Hawaiian Sunsets

We've just spent 10 days on Oahu and Kauai with Stephanie's family. It was my first visit to a tropical island. Everything is beautiful there, especially the sunsets...

On Oahu I highly recommend snorkeling at Sharks Cove
and I can assure you that spending $200 on an helicopter tour of Kauai is really worth it!

Welcome Niklas !

Niklas Breiling was born on Saturday, July 21st at 6:25 pm in Portland.
He's the 7th Breiling grandchild and apparently his nickname is going to be "Niko"...

Easter, Easter, Easter!

Easter is Mommy's favorite holiday, and this year, Etienne and Elodie got to celebrate it many times ! Have a look at last week's pictures:


Grandma also created a web page with the pictures she took at her party...

Last treat, a video of Elodie wearing her cute Eater outfit and picking eggs...

Johnny's deck

Here's a picture of the deck that Johny Breiling, Stephanie's first cousin, is building in South Carolina. Johny is so talented that rich people from all over the country hire him to design and build outdoor landscape structures !


If you want to see more of his work, check out his website...

Yeah, a new cousin !

Susanna's due date is July 21st !!!

Aunt Ruthie's card

Elodie received a nice card from Aunt Claire Ruth last Thursday:

Dear Elodie Claire,
I wanted to share with you how I came to be called Claire. My grandmother, Mary Frances Blau, had a very best friend, Clara Voelker. Clara owned a dry-cleaning business and my dad + grandma owned a food market down the street. People say grandma + Clara were always together.
My dad called me Ruth Claire. At grade school + high school I was Ruth. In College I was called Claire.
I wish that your life will be full of fun and excitement. I sure have and continue to live life to the fullest.
Sincerely,
Your great aunt,
Claire Ruth
