Blog Under Construction

So we realize our blog hasn't been updated in quite some time and the name, "Life in a Shoebox" isn't really relevant anymore. Don't worry, we're working on that. If you're interested in seeing the most recent pictures of us and the adorable Hannah Grace, you can check them out on Kimiko's Facebook page.

More Pictures from the Trip

Here are some more pictures from our trip to Northern California.

James and Koda

Doing his best Popeye impersonation (notice James in the background with the 3-D glasses on!)
Faith, on an egg hunt in the backyard.
Titus

Grace
Apparently Keanna found a very interesting Rolly Polly on the ground.

These babies are usually pretty content, but they still have their moments...and they're just so cute, so I had to take pictures. Koda is above and Lukas is below.

Eating a yummy birthday Sundae!A water fight broke out in the backyard, so Titus had to wear a "big person" shirt while his clothes dried. :)Kristin's getting her fix.Hey! You look kind of familiar!!!So happy to be with Uncle James!!!

More "After" pictures

As I was having a few technical difficulties posting pictures last time, I didn't finish with the "after" photos. Here they are:





And a picture from our trip up North. Here's James, holding Koda. More pictures to follow...

Some Pictures for Your Viewing Pleasure

Crazy Life

We've been crazy busy the last few weeks. For those of you who don't know, we recently bought a condo, so have been going to work all day, going to the condo, cleaning and painting until some crazy hour of the night or morning, then starting all over again the next day. :) The painting is pretty much all done, and we had new carpet installed. Last Saturday, we finally moved in. Tonight I was able to start unpacking some of our boxes and I feel that I've actually made a small dent in the process, which is motivating to keep on going!!! Tomorrow morning I will be going garage sale-ing, as one of the HOA's down the street is having their community garage sale. Hopefully I'll be able to find some much-needed furniture at some good deals. Anyway, hopefully I'll be able to keep you all updated and post some pictures of our new place!

Mexico!!!

Well, since we're long overdue for a post, and we have some new pictures to post, I thought I'd catch up a bit. We just got back from a Mexican Riviera cruise on the Golden Princess. I don't think Mexico was James' or my first choice of a destination, but we had a great time, regardless! Here are a few pictures for your viewing enjoyment:

Some overdue pictures...

Wouldn't be Christmas without some carols!

We got Keanna a flashlight for Christmas. But not just any flashlight. It was PURPLE!!!
