Watch out NASA!
January 30, 2008A few weeks ago Bill and Melina were walking home and Mel told him that the luna was smiling at her. She loves the moon, mom showed her where it was when she was just a baby and Melina has been fixated on it since then. She always points out the moon/luna and stars to us.
So the other evening she and I were out for a walk and she told me she wanted to go to the moon and touch it. I told her she could when she grows up and I bet she would love it. She asked if I would come with her and I told her probably not because mommy gets motion sickness something awful. She said OK mommy, I will take a picture of me on the moon for you and bring it back. So cute. Now she walks around telling people she is going to be an astronaut. Well, she got to try it out at the discovery museum in Truckee!

Our trip to Kauai
January 16, 2008We spent the first week of the new year in Kauai with some friends. They have a son Mel's age so the kids had been talking about swimming, the beach and turtles for weeks. We had beautiful weather all week, it didn't rain once which is rare in Jan in Princeville! Must be Bill's good luck--he really does have the best luck.
Day 1 at the beach (Kee'e). Got to the house about 1am, at the beach by 8am--Melina was SO excited!
Come on daddy, let's surf!
Melina as a mermaid
We went to a luau at the Princeville Resort and Melina had a blast! Ok, this shot is a little close. They kept passing out the Mai Tais though and who am I to pass up a cocktail with an umbrella when I'm on the beach?! Good thing we could walk home!
Mel wanted to go on stage and try out the hula
She loved the dancers, especially the ones with the fire
Our last beach day
Last surfing lesson before we had to catch a plane home.
Christmas Weekend Getaway
January 16, 2008We went to the Fairmont the weekend before Christmas for a little pre-Christmas family celebration. We all had a great time, especially Melina! (I know I am WAY behind on posting these pics)
