4th of July Weekend

This past weekend was full of family and friends. Lily just made 2.5 weeks old and got to meet her Maui Grannie for the first time! This was the youngest grand-baby she has met in person - Zoey, Kiley and Levi were all at least 1 month old before she got to meet them. Grannie said that Lily looked a lot bigger in the pictures than in person. She's so tiny compared to Levi, but she's growing so fast! She's already out of her newborn clothes and diapers. Lily also got to meet her two uncles/aunty on mommy's side - Uncle Jed, Uncle Royce and Aunty Amy. It was a fun-filled weekend and everyone had a wonderful time.

Aw da cute, Uncle Jed showing some love to Lily

Yum! How patriotic!

We went to Shane and Stacey's house to watch the fireworks instead of the stadium. Levi was interested and said "BIG" and "baby" when he saw the fireworks (some were big and some were small). It was nice to just come and go and not fight any traffic our crowd, especially with having two kids to tote around now. Plus, Lily was too little to bring to the Hospice. Maybe next year we could make an afternoon/evening at the stadium.

Kind of got it... see one on the far left?
 

Lunch at Kukui Grove... Grannie playing with Levi!

We said goodbye to Grannie on Sunday afternoon, her visit seemed so short! We enjoyed her company and how much love she showered on us all. I think Levi didn't really understand that Grannie was leaving, so he wasn't very friendly to her in saying goodbye. She did, however, call a couple days later and he said "BYE!" and "I LOVE YOU!" very loudly to her on the phone.

After dropping Grannie off at the airport, we went to my grandma's house in Ele'ele for dinner. The rest of the family met up with us there (they were up in Kokee picking plums, sight-seeing, and trout fishing). O Bachan held Lily for the last hour before we headed home, her arms were probably aching, but she loved carrying her that she didn't want to let her go! It's so sweet to see how much love gets poured out on our family.

It was a quick weekend, full of events and food. We are so glad everyone could come to visit and hang out with family!
