Merry Christmas
We feel especially blessed this Christmas. It was wonderful to celebrate the birth of baby Jesus in the peace and quiet of our home with our daughters.
May God bless you and your family each and every day.

Jeep Ride Ella Papa Roxy
Saturday, 19 Sep 2020
Nearly every afternoon, Ella takes Papa and Roxy out for a spin in the Jeep.
We usually depart around 17:00 (5:00 pm) and head South to the “Lanikai Loop.” Spotify provides the tunes and Ella and Papa “sing” along.
This daily routine provides a much-needed break from the isolation of social distancing and 1L studies.
