Isaac is such a handful. He was very quiet one morning. Then I saw he was creating Lion King. He cried when it was time for a bath.



Last Sunday he fell and sliced his chin open. It looked like he had two mouths. I felt sick. Luckily Ephraim viewed this gore as simple tissues and vessels, so he took Isaac to the ER to get the chin taped together.


Talking to friends, I learned that every little boy slices his chin open sometime. So I'll try to be ready for Owen's turn. Gag!

Snail Mail

We don't use the mail for anything local. To pay bills, for example, we drive around once a month to drop off payments for phone, electricity, rent, etc. It's just easier that way.

Check out the expiration date on this insurance notice. It was stamped August 6, 2008 on the envelope, and we got it today. This letter really could have made it to us faster on a snail. It took over a year to travel 8 miles (as the crow flies, 2 miles). Maybe the postman had trouble figuring out where on earth "Pago Apgo" is...?

Really?! Oh yes, really.

Meet Alfred

He's our big gecko. He lives behind the clock. He loves to get into our garbage at night and leaves little droppings. Someday we'll get a full body shot. I guess I could just lift up the clock, but I wanna give the guy some privacy.

Goodbye, October.

Sheesh, who knew that 31 days could take so long? And are you also so scheduled already that November feels half way over?

Well, here are some key events for us in October.

General Conference, Stake Conference, and Primary Program--spiritual feast
Ephraim attended a training in Florida leaving me on "Tsunami Island" for 2 weeks.
He attended our sister-in-law Connie's funeral on the Big Island on his way home.
On that same day, I attended my friends' Shin and PuHee Woo's funeral.
The Browns moved to Michigan, leaving us an empty house next door and empty-hearted.
Owen's got 4 teeth and worms his way across the floor.
We owned a kitten for a day (easy come, easy go).
Halloween brought Miss Muffet, her friend Spider, and lots of candy.


And some photos:





Okay November, bring it on.
