Merry Christmas--2010 Family Update

What a wonderful year 2010 has been for the Kaleikini family! There have been many great changes this year with the greatest of those being the addition of our son, Koa--he is the best present we could ever receive. I have really enjoyed watching Joey become such an amazing father. Koa is such a laid back little guy who is quick to give out smiles!



I have gone back to work part time teaching 7th grade math in the afternoons. We are blessed to have my sister living with us and watching Koa when I am at work--she is a great Auntie-Nanny!




Our dogs, Kimo and Naia, are enjoying our long walks in the mornings. They absolutely love Koa and are so gentle with him.



Joey stays busy with his job at the Sheriff's Office. He is working with a specialized unit now, Street Crimes, and is also a member of the underwater rescue team (dive team) and helps out with the training division. When he isn't working, he enjoys playing on his tournament softball team.

We have done some traveling this year: Ohio for graduations and Thanksgiving (also known as Thanksmas this year), a few different softball tournaments, Miami to visit Joey during his two week dive team training, and we are going to Hawaii to visit Joey's Dad and his family for Christmas.

We are blessed with a loving family and great friends--thank you for being a part of our lives! We wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!

Love,
The Kaleikinis

P.S. We love Shake Portraits where we did our Christmas pictures. Here are some of the "bloopers" from the shoot!
