Sorry about the late update, we had a lot of visitors and I just had a 36 hour stomach flu. We started out the visit with a couple of mellow days with Tutu and Grandpa, they were recovering from their all nighters preparing for the trip and Hilo show. We did walk to the park and back one morning (who's idea was that anyway) I for one was exhausted. That last hill is a killer! Aunty Lo, Uncle Vere, Tabitha, Lucy and Hugh all arrived on Wednesday night and for the next few days we were pretty busy. Thanksgiving day we all played outside - horseshoes, frisbee, catch, etc. It was a lot of fun. I was very surprised at how well mom (tutu) can hit the ball with the bat...impressive. I also have to give credit to Lo who got two ringers in horseshoes to win the game. Tutu and Grandpa slaved in the kitchen most of the day, while we played outside. Thank you again mom and dad, you are the best! Kalia loves her turkey soup, she had 3 cups today, but she sure can eat around the peas and carrots!

Kalia had a lot of fun with her cousins and was very sad every day when we had to say good bye. Friday we met everyone at Kapalua bay for sand playing and snorkeling... more pics to follow.

In other big news, twice this week Kalia has been in the bath and told us "mommy, I have to go shi- shi" (she does this quite often) but this time when we put her on the potty she went in the potty! This is big news for us, because we have had quite a bit of potty time, but nothing has ever, ever come out...and this is quite a bit of potty time. However, this morning, we still wanted to wear our diaper and not do potty time. Oh well, baby steps.
