Aloha!

Aloha Evan,

We just returned from our 1st family vacation! The three of us took a plane from LAX to Maui & met Grammy & Pops in Hawaii. Your dad & I were a little nervous about how you'd do on the 5 hour plane ride, but for a 7 month old, I'd say that you did great!

Grammy & Pops met us at the airport & gave us a surprise lei greeting. We got traditional flower leis & you had a smaller one made of shells.

Most of the vacation was spent at the beach-side pool. Here you are getting ready to go down to the pool.
After a little swimming, you took time out to snack on a teething biscuit.
Then it was time to jump back in the pool with Grammy & Pops.
We also got to see a lot of amazing sunsets. Too bad this picture doesn't do it justice!
One of the days, we took a walk around Lahina. You were absolutely mesmerized by this street musician.
You & Dad shared you favorite meals. Dad got Panda Express & you had carrots! Dad can't wait until you're big enough to eat Panda Express with him!
In the mornings, you would check email with Grammy out on the balcony.
And here's a group picture from our last night in Maui. After we took this picture, Grammy & Pops watched you for the night, while we got to go out on a 'date night'.
What a wonderful week in paradise!
Mahalo,
Mom & Dad

Splish splash you were takin' a bath

Dear Evan,

Since you've found such a liking to splashing during your baths, we've moved your infant bathtub from the kitchen sink to the tub in our bathroom. It is such a blast to sit back & watch you giggle with delight when you splash away.



We are already envisioning your toddler years ... a boatload of tub toys, with raisin-like fingers & hours of enjoyment. We can't wait!

Love,
Mom & Dad
