When I was saying holy cow about the cell phone bill, I was trying to be funny. You know like those commercials "you used how many minutes?!?!?!" I didn't mean stop calling. Yeah it was a bad bill, but that was mostly talking to real estate agent and esrow people and loan officer and all the other people you call during moves (changing addresses and such). We knew it would be horrible, but figured the house was worth it, we couldn't just tell them now hold on I know I need to talk to you about the house, but I'm out of minutes, could you call back on my next billing cycle, I know I've only got so long to close, but I'm afraid of bad bills.
So look forward to your next call, Märia Read More...

I just got my cell phone bill..... Read More...

I took Seporah to her well baby check up this morning and she is a big girl. 14pounds, 11ounces. That's above the 95th percentile. I actually thought she was bigger than that, even though that is big. We've been using size 3 diapers which are for 16-24pound babies and they fit her pretty well (Guess she's just chunks around the middle, I like her that way though). So I guess I'm feeding her pretty well (boy is that ever a full time job). She does have super sensitive skin, even for a baby. We confirmed that. Because when you touch her, she turns red, even if it's just a light touch. And she has a diaper rash that's been there since the day after she was born (and yes we have tried everything we can to get rid of it). Read More...

What's the classic date everyone with children jokes about? "Where you guys going?" "Costco, we have kids!" Well actually we didn't go to Costco, but we went to somewhere just as good: Sam's Club. We got our first warehouse card there, and we bought it for the diapers. Whew...those get expensive... But anyways it was a lot of fun. We'll go there just for the tasteys next time (Steven says he never used the word tasteys, so that's where people give out samples of cookies or whatever). That's about it, tune it next time to hear about our navel lint.

Well Dad (Russell Albright) just called me and he's running a marathon this weekend in Kuwait. However Hawaii cell phone coverage sucks and it went out before I could say Go Dad Go! We're all rooting for you!
So "GO, DAD, GO! WE'RE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!!"

Well we now know why Polynesians have a little more fat deposits in general as compared to other people. Food in Hawaii is wonderful. We've eaten Japanese sushi, Korean gyoza, Italian pasta, Hawaii delicacies (except for poi and spam, we stayed away from that :), gourmet pizzas (for those of you that know me know I don't really eat pizza and I ate these) and others, and everything is great. I don't think we would have gone to so many restaurants except for the fact we're living in a hotel and get tired of microwave dinners. Everything we've eaten here is well above average (Actually there is one exception a Chinese restaurant that had to have served the worst food ever, but we won't go back there). So we've got the low down on food here and I've come to grips with no Olive Garden on Oahu. Read More...

Well, someone must have put in a good word for us with The Big Guy because we have been very blessed lately. Seporah is doing wonderfully. Two nights ago she only woke up twice the whole night. We were so excited, we kinda paid for it last though, she woke up 6 times (and we really can't ignore her being in the same room). However we are very hopeful. She continues to grow bigger and stronger everyday. And we get smiles out the ears (however she still won't do it much for the camera). AND eating time has decreased significantly. Only 20 minutes instead of 60-90 (no lie). Read More...

Hey everyone. I know you guys all thought I dropped off the edge of the planet, but I indeed have yet to find it. My adventures to find this mystic photo site are quite interesting and I thought you might want to hear about it. Read More...

Well we're buying a condo, the offers been accepted and everything, we'll close March 31st! YEAH! We are very excited. Not only for buying a home and everything but also to get out of the hotel. Hotels are all right, but if you're actually living in them, that's another story. Plus Seporah definately needs her own room. She's 2 months and the longest she's ever slept at a time is 4 hours (and that's only happened a couple times, usually it averages 2 1/2 hours at a time). We're figuring when she gets her own room she'll sleep longer (don't get us wrong, she's still a great baby, just a bad sleeper). Read More...
