Jake's first few days

We had a scheduled C-section since we found out that Jake was breach at 36 weeks. That meant four days in the hospital. We enjoyed our time at the hospital and loved all of our visitors. Eric became a pro with the diapers since I was not able to get up and walk around due to the surgery. Oh how our life was changing-but for the best!

Oh blog-it's been too, too long!

A lot has happened since our last post in January. We have been so busy that I have not updated in months! I hope to catch up before the new year.

31, not just a fun card game

January 8th would have been Elvis's 75th birthday-and it was my 31st. We celebrated with dinner at Perry's and then cake with the family afterwards. Here's to another great year!

Yes, I rocked the bikini at 19 weeks . . . why not?

Maui time!

With a baby on the way, we were especially excited for our trip to Hawaii this year. We knew that it might be the last one for a while. We had a great time, as always and even tried a few new things. We took a trip to upcountry to get a tour of the pineapple vineyard. We also took a day trip to the neighboring island of Lanai and checked out the sites there. Of course, we also did a lot of eating, swimming and soaking up the sun.
