Back from vacation and still re-adjusting






Hawaii couldn't have been any more fun really. Met with Seth's side of the family in Kauai and than headed to the Big Island and met my side of the family in Kona. Kauai really stole our hearts, the jungle, the sand, the baby beach across the street from our house, it was too perfect.

The house in Kauai was in the perfect location, really fun to share it with Alicia and G-ma and Me- ma. Milo had a blast I think, someone to play with him when he woke at the crack of dawn and I went back to sleep, something I miss so bad now when it is just the two of us and I yearn to close my eyes. We hiked, beached, ran, swam and ate great.

Kona was fun too, the entire family was there and we celebrated Mom's Leap Year birthday. We ate great, did lots of snorkeling and swimming. Seth and I had a fun run/ swim and spent lots of evenings in the pool, the condos were very quiet. Just seeing the family and having everyone meet Milo was great. My brother Don had a good time with Milo as he was recovering from a broken leg so they were on the same page most days as far as movement went.

In Kona Milo did start rolling over and hasn't stopped. He also developed some terrible sleeping habits he is still carrying out, last night he woke every two hours on the dot, ugh it is terrible. He wakes up and either cries his newly developed Teridactile cry or grunts while rolling over, neither scenario is conducive to sleep.

The flight home was terrible, Milo slept the whole time but the red eye took two days to recover from, getting home at 5am and trying to recover some sleep than Milo is up at 7 am bright eyed, lucky he learned to smile so well because you need that grin with only two hours of sleep under the belt.

It is bright and beautiful here, cold but amazing. I should be outside checking on the chickens and the ducks. Ginger is with Dad for the week so we are dog free, I always feel like I forgot to let her back in the house and than I realize she is on visitation with Pops.
