In March my mom, Lisa, came back from her home in the Solomons for a month long visit. She spent about half her time in Kona with Tom and all of her friends and half her time over here with us. I had a bunch of projects lined up to keep her busy-you know mom-she needs to be active! We had a great time starting a garden in which we planted a ton of stuff and ended up having to fence in to ward off our plundering wild turkeys. Lisa also planted a bunch of flowers around the property to help liven it up. The other big project was the CHICKS! I purchased 27 baby chicks so we had to prepare for their arrival (set up a giant plastic swimming pool-sans water!) and get their outside enclosure ready and mongoose proof (took me a month to finally stop the chicken massacres going on!).
And of course there was KYLE! Mom hadn't seen her grandson since he was 2 months old....what a difference! They hit it off right away and Lisa delighted in teaching him peek-a-boo (his favorite) and "where's your tongue?" (which he does in two languages). She was amazed how Kyle is already "testing" his boundaries with us, seeing what he can and cannot get away with. She even babysat for us which was a BIG help! While she visited she got to see Kyle taking his first steps AND the start of his fabulous baby hugs! And of course Kyle's baptism and first birthday party. All and all it was a fabulous visit. Kyle's Solomon Islands grandma is sorely missed!
