So tutu and grandpa arrived last saturday very late and then sunday mom had a craft show on at War Memorial, so we drove over to see them. They had left some luggage, so kalia was asking all morning if we could go and see them, since she noticed that they must have come while we were sleeping. Kalia picked out a very special outfit to go and see them - she put her blue tutu over her clothes, asked for two piggy tails and had a neck full of beaded necklaces. Of course, tutu took her around the craft show to buy her a couple things - oh, she got her this really pretty plumeria hair clip and maya tore off one of the petals this morning and kalia was so upset that she said, "maya, I am not going to be your big sister any more!"

Oh, Maya took 2 steps to me today! But has since then just been taking maybe one step then launching herself at me.

Mom has been working on projects on the house - recovering the lanai furniture cushions - I sewed a pillow! Also recovering maya's high chair cushion - the cutest fabric- pears. Dad has been cleaning my kitchen - deep cleaning the stove top and mom cleaned my microwave. I have seriously not done the dishes since they got here...life is good!

Mom and Dad are staying at Noelani, right in front of s-turns, so erik & I both got to surf wednesday and thursday - it was so fun. Erik really does love me because he gave up epic Honolua Bay on thanksgiving to surf s-turns with me! It had been 8 months since we surfed together and I caught my "wave of the season" - so fun! It was definitely a lot of work both days and I needed a nap afterwards, constant paddling. Wednesday erik & I traded off and everyone got to watch my session from mom & dad's lanai, it was pretty cool, since they have really never watched me surf. We also got a date night last night - we went to Pineapple Grill & Maui Brewing Company, it was really fun!

So I officially have a new job - marketing for the new Duke's Beach House at Honua Kai. They are willing to work with my schedule and I'm excited!
