#tbt This Laugh

by Papa K on July 8, 2015

A little early for a #tbt, but stumbled across this video from two years ago tonight and it made me smile. Lauren still pretty much has the same laugh which is awesome…

Thank you Grandma Gail and Papa Cal for taking care of my girls all last week. By all accounts they had an amazing time. Special thanks for letting us get Lauren going on the potty training in your home instead of ours 🙂

Chats with Maile

by Papa K on July 6, 2015

Last week while Maile was in Hawaii we would have little chats in the afternoon over Facetime. For some reason they felt different than our normal conversations. We talk all the time, of course, but when we are home there always seems to be something else competing for our attention – a toy, a game, a little sister. Getting 10 minutes just the two of us is pretty rare. Christine says Maile often blabbers to her on the way home from school, but by the time I get home from work, I don’t get quite as much detail. I guess since I was not there, I was privy to the “blabber” – and I loved it. It was really nice just talking with her, hearing about her day, telling her about mine. Goofing around a little bit. And yes, some tears too.

She also seemed older to me – made me realize how crazy it is that in just a few short days she will be 6 years old.

In any event, I really enjoyed it. Going to find some ways to make it a more regular occurrence even when we are both home in SF!

Sometimes we were happy...

Like her big sister before her, Lauren loves giving manicures. Freshly supplied while in Hawaii courtesy of Grandma Gail, she set to work. As you’ll see, Lauren takes her craft very, very seriously!

Even Papa got in on the action…

Dad note: The multi-tasking here is epic – I’ve never seen a nail salon that had the Red Sox games on. Lauren might be on to something…

Let’s just say we don’t come across many lizards in San Francisco…

Pretty brave though – they were really going after it!
