Dear Damian, You are now 8 years old!! You are such a “big kid” now and I love it! You love skating and playing outside, but you also love your video games! Minecraft is your fav, and even though I’m not big on screen time I like how you can create things on there and…

Dear Elijah, It has been one year since you came ferociously but blissfully on a quiet Kauai morning. I can’t even explain to you how much has changed since then. Not just our family, but the whole world it seems! One day you will hear about 2020 and all of it’s chaos! But for now…
