Hawaii

We took Drake on his first family trip to Hawaii. We went there with my whole family. It was fun to see him and my nephew Gideon play together and how our family has grown. It was the first time I had been to Hawaii (or any tropical vacation) with my baby. You know how much your life has changed since you had a baby but sometimes you forget those days when you didn't have one. Vacationing isn't quite the same. No more just laying by the pool/beach for hours napping and reading and sunbathing. You have to watch your child's every move, make sure they get their naps/meals and they don't sleep all that well on the trip in general. It was great to be with my family and be in such a beautiful place for sure but it was realization that these trips will never quite be the same and that is ok. I do have one of the cutest kids on the planet so I can't really complain.

Fun! I hadn't even thought about vacationing with Graham. Thank you for snapping me back into reality--I had been dreaming about a beach vacation.

PS--Does that mean Sam wants you to be three-boobied and pregnant?

Gideon looks so much like Josh! The cousins together are adorable. I am glad y'all had fun.
