Hawaii

This year, we got to take Kristin’s family to Oahu, HI! It was so fun! We got to snorkel with sea turtles, octopus, and lots of other neat fish. We were there during whale season and got to see some spectacular breeches. We went to a luau, and enjoyed the beautiful beaches. The pipeline was perfect for some competitions, so we went and watched some of the surfing. Erik and Steve tried to surf, too. Gosh, I miss it, already!  I was so glad that we got to share that time with my parents and with Erik and Portia. Who knows how many opportunities we will have to do something like that together.

Big changes!

We have  a little girl on the way! She is due sometime the end of June! We are so excited! The only name Steve and I have agreed on, so far, is Eleanor. So, that will probably be her name.  I can feel when she gets the hiccups and Steve can hear her little heartbeat sometimes.

This year’s travels

This past year has been a busy, wonderful one! We have had so much fun! We went to Disneyland for Kristin’s birthday. We thought it would be fun to do before we have children.

We also go to go to Montreal, last fall, through Steve’s work. We went to cooking school for a night and made crepe’s! Our flight was canceled due to weather. Instead of spending our money that night at a hotel we spent it on a late night cruise along the Hudson River!

In April, we went to Oahu, Hawaii! We went snorkeling, to a luau, to the Polynesian Cultural Center, hiking, and spending lots of time in the sand and sea. The highlight was going parasailing! We really enjoyed it! It’s an awesome way to see the island!

AND Kristin’s brother Erik got married to a wonderful girl! We are so happy for them both!
