I wish I still saw all the excitement in the little things. Just jumping over a little wave brings you enough glee to bring a smile to anyone. You are always wanting to go some where do some thing. Here you are playing in the waves with your friends just letting the waves crash over you. The three of you were laughing so hard. I pray life brings many times of laughter.</p>http://littlelei.tumblr.com/post/20047826285http://littlelei.tumblr.com/post/20047826285Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:42:41 -0400hawaiisunsetboysnorthshoreiceteaplease“<p>No matter how skilled or successful, we all have moments of doubt, failure and disappointment.

They were random and well not about you! I hope to help to save your adventures by this blog. That you will look back and see how you were loved and adored! You are the greatest gift we have ever been given. </p> <p>You are the sweetest thing ever. You love giving your dad and I kisses. You try to sneak in our bed in the middle of the night hoping we won&#8217;t notice. In fact some days you are very successful. You love love love pink. Yes, that is your favorite color even if daddy tries to get you to change your mind. You are set on it. </p> <p>You love Hugo boy, like nobody else. I think Hugo wishes you didn&#8217;t love him so much. </p> <p>You love movies, RIO is your favorite right now. My Iphone is practically yours ( I think you can work it better then I can)! You call your cousins all your brothers. Its so cute and all on your own. </p> <p>I am so in love with you! I can&#8217;t believe I get to call you my son! </p> <p>xo</p> <p>m</p> <p>p.s. your adoption was complete this last week. You now have our last name.

You melt people’s heart! Your love language is for sure quality time/people! You love love love people. Your favorite people for sure our your cousins (right now there are 4 boy cousin) you actually call them brothers, you started all on your own and us sisters loved it! I am not sure how you started it to be honest. I think I was trying to explain that these aunts were mommy’s sisters and then you just assumed these must be my brothers! All in all I love watching you with them when they come. You are the third oldest of the group and you watch the little ones with such attention. Here you are on the beach of Lanikai beach playing with the youngest brother/cousin! Just putting your arm around him!</p> <p>Thanks for all the love buddy!</p>http://littlelei.tumblr.com/post/15392341838http://littlelei.tumblr.com/post/15392341838Fri, 06 Jan 2012 03:55:11 -0500lanikai beachadoptioncousinsbrothersoceantwo boyshawaiikailuabrothersbestfriends.iceteaplease<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx5hpsE88m1r51txno1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Dear Le’i </p> <p>Happy New Year Buddy! </p> <p>I can’t believe its already 2012!  Its so exciting.  The best thing came in on Friday, your birth certificate. I am sure you are asking why this is such a big deal.   We can now travel the WORLD.  We can now apply for your PASSPORT.  We can not wait to take you places.  To see the world is one of the greatest blessings.  At least I believe.  I am sure our first visit international will be to your grandparents house in SWEDEN.  After that its wide open.  I hope you will be a boy who seeks to travel, who reads and wants to see. Who is passionate and yet compassionate for the poor and the needy.  I pray your travels will inspire you to bring change to this world. That you will be a man of change, ideas, a man who gives hope to the hopeless.  </p> <p>I love you my sweet boy!</p> <p>I can not wait for the many journeys we will have together. </p> <p>love your mama</p>http://littlelei.tumblr.com/post/15159635782http://littlelei.tumblr.com/post/15159635782Sun, 01 Jan 2012 22:01:00 -0500traveladoptionbirth certificatepassportmamaleidearsoniceteaplease
