I am also knitting a great little sweater with a bamboo yarn that is soo cool, and I am going to try and make a little periwinkle romper thing to go with it. I 'll post pics of that later.</span></div></div>kiilani-tonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16837000996873002927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26088602.post-16745517002613482802007-08-06T18:08:00.000-07:002007-08-06T18:56:24.782-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQm4PRBbxT3biJ3FGYTemek7XCr0gQPkXLJ3Wrb_4i5V7Q0vBk6UCz0YTTFMjZBIqhl4Ci0KZ_TDK1K7e1OmpQlW5ZgyS2bsKxz7ZP5t33cofkGNXGv8EOoRxZT_2mgB8W8ETckA/s1600-h/100_0052.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095762047701928450" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQm4PRBbxT3biJ3FGYTemek7XCr0gQPkXLJ3Wrb_4i5V7Q0vBk6UCz0YTTFMjZBIqhl4Ci0KZ_TDK1K7e1OmpQlW5ZgyS2bsKxz7ZP5t33cofkGNXGv8EOoRxZT_2mgB8W8ETckA/s320/100_0052.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1NL1I_-TGW7_wO2qMWOeNncvLekpiMkpCjYlrrFqzZILkGB8yQfHOlVefsBMK1kordSp9MricglIzb3OPXiZwFJFjod2WKm3S61FgVFLrRnFPWOR2v6gtLwdFySsWeUEMwUkRjw/s1600-h/100_0053.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095762069176764946" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1NL1I_-TGW7_wO2qMWOeNncvLekpiMkpCjYlrrFqzZILkGB8yQfHOlVefsBMK1kordSp9MricglIzb3OPXiZwFJFjod2WKm3S61FgVFLrRnFPWOR2v6gtLwdFySsWeUEMwUkRjw/s320/100_0053.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVk5TXfyoMBIa57KcVOqQvCrrak8OQM3iOvLb7DNOU53MPK5o9AvDpMAPE7YsEWE3C20nnsxDu70l9iZWFktxkVXpU20I3X6iVskwagzAZxslZ0Z36WaadpDdaUe9ckiruCPXtbQ/s1600-h/100_0054.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095762086356634146" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVk5TXfyoMBIa57KcVOqQvCrrak8OQM3iOvLb7DNOU53MPK5o9AvDpMAPE7YsEWE3C20nnsxDu70l9iZWFktxkVXpU20I3X6iVskwagzAZxslZ0Z36WaadpDdaUe9ckiruCPXtbQ/s320/100_0054.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3zYHClOcuFFmCs_Fwjc_f1O2ngVDbxfDyCGyzFWm2m_4vVlGwg_1sgreR_UnFfJQrbVyzN1o7tQxHWTi7HQ26z3XRD7sBsD7irGrELV3UzhcCgnPglN61a04QKfloFVnxGvUZw/s1600-h/100_0062.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095762099241536050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU3zYHClOcuFFmCs_Fwjc_f1O2ngVDbxfDyCGyzFWm2m_4vVlGwg_1sgreR_UnFfJQrbVyzN1o7tQxHWTi7HQ26z3XRD7sBsD7irGrELV3UzhcCgnPglN61a04QKfloFVnxGvUZw/s320/100_0062.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseldgw2sw40LxI2ayO4-7M_BzvZO4mAFrGlnqkQf1iasYsr8A0tpRv5tdkbcVzkP1hJgDP_Rljs4IlQLptTzxoQwq8zfZy92ioGDYiZQ03ZyPoL94OgkapID0F4-wTGjMU1zxfg/s1600-h/103_0303_2.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5095762103536503362" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhseldgw2sw40LxI2ayO4-7M_BzvZO4mAFrGlnqkQf1iasYsr8A0tpRv5tdkbcVzkP1hJgDP_Rljs4IlQLptTzxoQwq8zfZy92ioGDYiZQ03ZyPoL94OgkapID0F4-wTGjMU1zxfg/s320/103_0303_2.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">WOW -it's been hectic.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">we have had uncle jonathan visiting for a week ,which was awesome!!! he helped us discoverRJ licorice from LEvin. uncle jonathan is THE master swaddler...he knows how to administer the tightest inescapable swaddle in all of Aotearoa.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:georgia;">Kainamu also has had severe eczema, which has really sucked.. it started around the time jonathan was here and hit it's pinnacle when tasha arrived. it's under control ( i think , hope ) now.

i was craving <a href="http://luauking.com/laulaus.html">LAU LAu</a> for months- and today was my lucky day.. a woman came into my work to register for weaving class and she was from Hawai'i and we got to talking and of course we were talking about food- and local food that we both missed and food you can make here. and she brought up LAU LAU --which i have be craving!!!!!<br />she has found a local source for luau leaves ( which are taro leaves) and made lau lau and had some in her freezer and brought me some!!!!!!!! how cool is that!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br /> - i was suppose to go swimming after work - but those lau lau were calling me - i ate one - ONOOOOOOoooooooo and i might share with hubby or maybe not- I think the baby likes it more than hubby anyway--<br /><br />my nesting-maternal thing is really kicked into high gear now- because why else would i get excited about diapers- or nappies as they call them here in NZ ........<br />by the way other baby words that are different here are:<br />diapers=nappies<br />binky=dummy<br />crib=cot<br />nipple=teat<br />stroller=pram<br />baby = bub<br /><br />anyway- I have found the coolest baby stuff supplier here in NZ, <a href="http://www.plushbaby.co.nz">Aroha at Plush baby</a> ..<br />I got my cloth nappies,-real nappies" covers and a bunch of organic baby toiletries- Eco products from her . I didn't put the toiletries in the pics - like shampoo- lavender - massage oil - and soaps... and then i went out grocery shopping and bought all those other things in the pic- sterlising tabs, breast pads, newborn diapers for the first week, baby wipes-- i feel much better and more prepared - though i have tons of time.<br /><br />and lastly - the other pic of my Aby- he caught a little friend - bird and was playing with him -not hurting the little bird for hours- I am pretty sure the bird could fly away as it did a few times ( well not fly away totally - but flew around and landed again) and then Honey came along - and ripped the bird to shreds-very sad- but i wasn't going to touch the bird either way--kiilani-tonyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16837000996873002927noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26088602.post-1169014228221960732007-01-16T21:41:00.000-08:002007-01-16T22:10:28.240-08:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/1600/499806/100_0099.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/200/646537/100_0099.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/1600/83330/100_0097.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/200/4515/100_0097.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/1600/717210/100_0096.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/200/501391/100_0096.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/1600/766883/100_0098.jpg"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" height="236" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/1820/2731/200/285008/100_0098.jpg" width="200" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;color:#660000;">oops - i missed a week posting---</span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">getting back to the work groove was harder than i thought!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#660000;">yesterday some little boys knocked on the doors with strawberries for sale -all these for only $5.... my belly is 38.5 inches - not growing too fast... some days he is more active than others</span><br /><span style="color:#660000;"></span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">some good news - i am getting another 3/d ultra sound on monday- the ultrasound place lost the images that they were suppose to burn on a CD-- so i am happy i get an another chance to see him!!!
