Hi friends! Happy holiday season! Hope everyone in the US had a great Thanksgiving. We stayed home, watched the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, took naps, and ate homemade Thai food and pumpkin pie. Haha! It was a really nice, low-key holiday, and sometimes that’s the best kind. And we all…

Continue reading →: Pria Four Month Update
With each of my kids, there has been something so special about that four-month mark. I think they really turn a corner at this age and just become such interesting, unique little people with personalities and opinions. They can communicate a little bit, they are so interactive and playful, and…

Our little miracle baby is finally here. Pria Kamea Sikora Pria (rhymes with Mia) means “beloved,” and Kamea (kah-MAY-uh) means “the one and only” (in Hawaiian since this little miss is our surprise Hawaiian souvenir!). She was born last week in a fast and furious birth that was the antithesis…
