Some pics of us and our house and our beautiful view!

Aloha!

Happy New Years family and friends!! Ok, I swear this is not going to be a quarterly report. Life has been pretty crazy for the last few months and chasing Marlowe around can be taxing. A lot has changed since September. We are officially moved to the Big Island of Hawai'i. The family packed up and brought a few bags and are calling it good...paradise. We are temporarily living down in Ocean View, which is in south point, near the southern most part of the US. We have a beautiful new, fully furnished 3 bedroom house with 180 degree views of the ocean. So we get sunrise and sunset. It is located in between Hilo and Kona...a little bit country. We are on the job hunt. Hopefully I can find a job in Horticulture, growing coffee or macadamia nuts or orchids or something and Jeff can stay at home with M dog!!

Marlowe is doing great! She is growing soo fast. Last month she got two teeth (finally!) and learned to crawl on Christmas day. She is cruising around, but of course, this little girl is not satisfied with just crawling. She is constantly pulling herself into standing position on anything she can grab. So naturally is falling every five minutes, lots of crying, ouch. Maybe she will start walking at eight months like her mom did. Marlowe is taking solid food really well thanks to her Nana shoving it down her throat for the few weeks we were home. Her favorite is prunes, probably because it she has amazing BM's after!!

Well, just wanted to update you a bit. Got to go watch the sunset! It sure is cooling down, about 71 degrees now...burrr. miss amd love you all!!! xoxo

love

Let it snow! September 30

We woke up today to find snow falling on this dry land. It feels good to see it finally getting a drink. I decided to start this blog so that all of our family and friends can watch Marlowe grow no matter the physical distance between us. She is growing so quickly! For anyone who does not know. Jeff, Marlowe and I are still living in Bozeman, Montana. Jeff is currently taking some prerequisite classes at MSU before applying to nursing school, while working two jobs. I have been enjoying being a mother and working VERY part-time. I still have my landscaping business, which has slowed down quite a bit since Marlowe was born. I didn't expect to take to motherhood so easily, but as Jeff says, I am obsessed. But not in a scary overbearing way, just totally smitten. What can I say she is perfect! for now anyway...
