Lillie is ours FOREVER now!!! Today we sealed Lillie to us in the Hawaii temple. It was a short but very sweet ceremony. Lillie looked so cute in her white dress. Her family was there to welcome her to the family forever!!! It was a special day.

We took Lillie to a Japanese Bon Dance. Here she is dressed in a kimono. Our little Chinese girl has become Japanese now!!

We took Lillie to the Hilo farmer's market. The produce was so fresh and cheap and the flowers were beautiful! We are so jealous that there is no such place like this in DC.



Here is our sweet Lillie relaxing in the sun! She loved swinging in the hammock!

Here is Lillie and grandma enjoying the ocean. This was Lillie's first time seeing the ocean and playing in the sand. She was mezmerized by it!

By the end of trip, Lillie was tired. Here she is waving bye to the island of Hawaii! The second picture is of Lillie looking cool in her glasses!

Lillie was also educated in the art of the Hawaiian way!! By the end of the day all she wanted to do was crash on the floor of the museum, as you can see from the third picture in this set.

Grandma took us shopping all over the island and spolied Lillie to no end!! Here we are at several of the shopping places on the island!!

This is Lillie's third cousins!! She has such a big family!! She loved playing with them.

We went to see the grounds of the Kona temple. It was beautiful!

We traveled all over in a big van. Most of the time Lillie and great-grandma caught some zzz's!!

Grandma and grandpa took everyone for a short vacation on another island. We went to Kona and Hilo on the island of Hawaii. Lillie's extended family is from that island so we went to introduce her to them. The folllwoing are pictures from our trip.

Lillie loved the pool. The weather was so nice!

Since coming to Hawaii, Lillie has so many new things to play with. She loves being at grandma's house because she gets to touch anything she wants and plays with all her new toys bought for her by grandma!!!

Here is Lillie with her great-grandma (Darren's grandma). Lillie is having so much fun meeting all her new found family!!
