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.

Hiro's 2nd Birthday



Hiroshi Joshua Iwata turned two years old! We can't believe out little man has grown so much! He is so independent and lively...he brightens out life so much!
For Hiro's second birthday party, we invited a bunch of his buddies to the Children's Museum.
It was a blast! Thank you everyone for coming! It was a blessing having you there!
I'm 2 years old today!

We did a surf theme for the party, to go with Hiro's new surf themed bedroom.
