I'm in love with this face.
I mean, how does someone resist such a face?
They would have to be made of wood. Or iron. Or steel. Whatever people who do not melt into puddles of blubbery goo are made of when faced with such pouty lips, chubby cheeks and rolls of fat.
They simply can't be human. But me? I a big glop of blubbery goo when faced with my niece's adorable face. My sister, her husband, and their two children arrived in Hawaii late Wednesday night. They spend a few days on Oahu with David and I and are now spending this week on the Big Island. I already miss Anna.
Also, James is now huge. He's two going on five. Seriously.
On Thursday, we went for a hike to Makapuu lighthouse (see below) and then to Bellows AFS, my favorite beach on the island.
Bellows has the softest, most powdery sand of all the beaches, is the least crowded (because only military can access it on the weekdays), and has hot showers.
James enjoyed playing in the sand and destroying sand castles. And even though he used to LOVE beaches when he was younger (like 6 months ago), he was suddenly very afraid of the water.
He just wanted to play in the sand.
But as he watched his parents swim in the ocean he just couldn't stand it anymore and ran into the water.
The water is also a really pretty color at Bellows.
Look at that fist! He could so beat up on kids twice his age.
And once again, I'm a blubbery gloop of goo.
Geez, she doesn't even have to try, does she?

Geez, she doesn't even have to try, does she?On Friday, my sister and her family went to the Arizona Memorial and then I sent my sister and her husband away to go to dinner while I watched the kids.
For the record, Anna is a terrible flirt.
Especially with David. Apparently, she has no respect for our marital vows.
We tried to feed James dinner and David taught him how to growl and shake his fists while eating.
And when I would point my camera at him, James would lean over and give me this face.

On Saturday, we went to the Polynesian Cultural Center for the day. Of course, it rained the whole time we were there, but it was still fun and James enjoyed running around and watching all the female hula dancers and the drummers. Anna just giggled and gurgled as she always does and charmed every one she met. I can't wait to see them one more time before they leave the islands forever. I really miss having family around.

You have some serious Baby Eyes, Liz! :-D So when do Anna and James get a cousin?
In May. My sister Bobbi is expecting her first--a girl. Otherwise, I will not be procreating for some time, thank you very much.
Oh my goodness, what cuties!!! I'm glad they got to come visit you before you move half way across the world.
