Fresh white nectarines! They are in season at the moment, and I love them when they are really fresh. The inside of the nectarine is pure white, crunchy and tasted mildly sweet, like a combination between an apple and a peach.

Belly bump = 34 weeks pregnant!

Baby Y weighs about 4 3/4 pounds (like your average cantaloupe) and is almost 18 inches long. Things are getting tight in there: baby Y may be slowing down, and I might be too. Or not! I feel so cumbersome like a mama duck waddling around, going nowhere fast.

10th anniversary Duke's OceanFest (a weeklong event), honoring legendary Hawaiian waterman Duke Kahanamoku, in true Waikiki Beachboy style! He is perhaps the most remembered and respected Hawaiian surfer, a master of canoeing and a champion Olympic swimmer – a true waterman. Duke helped the surf sport reach unbelievable popularity, not only in Hawaii, but around the world. That’s why he is also called “the father of international surfing.”

A pallate of colors fills the sky
With the beauty of the Gods.
May I ever work to better myself
So that I may better reflect that beauty,
Both inside and out.
So mote it be.

Bird brain or in my case pregnancy-induced brain fog (pregnancy amnesia). Sometimes I'll just completely zone out in the middle of doing something or lose my train of thought while speaking.

"Omiyage" [oh-mee-YAH-geh] is the Japanese word for gift. Much Mahalos to Liza for all the yummy edible gifts from CA; especially the Happy Hippo(s)!

So many Sunday open houses, so little time! We will need a bigger place soon as we will have a new addition to the family and hoping to own rather than renting. We should have started looking right after we got married!

Being first time parents, we wanted our infant car seat installation inspected. Today, we went to Mililani Town Center as Keiki Injury Prevention Coalition/Safe Kids Hawaii (KIPC) were offering free child safety seat check-ups. We had a professional make sure we installed and use the car seat properly (as you can see teddy bear's arms and legs should be under the belt and not over.)
