Baby Rays

News is: We have now decidedly begun to call our little Gabriella "Gigi."  Our extended fam does call her Brie and Baby Apple still; and all those names are fine and dandy.  We call her several other nicknames too; we just have centered in on "gigi."  Our sister-in-law, Amy, took these pics with her new camera!

Mamalea and Gigi

We were so excited to see Stephen's Mom in March right before her RETIREMENT!!!!! That's right... after so many years of working full-time & being a mom of 5 wild and crazy boys, Mamalea retires - way to go Mom.  

She came to town to be the Main Speaker at Antioch Wheaton's Women Retreat, and left every woman in tears [i heard it was a good cry :)].  Here are a few pics of Mom holding baby Gigi.  And a video of gigi sucking her thumb. stinkin cute
