We saw this bakery on the way to the Black Sand Beach when we were on the Big Island and decided to stop on our way back. We got fresh pastries but also picked up a loaf of sandwich bread. It was absolutely delicious! We got another loaf at the grocery store. Sadly, I haven’t been able to find it yet on this island.

The land mass you see in the left corner is Diamond Head Crater. In a (failed) attempt to prompt Benjamin to arrive, I climbed that at 39 weeks.

Which looks all to similar to this one.

When Jim & Wendy planned their trip out, I started talking to Elizabeth about it. It was too far out for her to understand, so I tried to think of a way to help her visualize. It was about 40 days when I figured out a way–we traced each of our hands and feet and, each day, she tears one off. Not much longer!

1) Facing a busy street, Ben spends much of his day looking at the traffic, especially the trucks and construction equipment. He’s checking out the bakery truck in this picture.

2) I got these adorable monster diaper-cover pants the other day.
