I like to put our holiday card here so I can send it to so many of our friends who are out of reach of the ol' fashion mail carrier ...
and for those of you who have eyes that work like mine these days ...
Another year's passed in its quick, steady climb,
But KOEm & W savored each moment in time.
We're grateful for sunshine, for laughter, for grace,
And for friends like you who help brighten our space.
Karli's in fourth grade, still leading with heart,
And her wing-foiling summer became a new art.
She stuck with the challenge, found joy in the ride,
And loves it (almost) as much as the guy by her side.
Oliver's a sophomore at Manoa this fall,
Mechanical engineering big dreams, standing tall.
He surfs when he can and found brotherhood too,
Kappa Sigma has given him a strong, steady crew.
Ella's a senior, applications underway,
Her future unfolding in a bright, steady way.
We're thrilled for her path, though our hearts tug a bit
Mock Trial's her realm, and she's perfectly fit.
At eight, Wally's lively with endless good cheer,
He snuggles and fetches his way through the year.
Dad's out adventuring, though he knows he's not twenty
On skis, bikes, and foils - the crashes? there are plenty.
May your season be peaceful, your days merry & bright,
May the coming year greet you with joy in its light.
Sending love from KOEm & W, grateful and true
And hoping that 2026 brings us nearer to you.
