post was in March! now it's July!! Wow. Where do I begin. So many things have happened since then! I've been contemplating whether I go back and update everything or just start from today. It's overwhelming to even think about it. Let me just highlight a few things we've done since March.
* My mother -in-law came to visit and made all kinds of Mexican dishes for us to enjoy. You could smell the aroma like none other when you stepped out of the elevator. Oscar's older brother, Miguel, and his wife, Melanie, also came to the island. We had a great time all hanging out as family.
* Just a few days later, my brother and his oldest daughter, Hanna, came to visit! We were pleasantly surprised to have them here and had a great time showing them around the island. We were able to spend my 31st birthday together!
* Ki graduated from Preschool and we registered him for kindergarden. He will start in August.
* Genesis turned 3! For her birthday she wanted to go shopping! Two of her best friends, Abby and Naomi, joined us for manicures and pedicures and then dinner and icecream.
* Zek turned 1! We celebrated his first birthday with a Hawaiian tradition Luau. My parents came, Oscar's little sister, Cynthia, and Miguel and Melanie came back again to all help us celebrate along with our wonderful friends.
* We've had many days at the beach, hiking, hanging out with friends, and just watching the sunset from our lanai.
Well, if I posted pictures of everything, you would never have time to go through them, so tomorrow I plan on posting just a few special ones. And I promise...I will keep more on top of things, updating you on our crazy life!

1 Peter 5:10-11

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
