About Our Beginnings...

My photo
Hiro was born January 17th at 12:07 am at Kaiser hospital, 48 hours after the water broke. It was a natural birth, and a very positive experience. Judah was born January 1, 2010 at 1:08 pm 7 hours after the water broke. Judah was delivered at Andaluz Waterbirth center, which was a completely magical experience that we highly recommend to anyone having a normal healthy pregnancy. Malakai was born on December 23, 2011 after three days of inactive labor labor and three hours of active labor (three hours after the water broke). Kai was born at Andaluz as well, this time in "Sienna" the red room. It was a relaxing and delightful way to spend our first Christmas with Malakai.

Thanksgiving 2009

Johnson Thanksgiving 2009
The day before Thanksgiving, Papa (Marc Johnson, Erin's dad) returned from Sierra Leone.
The thanksgiving table was decorated in African style.
It was so good to have him back and hear of his travels!

Cousins!

Whenever it gets too quiet around our house, we know the kids are up to something.
At thanksgiving it got really quiet after the meal and sure enough, MeeAe and Hiro, partner's in crime were trying to unlock the door to go visit the horsey's by themselves.
Uncle Josh with his youngest daughter Elliana, now one month old!
Talking about Sierra Leone after the meal.

Bamma (Grandma Cheryl) brought puzzles home for Hiro to play with.
He loves them and learns a lot every time he does them!


Jackson -Iwata Thanksgiving 2009
Just one month ago, Nana remarried a nice man named Larry Jackson. He has two children living at home, Vela and Jordan, and this was our first holiday with Nana and Larry hosting. We had a very nice time!
As always, the house was busy with children. It was great to have everyone there...we didn't catch a clear pictures of Gabe or Arian, but it was great seeing them!
