2014 - Are you sure? Wasn't it just 1986?

Another new year has arrived. I was sure it would, but still it's encouraging that I'm still around to see it.

On New Year's Eve morning, John and Rachel arrived for a visit. So excited to see them both ~ especially my baby boy. Who's my favorite child? Whichever one I'm currently with.

New Years' traditional neighborhood fireworks put the dogs into crazed anxiety allowing me the rare opportunity to sleep on the couch with Toby on my chest and Pearl at my side. At least until 1am and the fireworks stopped and I kicked their furry butts outside.

John celebrated his 19th birthday here with zip lining upside down in the trees of Haiku over at North Shore Zip. Typical.

Then up to Kapalua to attend the Hyundai Tournament of Champions. That would be a GOLF tournament. Out of the four of us, one was thrilled to be there. I'll let you figure out who that was.

We had so much fun with Rachel, I was sad to see her go. She didn't even seem fazed that John wore a dress to church:

Ok, it wasn't a dress, it was a lava-lava and nobody bats an eye if you wear one to church here. Traditional Poly wear.
So, it was a fun-filled, wonderful start to the New Year to have our baby boy visit us in Paradise. I think 2014 is going to be great!
