Maya loves her cousin.Maya was actually jealous when I held Cole.
But later when we stayed with Lo & Cole,
we had to protect little Cole from
Maya trying to love him a little too much.

Family ShotOK, doesn't Maya look like a Japanese Erik here?
Kalia is such a ham - where does she get that from?

We just returned for our June California Trip to meet Cole and visit family. We had a great time and are trying to get back to the normal routine. Major detox happening right now. Maya has decided she doesn't do the crib thing anymore.
The trip started out with us almost missing our flight and having to run 1/4 mile to the gate carrying both kids and all because we were eating! I seriously didn't think we were running late, until Erik told ME that we had to go. Then as we were rushing to the gate they called our name over the loud speaker and said they were shutting the door in 2 minutes. We grabbed the kids and ran - Kalia was yelling "wait for us" to Erik & Maya who were ahead of us and everyone was turned around to watch us run. The flight attendant was even yelling "are they coming?" when we were checking our boarding passes and when we finally sat down, Maya started screaming at the top of her lungs. We were the most popular people on the plane. But as soon as the plane took off, Maya fell asleep for 2 1/2 hours! Anyway, it was actually a great flight, I think we all got a little nap in.
Auntie Kim & Papa picked us up at the airport and Kalia & Maya entertained us on the way to Auntie Kim's house. It was so nice not to have to pick up the car rental shuttle with two kids, two carseats & two pieces of luggage. Plus the "maya factor" has definitely changed our style of travel - since she doesn't just lay there anymore and wants to run off.
Our first day in California we had a nice catch up day at Auntie Kim's house with Allie & Anthony. That night I went to my parents house to spend a little time with Cole & help a little with the party preparation. The girls happily stayed to play with Erik & his family.
Saturday we went to Tutu & Grandpa's house for the "Welcome Cole" party. It was a fun party - so great to see everyone, eat great food & spend time with our new little addition. After eating a huge feast, we put on Sleeping Beauty and I think half the party took a nap - including the four of us! Kalia was given a sleeping beauty & ariel doll set from Auntie Lo, Uncle Vere & Cole for her birthday and it kept her occupied for most of the party. Maya was busy putting stickers (from great-grandma) everywhere and trying to get people to give her more M&Ms (with Cole's face on them).
