My stomach was upset a bit at church Sunday, but I was okay until last night. Miserable night. I haven't hurt that bad since I was in labor.

Five Sets of Toes
When I was here last June, all us girls painted our toenails and took a picture of our feet. We're flying out this evening, and we couldn't pass up an opportunity to do it again--this time with baby Lucy.

More Travels and a Baby Blessing
On Friday and Saturday we hit the road again. It's been really rainy ever since Erin had the baby. The days were pretty nice before then, though it's actually sunny out today (had a nice rain storm earlier).
On Friday we hit the Kilauea Light House. This island is a bird sanctuary off the peninsula where the light house is located. The light house is currently being remodeled.
The white spots in the picture are birds called "Red-Footed Boobies".
Yes, you read the right. The sign below is proof:
On Saturday we went to the other side of the island and stopped at Kalihiwai Beach. The waves were pretty high compared to when Erin and the kids and I visited there last June. There were several surfers, though none of them were close enough to get a good picture.
We saw a parasurfer. There's been so much rain that they have what's called a "Brown Water Warning" meaning there's so much runoff that the water along the shore is full of unhealthy water. They recommend not swimming in it.
Since we were close to JoJo's, we had to stop by for some Shave Ice. Ooooo. It's been voted the best in the island for several years now for a reason.
Gotta loved the relaxed atmosphere around here. This is the hours open sign on JoJo's door. The place is literally a wood shack.
They had Lucy's baby blessing early (Erin wouldn't normally take her out among that many people, but she wanted Ed to be able to be in the circle. Spencer gave a lovely blessing.
We're currently watching old family movies, and it's amazing to see how much Lucy looks like Madelyn did at this age. The real question is if that will continue as Lucy gets older.
It's sad to think we're leaving tomorrow.

News from Lihu'e
Well, today Spencer begins a week of not being on call, and Erin's feeling better and up to getting out some. So after Sienna and Aidan went to school, we headed out for breakfast.
Banana Macadamia Nut Pancakes with Coconut Syrup.
Yum! And Mad was so cute!
Erin, Spencer, and Lucy
Then we went to the mall to find a diaper bag, and they had a little performance thingy going for the kids. This is of Mad and Spencer doing "Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes".
And here's little Lucy snoozing:

Playing Hide and Seek
When Sienna and Aidan came home from school today, Madelyn wanted to play outside on her bike while Sienna rode hers. So off we went.
And, of course Papa (also known as the Cookie Monster back at home) is always giving out goodies because he's always munching.
Then it was time to play hide and seek (Papa and I are too old for all that running around!). This is Madelyn hiding behind the tree. Umm ...

She's Here!
Lucy Aurelia was born at 1:17 a.m. on February 2, 2011. She weighed 7 lbs 7.2 ounces and was 19 1/2 inches long. Good healthy lungs. Both mom and baby are doing fine.
The above picture was taken not long after her birth.
The following picture was taken this morning (once she wasn't looking quite so battle weary) with her next oldest sister, Madelyn (who's now a big sister).
