Vakalala: August 2013

We've been busy with the kids and I've started homeschooling Mere more officially. We've been doing class for 2 years already, but now I'm getting more structured and longer lengths of time, it's very fun (most of the time) and we're learning lots! Mere is really growing to be responsible and likes to pack her backpack with toys and clothes for her and Nasui and Glenn when we go out and to bake things for the neighbors. She is still very social and always "making friends" at the parks. Glenn is still shy until he warms up, and then he can be a bit rough and rambunctious, testing limits but still very sweet, loving animals and good to his little brother as Mere is. Nasui is growing and saying some words like cocoa, uh oh, baa baa, moo moo, da, mom, truck and the most us "whas tha" what's that! I guess I ask him that a lot. He's into playing with Mere and Glenn which can be hard cause he usually breaks things, but it goes with the age! Saki and I are just so happy to have each other!!!!!!! I love being married! He is amazing!

Been busy with new Vonu Designs Products (www.vonudesigns.com)

Visit with relatives-we took Aunty Mei to walk on the Golden Gate which is quite an experience!

Marin County Fair-all the rides are free and lines we one ride wait. EXCEPT the last ride of course-bumper cars, which they REALLY wanted to try so Nasui was melting down by the time we were halfway through the LONG line but it was Glenn's favorite, he went on the carousel and was terrified-it was sad-I couldn't lift him off the horse since I was standing between his horse and Nasui's , and the fun house (mirrors and slide and maze) but no other rides until bumper cars.

Glenn's birthday-he chose those store bought frozen bean and cheese burritos and Saki's parents came over. We also had pot pie and the kids helped decorate an airplane cake. I like things to look nice, but am realizing sometimes it's more abt the kids learning and enjoying what they're doing...
