Our most basic instinct is not for survival but for family. Most of us would give our own life for the survival of a family member, yet we lead our daily life too often as if we take our family for granted.

Surprise!

We just got back from the chapel after having Mutual, and I walk into my room to find Baby Moni sound asleep...Zzzzzz. I lay here next to him watching how peaceful he is and how fast he's grown. For those who know, have heard, or will find out for the first time......drum roll please (lol), Baby Moni is our surprise blessing! On March 30th he decided to join the Haunga Family without us knowing, yes that's right!, without us knowing. I'll spare everyone the details, but when I say surprised, I mean surprised as in "didn't know" , "had no clue" and "are you sure?" lol.

all swaddled up

Brand Spankin' New - Just a few hours old

Before Baby Moni (also known as M2) made his debut, Moni (M1) and I have been blessed with 4 children already, Siaosi - 15, Kiteau - 14, Siua - 13 and our lil princess 'Eva - 10. As you can see this was not planned...hahaha. But we welcomed M2 with open arms and LOVE him to death! Yes, I guess you can say I am a proud mother of 5, but most of all very blessed that I have another special spirit to take care of and call my own. Time flies by so quickly and I can remember as if it was yesterday that I was at the hospital waiting to bring him home and show him to the world! I just wanted to share pics of him from the day he forever changed our lives........
