Thankful for friends coming to visit this week!

Thankful for the sun and sand that gives our weekends such refreshment!

Thankful for continued encouragement from http://walnutstgospelhall.com/sermon-series/safety-vulnerability-mental-health-in-the-local-church/

Thankful for Hudson getting better, getting longer nights sleep & getting back to his silly, mischievous, snuggly ( yes! The sick snuggles might have done him good and now he is all about hug time! #trolls)  and all boy self.

Thankful for fun friends! We only wish we had gotten closer sooner! Another life lesson that is getting at my heart..... always put in the time early in a move, or life, or a visit, to make the most of time together! Invest in relationships.

Thankful for a speedy sale of the Harley! Great buyer, great transaction, and great to know we only have 1 vehicle to transport to the mainland.

Thankful for  health & safety despite the Big Island's crazy eruptions!

 (Auntie gave Hannah money, she bought a spa mask, and promptly got in the tub, rubbed the mask on, and relaxed. Love this girl, She does life right.)

 Harrison and his hair. This in itself requires it's own blog post! This boy. Maybe the age? Maybe his love of spunk and creativity? Maybe the confusion of being white in a fun Hawaiian culture, where all the boys just have mops of surfer hair? Matt had the duty privilege to take him to get his hair chopped. He wants the surfer do, and a man bun. We are okay with both but not ok with the crazy unkempt sideburns etc. So a happy compromise happened. Success. 😍

 Target seriously needs to open earlier than 8 am! ya'll! But we happily took selfies as we waited!

 Pinata Stuffer! ready for cinco de mayo !

 Hannah's last Patch the Pirate Concert!

 It was so awesome to hear the kids recite the verses & sing praises. Hannah loves to sing but is not a fan of all the attention up on stage, but stayed focused on Aunty Heidi, not the crowd and did so well!
