Dennison’s 1930’s and 40’s baby imagery announces the birth of my second grandchild born 2026 July 10th. I have two fabulous sons and daughters-in-law and now two fabulous granddaughters! Kawehena (short for Kawehenaokealaula) graduated to Big Sister to Koa (short for Kapukoaikapoliokalani)! We are all so over the moon and Koa is happy in her sweet crescent of a moon!
💗 I’ve included Koa’s Mom’s words regarding the meaning of Koa’s full first name. Very beautiful and intentional. by @dennisonarchivist
