still homeless

We were officially unsuccessful in our home search in Colorado. Not all was wasted; however, as we are now thoroughly aquainted with all the different area of the city, and have a much much better idea of what part of the city we will eventually try to find something.
anyway, we still had a very good trip.

I was literally DREADING the return trip because it was a direct flight from Denver to Honolulu right in the middle of the day. i thought it was going to be a disaster, but the girls were basically little angels. well, aside from 1 small breath holding spell with a brief passing-out episode. on the bright side, no seizure! :) really, though, there was probably less than 10 minutes combined total of crying out of the 7.5 hours of flying, which i think is pretty good! We had lots of fellow travelers comment on how well behaved the girls were, which of course made me so very proud of my little girls.

when we arrived home we had the photo CD from Jacquie Ryan Photographic (the pictures we had made back around Nova's first birthday). I will post some of them here for your viewing pleasure! I love these pics because they are so representative of the girls' personalities. They have a very different feel than the pics we had taken last year for Juneau's first birthday. It's funny to look back at the difference 7.5 months makes! There seem to be one million great ones of Juneau, she was just exceptionally photogenic that day. Nova doesn't have quite as many that turned out as good, but there are still plenty of adorable nova pics as well. this is just a little sampling of the group.
