So many things...

Boyd has just finished his spring break and we were able to do so many things as a family this past week. Always easier with an extra set of hands. Ohana also had her first smile 3 days ago. Right before Timber had to be put down. Yesterday we went to the Aquarium in Denver. Surprisingly our favorite thing were the Tigers! Not of any less significance, Ohana's baby quilt was finished and now resides in her beautiful nursery. Enjoy the photos!

In Loving Memory...

Last night we had to put our beloved dog Timber to sleep. As it turns out he had cancer and kept the symptoms from us until he could not hide them anymore. It was very sudden and unexpected. Luckily we got to say our good byes and be with him in his last breath.

Timber was 12 years old and was a great dog who loved his pack and provided years of companionship running, hiking and hanging out. We will miss him greatly.

One Month and Counting

Well Ohana has passed the one month mark and is doing great. We had a bout of flu for Rigel and Boyd but Dena and Ohana did not get it thank the Lord. Sleep is getting better but still elusive. Here are some pictures from the past week and our trip to the zoo today.

First Bath

Ohana's umbilical cord stump came off last week but with two babies in the house it took us a while to get to her first bath. She cried at first but then really liked it. Her hair is now even softer and she smells even sweeter.

week 2-3

Another amazing week of life. Ohana and Rigel are great.

Twins

We are getting adjusted to home life with four. Our children are such a gift. I look back at pictures of Rigel and see just how similar the look.

The Most Beautiful Thing I Have Seen

We brought Ohana home today, The morning started warm but it was snowing by the time we left the hospital. Ohana slept the whole drive home. When we got here we had a couple of visitors, (Thanks for the coffee Ally) then Rigel came home. We had some great family time.

I got to witness one of the most amazing things from my son and wife. Rigel wanted to hold Ohana again and had her on his lap. He was laughing every time Ohana hiccuped which went on for about 5 minutes. Dena walked up and started watching, Rigel started kissing Ohana on the nose. Then after a big kiss he told Ohana "I Wuv woo" (I Love You) I looked at my bride and watched the tears start to flow freely.

The are many great things in this world but few rival the love of a child and the love of a mother. I got to witness both in one second. Life is good!
