May 15, 2007

Hey All,

What an exciting weekend for the family! We finalized an offer from Shea to transfer officially over to Trilogy @ The Vineyards in Brentwood. While it adds a few minutes to my commute, we are excited and happy for this opportunity.

The big news of the week is that we found out what we are having! Despite Kylee's vocal objections to anything but a sister (she actually said that if we have a boy, we can give it to "Wayne and Kat" - some friends nearby), she said that she is happy to be welcoming BROTHERS to our family. . . . . . . . we said that we want our second and third closer together than Kylee would be with siblings. Little did we know! We are excited and nervous but feel very blessed with all that we're given.

Love,

Ray, Jen, Kylee, and . . . . , and . . . . .

PS - Jen probably won't be happy we've got a picture of her on the post so we may have to remove this one soon. :0

Fun Facts

Fact#5: Jen and I both have a minor in Japanese. Despite the fact that I lived in Japan and had been working at a job that required me to speak and read Japanese, Jen would frequently beat me on our kanji character tests.

Fact #4: I don't know if it's a Japanese or Buddhist superstition, but my mom always said that when a family loses someone, that a new person will come into the family. About two weeks after attending my grandmother's funeral, we were excited to find out that we were expecting! That very night, Jen found out that her grandmother had passed away. I thought back to this superstition and thought, "would we have twins?" We lost two people special to us but were so happy that we've welcome in two very special individuals.

Fact #3: One of the neatest experiences we had was living in Japan for two years following graduation. We got to travel extensively through Japan and to a few parts of Asia. We also got to meet a number of Jen's relatives and even saw both Kelii and Kenny as they finished their missions.

Fact #2: Kylee was born on August 6th - the day the A-Bomb was dropped on Hiroshima. Jaron and Ethan were born on September 11th - another day memorialized in history. We are thinking that (if) we have another - it will be on 12/6 - Pearl Harbor day. :)

Fact #1: Jenny and Ray met while working at the Polynesian Cultural Center. Ray worked in the Japanese Guide Dept. Jenny worked in the Hawaiian Village and danced hula in a number of the different pageants. After graduation, Jenny also helped publish a book on the Native Plants of Polynesia - their usage, origins, and migration throughout the Polynesian Triangle
