William studying his bouncy ball for the first time.

William and Dad. You've never seen a granddad adore his grandson as much as this one does!

William enjoys mobility - even if it is an "army" crawl.

still enjoying mobility . . .

William tugging on a freaked out Maximus. I'm sure Maximus is contimplating which is worse - being choked by this kid or the kid biting my tail.

Memorial Day weekend

We had a great Memorial Day at the beach. Our family joined us out at the timeshare in Clearwater. We had a big yummy lunch with ribs mom made and grilled corn on the cob. It was such a nice day.

Hawaii

Brad & I took a 16 day vacation to Kauai and Maui. It was beautiful and relaxing. Our new favorite island is Maui. It had been 15+ years since Brad had been to Maui and I had never been.

This was the view from the Princeville resort where we baked in the sun for 6 days!

It was a dry day the day we drove up the Waymaea canyon so finding a waterfall was difficult. Luckily - we were only draining the gas tank and not hiking to find a waterfall.

I promise - this was the view from our room at the resort in Maui.

Mother's Day

My first Mother's Day was all mine. By that I mean that we will be in Hawaii for the Mother's Day on May 8th so Brad made May 1st MY Mother's Day. It was so delightful and special.
