Winter in Hawaii

It's colder than you'd think and I think we're all used to the heat. I have no idea what the temperature is, but we're all freezing in the morning. It's probably 70 degrees, ha ha. 

We're only going to be in Hawaii 3 more months ... and I'm feeling the pressure, but I can tell Meagan is ready to get back to CA. There are so many ways we are connected in this day and age it doesn't feel like we live out in the country often. But if you step back and look at it, our daily lives, we really do live out in the middle of nowhere. I love it.

Coco is continuing to impress me with her competitiveness, compassion, and occasional sassiness. She tries to climb on the monkey bars, over and over and over again, and if she can't do it she is so disappointed it's actually sad. It's easy to cheer her up after, but she truly is upset if she can't do something.

On that note, Ash is similar -- he wants to do everything himself. He's starting to talk a lot now and is very much like a stereotypical boy. Right now, he loves putting on Van's shoes and walking around in them. Yesterday he jumped and dunked a basketball on the mini hoop. He plays really well with his siblings and loves copying them. Those cheeks though. That chin. I'll start saving for cheek surgery. 

We're currently looking at trying to buy a second home when we move back to CA, but I don't think it's going to happen. I'm convinced:

“The person who borrows the most money is the richest”

But that scares me. Can you be conservative and risky at the same time?
