Alo-ha!

It is astonishing just how much extra stuff is needed to bring a baby out and about. I may have mentioned that the trunk on our mini-SUV was practically full before we left for our US road trip. Well, it is apparently no different for the casual family function. We had dinner with Sarah's daddy's family tonight and just for that, we had to lug with us her diaper bag, dinner and a Thifty Foods bag chock-full of toys to keep her well-entertained. Needless to say, we are very glad that we bought the new car for the additional space is priceless!

Anyway, Sarah is becoming much more social these days and I think she thoroughly enjoyed the company at dinner. To make this weekly event more special, Auntie Wendy and Uncle Kevin brought back a bunch of goodies from their vacation to Maui (we are so jealous). As usual, Sarah scored big again - she received her very first lei, a Hawaiian print dress that will be perfect for a day at the beach, a Classic Pooh cordoroy jacket and a second summer dress. Mahalo Auntie Wendy & Uncle Kev!
