Yes, we are still alive!

Long time no update, I know! We're here! Hawaii is even more wonderful than I remember, I think it's because I get to actually live here with my family this time around. We're still living in a hotel because we're holding out for the perfect house, but I think we're just about there. Romy transitioned to the five hour time change beautifully and she seems to be responding very well to all the new changes. She does have her moments with boredom because none of her toys have arrived yet and she's been stuck sleeping in a mini co-sleeper that doesn't give her much room. Yet she's doing great overall.

My sister and her family arrived shortly after us and it's been so much fun having them around. Romy really gets a kick out of he cousins. She's been "following directions" really well lately. She can now clap, give kisses, blow raspberries, and do the "Seminole" (clapping her hand over her mouth like an Indian....I know, I know, sooo not P.C) whenever she's asked and has even grasped the concept of the word "No," well kind of anyway.

We met a few of her doctor's and we'll be meeting her "team" over the next few weeks. They all seem really wonderful and knowledgeable so far.

Here are some pictures of the coolest kid I know:

Romy and her megawatt smiles!


The east side of the island, is this place gorgeous or what??

These are pretty yummy too!

Romy on the plane, she did great considering it was an 8 hour flight!

Shining that smile

July 4th in San Antonio, she loved the sparklers but was scared of everything else
