Maisie and I are back and settled in with Dad and Francie after our little adventures. I had such a great trip to Hawaii- it was so relaxing, we had great weather and I always have fun hanging out with Christian and getting some time to just play with Maisie. I finally broke down and got a new MacBook the night before the trip so Christian, who owns a business a block away from mine downtown, and I both caught up on some work stuff (don't think we can exactly write that trip off though:) and talked about all our "favorite" clients we have in common. We tried not to spend too much time Facebooking-I-mean-working though and walked, lounged, lunched, cocktailed, dined and caught up on episodes of Mad Men. Our friend Matt Ochsner landed in Kona a few days before I left to get ready to swim/bike/run the Ironman Triathlon so we met up with him for dinner too when Christian and I ran out of things to talk about (just kidding- could never happen :) It was a great trip!

More beach time pictures!

She's holding on to that bald head but just started growing a thin little layer of fuzz!

Peaking out of her pack and play

Tasting sand

I can't get enough of the water in these pictures

in her cute little Juicy romper Landry gave Francie last year!

Christian in the "holy water" lagoon we swam in (she convinced me it was worth getting my blow-dryed hair wet to swim, which I never do!)

another funny face- this little girl cracks me up :)

Relaxing at the house after a day of sun

"Hi Dad!" and please stop taking my picture Mom and get me in that water :)

Maisie and Mom

They bring you a pack and play out to your cabana on the beach- nice way to nap Maise!

I love that binky smile

Burying her feet and trying to figure out how to eat sand without taking the binky out

Big girl standing in the waves (and when Grampa sees this he'll remind you to 'never turn your back to the ocean' Maisie)

Just lounging in the pool

She loves it!

My silly smiling girl and me with a wet pony tail- rare sight ;)

Posing in a waterfall ;) - and not sick of the camera yet like her big sister would be!

Playing in the baby pool- with a neat sandy bottom

Christian is SO good to Maisie- I was spoiled to go on this trip, she makes it too easy to travel with a baby... she changes her diaper before I even think to do it and loves to snuggle Maisie- even when we eat out! Lucky Maisie and lucky me :)
