Hanalei Moon - a very special song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NeHZ1ySVWiY

I wanted to share this video clip I took at the baby shower for my new nephew Hanalei...his mommy Charme' is singing and his grandma Val is dancing. Back up band includes his uncle Wayne and some friends that play in a local band here.

This song is really special to Charme as she remembers from a very young age her momma dancing hula to it. Now it's the name of her new born son..my little nephew :)

Hawaiian Preschool Graduation

Friday I attended my nephew Nakoa's preschool graduation ceremony. I've never been to one as my son was homeschooled. It was adorable! They all sang their little songs and did their hula hand motions. The boys in surf shorts and the girls in bathing suit tops and sarongs. I don't have any of the pictures since my sis asked if I would take some on her camera (super nice professional camera..she's a wedding/portrait photographer..I'm just glad I didn't break it!)since she had to do some video taping and run the slide show.

I have this one of my nephew though...my mom took it



before the kids came out my sis in law Charme sang to the guitar playing of her brother in law Wayne while her mom Auntie Val danced a couple hulas. Charme is one of the preschool teachers there. She's gonna have another baby..so I'm gonna be an auntie again :) She knows what she is having...even her assistant knows but she won't tell any of the family yet..she's such a stinker messing with us like that.
