More HB-5 months

Joy pointed out that the pics of HB aren't the most happy. I sometimes forget the distinction. I look at a photo and see...oh, good composition, great lighting and colors. Most people see...oh, how come the baby isn't smiling. So, we may not have gotten many smiles on camera but here's a few more expressions.







I called in sick yesterday...I think I developed some weird sort of heartburn/possible cardiac problem. I have these weird burning cramps right behind my sternum. I don't like to go to the doctor when I can save myself the copay and google the symptoms. Didn't seem to find anything that specifically matched my symptoms so I had to create a new hybrid syndrome, a cross between heartburn and a heart attack. Boy, I hope it leans more towards the heartburn. And like any good "google-educated" doctor, I came up with a treatment plan of a non-spicy or acidic diet, no soda, and lots of milk and ice cream. Seems to be working. By last night, I was well enough to go to dinner at Chris and Leya's house and meet their baby girl, Lily. She really does look like a mini-Chris except she has these really big, dark eyes.

So my naughty niece ran away from home again. She's been gone the entire week. My sister managed to find a phone number and we tracked her down. Google is such an amazing device. I wish I didn't have to work today so I could go pick her up and my sister wouldn't have to load up three babies into a car. My coworker suggested that I take a lunch break and use a blue-and-white to pick her up. Hmmmph!!! maybe I should. But at least I'm relieved that we found her. Did I mention that Scott and I are sending our kids to board at Kamehameha Schools, even if they don't get in.
