8 Months

A little late, as usual, but here nonetheless!

Mikah is so freaking handsome. While I’m not one for beauty pageants, I recently entered Mikah into the Regis and Kelly Beautiful Baby Contest. I think the prize is worth it- 1 winner will receive $125,000 toward a collage education, and 4 runner ups will receive $25,000 for a college education… Plus some other stuff, but the fund for college is our motivation for doing it. It’s a long-shot, but nothing to lose!



It’s a kitty totem pole.

In other news, Ben and I have been preparing for a trip to Hawaii! As mentioned, we spent this past Christmas with just the 3 of us (and the kitties). While my family doesn’t usually celebrate Christmas anyway, I still felt a little melancholy around New Years. So I called my mom and booked a last minute ticket to Hawaii (off season tickets + 10% off sale for total of under $540 for 2 people!).

Ben and Mikah have never been to Hawaii so I am very excited for them to see where I grew up. More importantly i’m happy that my extended family will finally get a chance to meet Mikah before he gets too old.
