Living Art Marine Center

 On Oahu there is so many opportunities for kids to explore Marine life. Last week we had the opportunity to go to the Living Art Marine Center in Honolulu- totally recommend it! It is very affordable and perfect for toddlers. Harps learned all about sea creatures, touched them, and then made an amazing t-shirt afterwards with a fish stencil.

As for baby Liam- we are officially in our 36th week! Almost full term but not quite... We are hoping he arrives sometimes in Mid- March (I am hoping the second week of March). Haha but as we all know... babies arrive when they want!! Tomorrow I am planning on posting pictures of his nursery- I just need to finish sewing some pillows (nothing like last minute, right?).

Happy Valentine's Day! (sorta random post to follow!)

Happy Valentine's Day from Harper Girl!

 Harps and I had "big" plans to spend the day at the beach... we got there and it started raining! Oy. So we are enjoying a stay at home day instead! Will is gone, off training, so we are making sure to eat extra chocolate for him.

When Will was getting ready for his training and Harps thought his "backpack" was hysterical! So big for such a little girl.

I have spent most of the week remembering my sweet Grandma Alice who passed away this past weekend. She was an amazing inspiring lady (who raised 5!! girls!). She touched many and I am so fortunate to have had her as a Grandma! I am lucky enough to be close with both sets of Grandmas/Grandparents and I am so excited that H will have that bond as well. It is such a unique relationship and that is a huge blessing. Unfortunately with baby W arriving soon, my doctor won't let me make the long flight from Hi --> Mn but I am so happy everyone else could be there to remember and celebrate her life.

and....

Liam's nursery is almost done... and we have almost finished getting everything we need!!! I'll post pictures soon of his nursery. It is crazy how much can change in the baby supply world in just 2 years. Golly. Fortunately, with our second, we have almost everything saved from H and I think (or at least we are) more relaxed with our second already.... Will and I are both like.... ehh does he really need that? Haha we wayyy over bought with Harps. BUT The most exciting additions to our ever-growing baby supplies are...

Aden and Anais swaddle blankets. I just start collecting a couple and I am obsessed.... they have a WHOLE collection of burp clothes, swaddlers, etc. I am not sure how I missed the boat on these with H lady but they seem to be a must have for warmer climate (and in general)... I'll let you know in a couple of weeks!

The BOB Duallie. This is suppose to be the bestttttt double jogger. I am SO excited to use this. Hopefully this will help inspire me to get back in shape asap. (there is an awesome carseat adapter so I can take both out for a run!)
