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.

Mother's Day May 9, 2010

After the baby dedication, we had a relaxing Mother's Day at the Johnson Farm

Mamo and Judah cuddling
It was warm enough for the boys to lose their shirts and play ball together.

I'm so proud to be a Mommy to my Boys!

Baby Dedication May 2010

A group of families decided to dedicate themselves to raising their babies in a Godly environment. It was fun stating next to our friends and with what we hope to be, our kids future friends.

There were two more families up there...5 babies all together.




Portland Family Day!

We set aside a Saturday in April to enjoy Portland as a family together.
We started our day at Besaw's cafe, one of our favorite Portland Brunch haunts.
Matching Daddy and Hiro, late brunch at Besaw's
From Besaw's we hopped on the street car...
It was Judah and Hiro's first time on the streetcar...
...And we got off at the PSU Farmer's Market..Mmm...Veggies!
Judah fell asleep. I loved this hat, but I couldn't buy it.

From the market we walked around Portland...check out the sign over Hiroshi's head

All loaded up and refreshed for the week!

Our Community

We are so blessed with the most amazing community!
Our "community" is the people that love and support us, who walk through life with us, enjoy meals with us, and laugh with us. We have a great group of friends at our church, Grace & Glory. Many of our friends at church have recently had a baby or will have on in the very near future.
