Hau'oli La Hanau, Shane!!

Today is My Son, Shane's, Birthday!!

Shane and His Sister, Ashley, with Mr. Lincoln at Gettysburg

I think I should sing Happy Birthday to him in Hawaiian, don't you? I even found a little tutorial on YouTube to help with the pronunciation so you can learn to sing it too!

Here are the words:

Hau'oli la hanau ia 'oe

(Pronounced: How-oh-lee law hah-now yah oh-way)

Hau'oli la hanau ia 'oe,Hau'oli la hanau ia 'oe,

Hau'oli la hanau ia Shane,
Hau'oli la hanau ia 'oe

And here's the link to the YouTube video for all you adventuresome types! In the meantime, I'll be singing to my very special son, Shane!!
