It has been a quiet week so far....just hav'in fun hanging out (as Noa says). Noa has mastered his morning routine of feeding the Puppy, eating his breakfast with good manners, brushing his own teeth, washing hands & face and getting dressed all by himself ( I still comb his hair). The biggest accomplishment Noa has done is being a wonderful Big Brother to Zekey. Noa truly helps, shows by example and loves his little brother. They are really terrific together and it is a blast watching them.

Noa went to one of his buddies 3rd birthday party this weekend. Lots of fun on the trampoline and in backyard. The cake wasn't bad either.

We are soooo excited to have Grannie from California come for a visit. We love having her here and wish she could save forever. We hope there will be lots of adventures while she is here.

Big Week for the Boys

This was a huge week for the boys...Zekey is officially crawling and climbing up on anything he can. It is lots of fun watching Zekey crawl around the house and chase our Puppy Sage. He seems thrilled to be able to get to his (and Noa's) toys without help.

Noa went to his very first dentist appointment last week. He was so brave and had such a great attitude about it all. They were very impressed and proud how well he takes care of his teeth.

Noa had another great time with one of his friends. It is so nice to see them being such great little men. Practicing how to share, cooperating and what it means to be good friends.

My girlfriend and I took all the kids up to the Waimea Park for a fun day on the slides and swings. Noa also discovered this week how to climb up the tree in our backyard. I knew that was only a matter of time. He is thrilled! Things are really getting interesting in the Allison household.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

It was a MERRY CHRISTMAS this year Thanks to Granny and Grandpop our tree was full of presents. Noa got a huge growling dinosaur this year and lot of books, puzzles and trucks. Zekey was thrilled with his bounty. We are hoping the joys of Christmas last all year.

Back to the Beginning

This is a video of pictures that look back on the last year of our lives. It has been an amazing time living on the Big Island. There are so many good things that have happened to us that it is impossible to write them all of them down. So here is a small glimpse, enjoy!

Brothers

This is going to be a year of new beginnings and wonderful possibilities. My resolution for 2008 is to keep a journal of my two babies adventures together.
This is Noa and Zekey's first Christmas picture together. It was truly a gift to be able to see the wonders of Christmas and the holiday season through their eyes.
