This Yoda costume truly is the gift that keeps on giving. I decided to go for a walk after work with Maile girl. When I put her in the bjorn inspiration struck!

Meeting My Great Grandparents!
I’m a lucky girl. Mommy and daddy make me feel that way all the time (and Grandma Gail and Grandpa Cal and Grandma Jill and Grandpa Mike – basically the list goes on and on…)
This weekend I was reminded of that fact once again when I journeyed to Chicago to meet daddy’s side of the family. It was great fun and I was definitely the center of attention. I loved meeting everyone and I was so happy that everyone came in to see me!
I felt especially lucky to meet my great grandparents – from what I’m told not everyone gets to do that. I have 3 great grandparents – Grandpa Mike’s parents and Grandpa Cal’s mom. (I’ll meet Great Grandma Kiyoko when we go to Hawaii for Christmas.)
True story: when I came in the room to meet Great Grandpa Irv, he looked at me and said, “Oh the baby, isn’t she sweet!” I’m told Great Grandpa Irv was always quite the charmer and we instantly became fast friends. I really enjoyed visiting him. (Check out the video below – apparently, the paparazzi heard about our visit and was ready with the cameras…)
After meeting my great grandparents, I went and met my dad’s sister, Aunt Julie and my mom’s side of the family. I got passed around like a hot potato and received lots of love from all comers.
Last, but certainly not least, I also got to spend some quality time with my Auntie Elyssa. It was really nice to see her again, we chatted for awhile and I caught her up on all my fun adventures.
It was a quick trip, but a great start to the Maile World Tour ’09 – next stop Boston for Thanksgiving and then on to Hawaii in December!

Father and Daughter in the Airport
I thought this was kind of a cool shot.
Apologies, but we’ve been going non-stop since our return, so the full debrief of our Chicago trip is delayed another day. Soon, we promise!

I forget if I already told you this, but I headed to Chicago this weekend to meet my daddy’s side of the family. It was great fun and I can’t wait to tell you all about and share lots of pictures … but right now I’m exhausted! It’s hard being a girl getting all this attention sometimes 😉
So you will have to wait for all the fun details, but for the time being, here is a quick video. I went and met my Great Grandpa Irv at the home he stays at and they had a piano. I asked my daddy to show me how to play it. I’m not sure he got it entirely right (am I really supposed to jump up and down on it with my feet?) – but it was still pretty cool and made fun noises.
More to come …

Yes Maile, you can bring Giraffe with you...
Where is Maile going you ask? Where isn’t Maile going is probably a better question. Tomorrow kicks off the Maile World Tour ’09. We’re headed to Chicago to meet Maile’s great grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins from daddy’s side of things.
The World Tour will continue in November when she heads to Boston to meet daddy’s friends and then finish up in December in Hawaii where she will meet mommy’s side of the family and friends.
And yes, we told Maile she could bring Giraffe on all her travels!

I think Maile is starting to get a little bored with milk – she was fascinated by my salad tonight!
Wonder how hard it would be to get that into my bottle?
Hmm... daddy really seems to be enjoying that green stuff. I need to talk to my chef about mixing things up.

It took us a little while to capture this on video, but Maile has learned how to roll from front to back!
