Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas from the Rauchs. Sorry I don't have much energy for more information - with the pregnancy, unpacking, daily life, and Christmas preparations I'm spent.

Honolulu Zoo

Chris starts work today, but we had him all to ourselves last week. One fun thing we did was go to the Honolulu Zoo. Zeke got to see his first zoo animals (except that he's seen an elephant). Fun was had by all.

We also had our first day at church yesterday and we were pleased to see many familiar faces and friends. It's good to be home!

Hello Hawaii!

Here are some photos of the boys helping load the moving truck and playing with some of their cousins in California.

I just wanted to post that we're safely in Hawaii and settling in nicely. On our way here we had wonderful visits with our family in California and ate way too much food. We think we may have already found a place to live that has a guest room, a big yard, and is walking distance to the elementary school & grocery store.

Things I will miss about Massachusetts: my friends, my cozy house, the sound of the train whistle, our quiet/friendly neighborhood, and the library's great/free children's programs. Massachusetts wasn't ALL bad, but I'm sure glad to be back here in Hawaii.
