Top of a Hill

Well, it was about time this blog got a facelift! It’s been almost four years since this blog has been up, so seriously, about time!

Okay, I know I’ve been quiet online lately. I’ve needed a break from the many online avenues that keep us connected and yet disconnected from quality face to face time. But I’m here to give you a quick update on recent happenings. Izzy turned three on January 26. On her birth day, we took her [...]

We moved Kinoli’s offices from our house to an actual office space in an office building on Friday.  Luke mentioned that he thought it would be interesting to take a journey back through all our previous office spaces.  It’s been quite the evolution from 5 years ago when we started Kinoli. 2005: (no picture available) [...]

Our office space is in it’s final week of construction.  Move in date is tentatively scheduled for next Friday.  Hopefully construction will keep on schedule so that we can move on that day!  Here are some pictures of what it’s looking like.

This week is Spring Break at Izzy’s “school”.  She usually goes to the Mother’s Day Out program on Tuesday and Thursday mornings but this week she’s home with me.  Since it’s Spring Break for all the schools, our regular babysitters are also not available.  So, I dedicated this week to Big Sister Boot Camp for [...]

Today marks Luke’s 33rd year in the world.  Luke and I celebrated his birthday and Valentines day early this year by going to a Phoenix Suns vs. Denver Nuggets basketball game earlier this month.  He was cheering his fellow Canadian, Steve Nash from the Phoenix Suns.  Today however, we had a traditional Dairy Queen ice [...]

“Whoosh” is how I feel the year is passing by.  It’s looking like another busy year with lots to do and many changes happening.  Izzy just has her two year check up.  She’s 33 inches tall (80 percentile) and 25 pounds (40 percentile).  Overall, she’s growing up a tall, lean, healthy girl! Her personality comes [...]

Before Izzy arrived I was a project manager dealing with all things web. I loved what I did. I built relationships with our clients, created estimates, scheduled projects, built budgets, wrote specification documents, managed a specific project process and handled any issues that would come up during the project. We realized that great customer service [...]

Luke’s been up to so many things these days it’s hard to keep up. He also has too many ideas rattling around in that brain of his that I think he’s having a hard time getting them done! Here’s what he’s been up to: Luke and his brother Jesse created an iPhone application that is [...]

Isabelle is teething her top two teeth right now.  What does that mean?  It means, few to no naps, a little more cranky and not wanting to eat as much.  Doesn’t that sound fun?!  Okay, I’ll admit, I have it pretty easy compared to some other moms I’ve talked to.  Isabelle just won’t let me [...]
