We went to a garage sale in Manoa this weekend and Sophie and Daniel each got to spend a dollar. Sophie got a "beanless (i.e. inflatable) bean bag" that came in what turned out to be an ant-infested box. Daniel got a lightsaber. I don't think real Jedis are allowed to get their weapons at garage sales. Although, come to think of it, maybe that's why there weren't many left by the time Luke Skywalker showed up.
Last week, Ryan took Sophie and Daniel to a winter league baseball game in Pearl City. The Waikiki Beach Boys vs. the Honolulu Sharks. They wore their Brooklyn Cyclones and Mets caps and still got a ball to take home.
Sophie finally finished reading her entire children's Bible (700+ pages) and thus earned her Daddy's permission to begin reading Harry Potter. I've pointed out many times that since the last Harry Potter book actually quotes the New Testament - in two places! - not to mention that Harry himself is sort of a Christ figure, the series is probably not going to lead her down the path of perdition. But making Sophie read the Bible first is Ryan's way of hedging his bets.
Please keep praying for Ryan as he preaches this Sunday! Thanks for praying for me as I played piano these past Sundays. It was a fun challenge, and I'm very glad to hand it back to the professionals!
Upcoming event to keep in prayer: This week our church will be participating in a ministry called Family Promise, cooking meals for homeless families who are being temporarily housed in local churches. A group will be staying at our host church, Central SDA, this week.
Here's a picture of Daniel praying. Actually, it's a picture of him trying to avoid having his picture taken. (He fell at Sophie's school and got a small bump and scratch, hence the band aid.) But it makes a much better ending to the blog if we pretend otherwise.

Always love the pictures of your kids. If you remember, Jacob wields a pretty mean lightsaber too! Also glad to hear that you're playing piano- wish I coulda heard you!
