Aloha everyone, Maryann here...
Just stopping by to introduce myself. I am a mom of three beautiful girls... Gabby 5 1/2, Maddy 3 1/2 and Cheyenne almost 9 mths. My husband is in the Navy which is why we are in sunny Honolulu. He has been serving our country for the last 11 yrs. We are originally from Chicago but I do not miss that COLD winter!!!! However, I do miss family and being so far way from them. We do have a great Ohana here between our church and ship friends, not to mention I started connecting with some moms from MOPS and my daughter's preschool. We stay pretty busy with tap and ballet, hula, soccer, MOPS, Awana and whatever else is thrown at us. I start homeschooling Gabby next month (year round school here). We are excited about this new adventure we'll be on. I love chatting with new friends on-line, especially Christian moms who can relate to my phase of life. I hope to get to know many of you. Have a great weekend.
Aloha, Maryann

Welcome to our board! You'll have to check out all the sections--the main forum is where most of the action takes place, but there is a homeschooling section, too, among others.

what's an Ohana?

I'm from central Indiana. We don't have quite the snowy winters as Chicago, but I can only imagine Hawaii being quite wonderful compared to our winters!

Welcome!

You sound like a very busy lady. I can relate to just about every mom's stage of life because of the ages of my children: DD1 is 24 and married; DD2 turns 17 in August; DD3 is 11 and DS is 4 (he turns 5 in September).

Please thank your DH for serving our country for so long, and thank you for the sacrifices you make by being a military wife. You're serving our country, too.

Hello and Welcome. I'm from Southern Indiana, but I would love to be able to play tennis outdoors all year round like they do in Hawaii!!

Hi Maryann! Can I just say I'm envious! I've been to Hawaii twice - Kauai & Maui. Loved it! I live in northern Michigan. And I don't love the long,cold winters. I do enjoy the seasons, just wish summer was longer!

I have 3 little ones - 5 yr old dd & 2 yr old b/g twins. Welcome to the board!
