Hello Again!

Hi Everyone!

Isn't it just amazing how time just ZINGS by?
We've been busy for months, (well, maybe since the start of the year) and have totally lost track of our blog! OOPS

Maloa is finally on the mend from all her injuries of the last year. Its been a long haul and a lot of work to get back in good physical condition. After months of physical therapy, she is now able to get back to the gym for regular workouts, and can pretty much resume normal activities. Normal..hmmm what does that mean for Maloa? Maybe she learned a few things from this experience and when doing fun things, think before she just dives right into the extreme version of whatever she happens to be doing at the time!

We've been spending more time at home, working on little projects. That also could translate to - due to the state of the economy, its time to take a step back and review our crazy shopping sprees. ( And we love to shop!) Whatever it is, its good having her home .

We've been working in the yard.She planted a few shrubs and I have not once tried to bring them into the house. Maloa used to put silk flowers and plants in the yard and patio, because I would pull them out and bring them in the house. (TEEHEE) I had to keep busy while she was gone.Teach her to leave me alone!

Maloa went to Disneyland and had a blast! Mom and Dad treated Maloa and her niece Joviann to a vacation in Calif. They also got to visit relatives and her 96 year old grandmother! I got to have nonstop play with my friends Pinot, Bentley and Sydney ! I stay with them when Maloa goes away.I was wiped out and it took days to recoup!!

So we've been busy with work, Aloha festivals, birthday parties, girl day parties(mostly about the girls getting together for wine and gab) face painting jobs. Graduations and baby showers are upon us. Dinners and lunches with friends ,old and new. Its been a pretty full almost half a year.

The intense heat of the southwest desert will soon be upon us, and we have some indoor projects planned. I think it involves paint, but not the kind Maloa does on canvas and pottery.(Which by the way, she has been doing a lot more of! This is great healing therapy for her)

OK, so we'll try to get on the ball a little more with this blog.

Wishing you all a safe and happy summer , wherever you may be.

Blessings
Makena and Maloa
