Uncle Christian's Here

And Coco will not leave him alone. He came baring gifts!!! He brought a whoopi cushion (which we quickly broke) and darts that whistle, light up, and you slingshot into the sky. 3 are on the roof and 2 are in my neighbors yard. We have one left. But we're having a blast with flinging them everywhere. Coco chases after them and tries to grab them out of the air. She finally has all the days of the weeks down and has started doing simple addition and subtraction.

Van is reading his first book -- well, more like he's memorized what the words look like and can recognize them -- but still. He loves when the sun goes down and it's time to "RUN RUN" around the house and scream and be weird. Put your arms down Van and just run like a normal kid.

Ash knows almost all the letters in the alphabet. He doesn't laugh that often but when he does it's the cutest. His haircut is still awful. He likes putting on Coco's shoes and walking around -- NEVER TRY TO HELP HIM. Ash is going to be a "I can do it myself" kind of person.

We don't live the most lavish life out here -- in fact it can often times resemble glamping -- but it's perfect for where we are at now. Our kids are just ruining everything at this age and what better place to do that than in Hawaii? 

Meagan is looking forward to going back to California and seeing family and friends, eating well, taking the kids to various appointments and theme parks. She's also nervous for when we get back to Hawaii and Van goes to school!

Christian and I have been bodysurfing but the waves / conditions aren't great yet. Things are looking promising for the next day or so. Hopefully we can get Christian into a few killer waves.
