So cousin Rod has nicknamed the baby, "Jeli" = Jeffrey + Lisa.

So Jeli had his/her video debut today. We got some video clips that we have to edit and post. But what was amazing was how wiggly he/she was in there. It looks more like a baby now and at 12 weeks it's quite amazing how active.

A few more weeks and we'll find out about the gender of the baby.

So we began our vacation to Hawaii two weeks ago with some frustration. Enroute from home to the airport gate, I had lost the house keys. I was the last to leave the house. I know it was somewhere in my bag, or was it? We were the last group to board so I had J contact his sister and one of our neighbors to double check that I did not leave it on the door or dropped in on the driveway. So for two weeks I didn't know where they were. When we arrived at the airport I checked lost and found. A whole drawer full of Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, key fobs, including some key fobs that resembled security passes for buildings. Wow a whole drawer of 2 weeks worth of lost keys. To no avail mine were not there.

So we got a lift home and luckily J had his house key. We brought in all our stuff and headed out for late dinner. Unfortunately when we returned we had no house key and the door to the kitchen was locked. So J tried to get into the house and to our satisfaction the house is completely secure! But how do we get in, we called J's sister and we picked up our extra set at her house and came back home. What a crazy series of events, we start our trip losing a key and even after getting into the house we still had to face being locked out.

Well the last place to check was the transport shuttle we used, they had my keys. I'll be picking them up tomorrow.

Btw, 24 hour locksmith goes for about $125 in our area, which we didn't want to pay.

J & L in Kauai

Gonzales Cousins in Maui

The G Clan is fun and wacky as usual. The house is totally amazing.

The first morning we woke up there was a rainbow outside the big windows. It was such an amazing view.

Went to a luau last night and went as a whole gang to shop at Costco. Talk about madhouse. I wish I could have had a drink, all I could get was fruit drinks. Major bummer. The food was not amazing and my nausea was full-on during dinner. I ended up tossing my cookies just after 3 bites of dinner. Dessert was uneventful. But the dancers were truly amazing. No fire related dancing.

I promise photos will come up when I'm back. Connection is shared with several here so would take a while to upload stuff.

Been in North Shore since Saturday. Having a blast! The weather was amazing when we woke up, amazing view from our room and we ended up at the beach around 9am this morning. Meeting up with the G Clan in Maui on Saturday for a few days to celebrate some monumental birthdays! Photos will come up shortly. Lots of drama when we left...more later.

NY Times did a short but sweet short trip down memory lane for me.

36 Hours in Hong Kong(Free Reg Required)

One thing is they focused too much on Kowloon which is more like the old school touristy spots. While on the other hand there is alot more to see in Causeway Bay, Lai Kwai Fong, Central, and even parts of Wan Chai. I think they failed to mention Hong Kong Disney too :) I would have added more food places near SoHo as well. I wish we could go back before the baby is born.

So far J has been declined at Wharton and Stanford. We're super bummed but now all we can do is pray and wait for Cal & Harvard.

Ok to my friends and family who have had children and would like to provide any kind of advice...please do so by clicking on the comments!
