With heavy hearts, we headed up north to Redding to spend time with family and attend services for Papalew. We were a little nervous about taking a newborn on the road, but Kai did absolutely GREAT! And we made good time!!
My family had to say goodbye to my sweet Papalew last week. My dads dad was such a fun man! As a kid, my memories of him include him and Mamalew taking us to the zoo and playing at the park and riding bikes! I know he loved his grandkids! We all have a special place for him in our hearts. The hardest part was seeing my dad and Mamalew go through the process of losing him. My heart goes to them and my Aunts who have to know their father is no longer with us. With heavy hearts, we headed up north to Redding to spend time with family and attend services for Papalew. We were a little nervous about taking a newborn on the road, but Kai did absolutely GREAT! And we made good time!! We had lunch with my sweet friend! And her adorable kiddies! Keane and Rio are a little less than a year apart and they are just so cute together!!! We loved playing with the idea that their friendship would someday blossom to something more. Although, they have no idea what we're giggling about! HAHA! I had an eye dr. appointment while I was in town and I had to play with the frames and the kiddos!! Amia LOVES her new cousin!! We had a little family photo shoot at the lake. Can't really share the good ones, but here is some teasers and pics of the kids! Casey's birthday!! So glad it worked out that we could be there and celebrate with him! The kids playing around We had sometime that night for dinner and relax time with family. My cousin is having her first baby and since I was in town, I got to crash her shower! It was so BEAUTIFUL-just perfect for a beautiful mother-to-be! The visit did go pretty fast and it was hard to have to say goodbye! We truly love our family in Redding and hope to get another visit soon and with happier circumstances! Getting a little big of play time in before we hit the road.

Thank you everyone for such blessed memories! I'm so glad that Keane and our family have a place we can always call home!
Thank you to my mom who gave me a lot of these pictures from her new camera!! Hope you all enjoy! xox My sweet ol' laptop computer, Bessie, took a severe beating last weekend by Keane. He wants so badly to be like mom and dad working on the computer, but this time it was just a disaster! It has actually been fixed, but the Internet connection still needs some attention. So, I'll only have a few pictures from my phone until I can get in some computer time. This blog update is all via mobile site. Last Sunday was Grandparents Day! We want to send special wishes to Great grandma Evelyn Furukawa,Great grandpa Alex Furukawa,Great grandma Alice Etherton, Great grandpa Jerry Etherton, MamaLew and PapaLew, Grandma Faye Furukawa, Grandpa Ken Furukawa, PapaJoe and OmaGigi!! We love and miss you all! Each of you have a special place in our hearts. xox We went to a friends for dinner this week and they have 3 amazing boys! Their youngest is only 4 weeks apart from Keane! Keane always has the best time with them! And he'd never pass on opportunity to bath with his buddies!! Ha! This was so fun!!! We had another fun trip to the zoo I can't wait to share, but it's on my other camera and I'll have to wait for Bessie to work correctly before I can post about it! Sorry such a short update! moowah! 💋 We just got back from a family vacation to Redding! It was so nice! A few days up north is really good for the soul. Plus we have such great family to spend time with! I have a lot of pics, so I will just start those to tell the stories! From Day 1 Keane LOVED the big backyard!Meeting AmiaOh MY!
