Maui Momma


I apologize for a lack of blog entries lately. After our trip to Iowa there were only ten days before I left for a vacation to Hawaii. Factor in a hail storm and having to pack for myself and Reese, and I just didn't find the time. That being said...

On April 1st, Kim and I left for a trip to Maui. We had a great time relaxing and enjoying the beautiful island. Highlights of our trip included: a morning at the Grand Wailea Spa, TONS of reading, LOTS of Mai Thais, a terrifying drive down a winding one lane highway, hiking to waterfalls, driving a convertible, and an adventure rafting snorkel tour.

While I was enjoying my time away, Reese got to spend time with both sets of her grandparents in San Antonio. She handled the trip well and had a great time. It was my first extended trip away from her. (Defined: More than three consecutive hours of absence during any single daytime period. It's a little different if she's in bed for the night and I'm not there--I feel like I'm not missing much.)

When I got back it was amazing to see how much she had "grown" in such a short period of time. Her creeping skills were greatly improved and she started babbling much more. When she first started "talking" to me on the drive home to Austin I was shocked by how conversational her voice and tones had become. Now that we're home and getting back into our routine, I will be posting more items soon.
