However, we still need your prayers. Some people have asked what they can do to help (without really knowing what challenges we are facing). Here's what I would tell them: pray that this will all work out in the end and that MacGyver and I would be able to face these challenges successfully and with grace. Pray that the powers that be would be fair and merciful in their decisions and that God would continue to surround us with the right people and provide us with direction.
In the midst of all of this, we had a trip to Maui that had been scheduled for months. Couldn't very well skip the trip so here are a few pictures from our Hana adventure.
Early on in the morning.
The black sand beach at Waipanapanapa Beach Park
The boy. AKA "Ricky".
The girl. AKA "Lucy".
There were crazy people jumping off this rock earlier in the day. Who am I kidding? I'd jump it too!
The first time we came here, in 2005, MacGyver and I counted over 300 Chrysler Sebrings (convertible, of course) on the road to Hana. This time around, it was Jeeps - JeepJeepJeeps everywhere! I didn't count though. I was too busy trying to avoid being carsick in the backseat.
Unlike last time, our drive continued on through Hana and then down around the southern tip of Maui and back up through Kula, past the entrance to Haleakala. I won't be able to make it up to the summit to catch the sunrise this time around. I didn't pack for it and I don't have a rental car. But that's ok. I like sleep more than I like sunrises.
A good trip though I'd much rather have stayed home. And I don't ever plan to make the drive to Hana again. Ever. Twelve hours in a car is ENTIRELY too long, especially when you're on an ISLAND. Ugh.
Pau.

Wow! I can't believe how big the kids are!
I only made it as far as the Garden of Eden--and I slept halfway there :) Couldn't handle the curves and such!! Course we did go to the top of Haleakala for sunset--it was great in a crossfire convertible with the top down and the heated seats on :)
