Aloha y'all!

We all made it in one piece to the bee-yoo-tiful island of Kauai!!!  Pictures don't do this place justice!  The tension and stress have already begun to melt away and it feels so good to be here as a family.  We are soaking each other up and we are doing our best to stay away from technology but I have been furiously taking notes for the many blog posts I know I'm going to have!  The baby is taking the Nap of the Century right now and I've already been able to get one blog post written!  

Unfortunately, the internet connection here isn't the best and pictures take forever to load.  And since I wouldn't dream of writing about Kauai without pictures, the real posts will have to wait until we come back.  However, I wanted to leave you with this.

 This is the view from the balcony of our apartment, I mean hotel room.

The beach is to the left, the pool to the right.

I really wish my husband wouldn't make me rough it like this.

I probably won't post here until we get back home, but I'll read and comment on your blogs as I can.  I'll miss y'all and I'll have a mai tai for each and every one of you!
