Special News for Hannah & Michelle

Hi Girls,

I have some special news - on Thursday we will find out about 2 little girls who will soon come to live with us.

One girl is almost 1 years old. Her name is Lehua. The other girl's name is Carly Rose. She is almost 3 years old.

I know this is a a big surprise. It was a surprise for Daddy and me too. The social worker just called and asked us if we wanted more children in our family.

So after my airplane lands then Dad and I will go to the social worker's office. They will come home to us in afew days.

I know you are both ready to be big sisters. I know you will be kind and helpful to the 2 little girls. You can help today by making sure you put all your toys away and put the little toys up high so that Lehua doesn't get them in her mouth.

I love you!
Mom

Good Morning Hannah & Michelle!

I am having a very nice time learning to make books. Cousin Ally is a very good teacher. So far I have made 8 books of different sizes.

Tonight is my last night here in Portland. Tomorrow morning I will catch the plane home. I should be home by the time you get home from school.

Cousin Ally and Aunty Alo have a great big dog named Arlo. He is a Malamute. He has lots of white, black and gray fur. He has blue eyes. Aunty Alo rides her bike and Arlo runs along the side of her as she rides.

Michelle - Did you like Young Women last night? Dad said you went to see the movie "Up". I hope you will be able to go to Kamaaina Kids today!

Hannah - I was happy to hear that you read Mrs. Wishy-Washy. You are getting to be such a good reader.

I love you both very much. I know you are being good and being kind to all your friends and family.

Love,
Mom
