Searching for Aloha

We're back, and had a wonderful time in Maui! Whether laying by the pool, playing on the beach, or taking visits to our favorite spots, the trip was memorable, fun, and relaxing.... albeit stressful at times "different" with the munchkin in tow. The nice thing about having a baby who wakes up at 5am is the advantage to secure any place by the pool, so most days consisted of laying by the pool with visits to the beach for snorkeling, playing in the waves, and catching some rays. Most evenings we watched the sunset on the beach.  Once the sun set, we'd stroll down the boardwalk at Ka'anapali, and by the time we got to our favorite restaurant, Abigail would be fast asleep.  So we'd lovingly stash her under the table and enjoy a night for two! Whether asleep or awake, Abigail was a hit.  She made lots of friends and was regularly complimented on her choice of outfit, bikini, or hair piece  :)  She even had a few friends stop our babysitter on Wednesday n...

Aloha!

We're off to Maui.... Have a great week!

The Dress

I may not have gotten the quintessential Easter picture I was hoping for this weekend, but I did manage to get some professional pictures of Abigail taken in her dress. As mentioned before, the dress was made by the ever-so-talented Kay Johnston and given to us as a baby shower gift for Abigail. It is a beautiful, handmade, raw silk dress with 3 layers of skirting, fresh water pearls, and intricate lacework. It is nothing short of amazing! Thank you again, Kay!  We will treasure this always.

Happy Easter!

We had a great first Easter.  Headed to my parents place yesterday to celebrate with family and friends.  I was pretty bad about taking pictures (now there's a first!) but we managed to get the below by the end of the night, sans pretty Easter dress...  sad. Oh and let's not forget the Easter bunny who made an appearance yesterday morning with a basket full of toys, teethers, and sunglasses!! :) I think the shades were by far her favorite (chicken pull-toy with hatching eggs came in a close second).  She loves sucking on my sunglasses, so now she has her own pair to drool all over  :) Hope everyone enjoyed a fantastic Easter weekend!
