For the past couple of days Slugger has been taking a hesitant step or two. Usually she’s near the couch or near an adult and she’ll slowly venture out and take a few steps. Sometimes she makes it and sometimes she drops to her butt and sits down. But either way, it has just been one or two steps. That all changed Tuesday night. For the longest time, we were both eagerly awaiting the day when Slugger would walk and…
Today, Slugger and I spent the morning together. Keao had to work for a few hours, so it was just me and her at home. Most of the time, Slugger is pretty content to just kind of cruise around and play with her toys as long as she knows you’re nearby. Every now and then, she will come over and want to be carried or want to sit in your lap, but for the most part she knows how to…
“Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God, I don’t know but today seems kinda odd Today I didn’t even have to use my AK, I got to say it was a good day” – Ice Cube, “It was a Good Day” What does Ice Cube have to do with 32 being a magic number? Honestly not a lot other than it was a good day. Monday, Labor Day, people going out and enjoying the holiday taking advantage of…
“Blessed are those whose strength is in the Lord.” Psalm 84:5a Casey (on the right) spends one last moment with her sister Allison It’s been seven days since we received the phone call that notified us that something wasn’t right with Allison. One week later we are still recovering. Still grieving. Still searching for answers. I’m not going to lie. It hasn’t been easy. I wish I could say that there was some magic pill that we took that gave…
Every day Keao and I try to go to the Kaiser Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) to see our babies. I doesn’t sound like much, but since we do this every day I thought I’d give you a little insight as to what we have to do to see our babies. NICU right this way At Kaiser Moanalua the NICU is located on the fourth floor. When Keao gave birth she delivered on the sixth floor so every time we…
Isn’t she cute? Don’t worry if you don’t think so, I won’t be offended Tomorrow my girls make two weeks old. Two weeks old and they’re still tiny. Sometimes I wonder if they’ll ever get bigger. They tell me that right after babies are born (prematurely or otherwise) they will lose weight. That’s completely normal. But when your children weigh less than 2 pounds it seems like weight loss, any weight loss, is horribly detrimental. Every day Keao and I…
Last week Wednesday, July 28, Keao and I celebrated our third wedding anniversary. It was an interesting day. On that same day, right around lunchtime, I became a father. Being parents was something Keao and I talked about many times while we were dating, when we were engaged and once we were married. We both agreed we wanted to have kids but I would have never guessed it would happen the way it did (you can read Keao’s version here)….
So I’ve decided to move to word press. I recently got this new blog software that should make created blogs a little easier (so maybe I can blog more often…) but it doesn’t do pictures really well. It does however seem to work well with word press so I’m making the change. Please go to http://pastorscottsthoughts.wordpress.com for further reading pleasure.
So it’s been a while since I’ve last blogged. A real long while. It’s not for a lack of things to blog about as much as just laziness. So sorry. I’ll try not to be this lazy in the future. The last few months have been a blur. At one point I spent 21 out of 22 nights sleeping away from home because I went on a missions trip to Japan followed by a wedding in New York and a…
Last month Keao and I celebrated our second full year of marriage (yay!). To celebrate we decided to take a short trip to LA (yay again!). Now, when it comes to planning trips, I like to squeeze in as much as I can because I only have a limited time so after flying all night (we landed at LAX at 6:30am) we got our rental car and drove straight down to Anaheim, home of the Disneyland Resort. Now if you…
