Daddy’s 50th Birthday Day at Bamboo Forest Waterfalls and Rope Swing

Sawyer and I went to bamboo forest (apparently it’s called Nailiilihaele Stream) and did some serious rope swing jumping.

The excitement helped me kick start the second half of my life… just 50 more years to go. I did the work in the first half. Now I’m going to try harder to start having some real fun. 😉 maybe build a house or something like that.

Maya wanted to stay home even though I threatened her with every daddy threat under the Sun… like no more daddy hugs if you don’t come! 😉

She stayed home and made some chocolate bunny rabbit cake. We tried to make some coconut cream icing but didn’t come out perfectly. But was tasty.

OMG! …She’s the One …Chopsticks master!

She’s the one… 🙂

I just have one thing to say…. Ohhh,emmm,geeee! I could not believe it when I saw it. I pulled out my iphone and started recording. …otherwise you never would have believed me. Check out the video attached.

We were eating lunch at the makai market in Ala Moana food court. I ordered pad Thai noodles for Maya and was feeding her the noodles with the chopsticks. After a few minutes she wanted some more so I tried to take the chop sticks from her to feed her another bite and she said “no”, just like in the Matrix when the agents started shooting at Neo in the hallway 🙂 really, take a look… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdkdQtlF-RU [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdkdQtlF-RU]
…She grabbed the chopsticks and started eating with the chopsticks on her own! As if it was so obvious to her! I could not believe my eyes. See for yourself.

…News about my office that’s worth sharing.

CO Architects in Top 50 Architects by Architect Magazine

image001

This is about quality.

 

From the website:

Most lists of top architecture firms are nothing more than a straight-up ranking of toprevenue-producers. Not the ARCHITECT 50.

Now in its fifth year, the program aspires to much more: A qualitative look at how firms stack up across a broad range of categories,

from business to sustainability to design. We consider net revenue per employee, profits invested in research, and energy-efficiency

metrics (how well firms are meeting the AIA’s 2030 challenge, for instance).

 

Where within the top 50 does CO rank?

Wicked awesome, OMG great, 🙂 !!!!

 

Dear Jill,

 

I wanted to send a quick note with a link to our coverage for the 2013 version of the Architect 50ranking:

http://www.architectmagazine.com/business/architect-50-top-architecture-firms/

The print magazine, if it hasn’t already arrived, should be showing up in mailboxes in the next day or so.

More importantly, I wanted to offer my congratulations. CO Architects made the list, with an overall ranking of 2.  Well done!

Participating in the Architect 50 is no small amount of work, so thank you for taking the time, and thank you for your continued support of the program.

Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with any questions, clarifications, etc.

 

Best wishes,

Eric Wills
