We're movie stars!

Ok, so not exactly, but we are in the new United through Reading video. It's a fantastic reading program for the military. We were filmed in October last year and the new video has just been released. D was actually filmed via a video conference call from the Middle East. It's about a 5 min video and we're in it a few times. So cool!

20 weeks!

Last night we went to the Naval Station Christmas Party. Another chance to get dressed up, so I had D take a picture of me when we got home. (It's funny how my tummy that is preventing me from sitting closer to the computer looks so much bigger than it does in this pic!) We've made it to the 20 week mark. Typically this is the halfway point, but since we are aiming for 36 to 37 weeks, we are past halfway. In fact, that's less than 4 months. If I think too much about it, I can reach the "Oh my goodness, we have so much to do!" point. Our plan is to enjoy Christmastime with our family and friends, and come January 1st to get to work. Now if we could decide on names!

H's hula


So our big girl decided to embrace the culture here in Hawaii and learn to hula. The Air Force and Navy Chapels have a praise hula class where the girls learn a dance to praise music. H did a great job and learned the dance even without the amount of practice she was supposed to do! We're trying to upload a video, hopefully that will work soon.
