Go-go girl's child





My mom says that when I was a baby, my grandfather used to call me a go-go girl because I was always happier and less fussy when they were doing something or going somewhere. Makili definitely is the same way. In the short six weeks since his birth he has flown 5000 miles from Hawaii to Manchester, NH. He attended a wedding in Boston the following day. He went realestate hunting in Southern New Hampshire which included an epic search for an EMS store so Raph could try on shoes. He hiked (okay he was carried) Mount Major which was 3 miles round trip to the top (we changed diapers on a rock half way up!) He flew from Manchester to Pittsburgh. He drove from Pittsburgh to Harrisburg and back the day after that flight so I could appeal the rejection of my teaching lisence. And today he performed admirably on a drive to my brother's house in Maryland. Good thing he can keep up. We can't have kids slowing us down! That kid is ready for anything life throws at him.
