Goodbye'i Hawai'i

Hard to believe our time in Hawaii is almost up. We've had a good - and successful - trip, despite the jet lag and colds we've all been fighting over the last few days. We did manage to hit the beach a few times between our visits to various government offices, which was nice, but we didn't do much else. In the end, we got what we came for - a certificate of citizenship and a US passport - and that's all that matters. We're off to Nebraska tomorrow evening. Here's hoping someone sleeps on the plane!

A few pictures of our Hawaiian hiatus:

The lagoon (a perfect, wave-free beach for toddlers!)

Hauling sand...

...and more sand

Hauling Denis!

Yeah! I've been wondering how you all have been doing! Have fun in Nebraska. We have end of the year colds too - I hope the US summer is remedy we need.

So great to see your smiling faces! Hope all is well - it appears that it is. Meeting up with the Cannons tonight while they are in-town (DC). Thinking of you -
