Aloha!

We're back, back to the rain:( However, we had a SPECTACULAR time in Maui!!!!! We had perfect weather, sunny and about 85 everyday! We played in the sand and sun, saw so many beautiful things, and were pampered...what's not to like:) We had such a great time we're already planning our return trip next summer!

The Four Seasons was, by far, the most amazing place we've ever stayed. The resort was beautiful, someone there at ever turn to make sure we had what we needed (and even things we didn't know we did). We were greeted with leis and a personal little pineapple upside down cake. They also brought a dessert sampler as a parting gift. These two items alone, to a pregnant woman, we're absolute heaven! We sipped Chi-chis by the pool and I even talked Matt into a couples massage! It was pure bliss!

We did venture out of the resort too! We had a chance to see almost all of the island! We spent a few days up north in Lahaina and Ka'anapoli, went out on a snorkeling tour and drove the road to Hana. Maui is just an amazing place and we constantly found ourselves in awe of it's beauty! The road to Hana offered so many amazing sites, we couldn't stop to see them all! The end of that trip was our favorite place on the island, the seven sacred pools. One of the most beautiful places I've ever been!

I think Pistachio enjoyed himself as well! This is probably the easiest vacation we'll have with him:) We are excited to add some of the belly pics to his baby album for his first vacation! We can hardly believe he'll be here in just about three months! So so EXCITED!!!!!!! Mom is still feeling pretty good, a little heartburn, but nothing compared to last time. Fingers crossed!!

So we definitely had a blast and are grateful to have finally had our honeymoon! We are glad to be back home and excited to start our summer (??). Hopefully the sun makes its appearance here soon!

Happy Mother's Day!

What a fabulous weekend we had! My parents and Alex were in town for the weekend and so were my grandparents. We were able to have a great Mother's Day brunch on Sunday with everyone, including Susan, Michael, Ashley and Griffin (Blair had to work). It was absolutely delicious! It was so great to spend time with the BEST moms we know!! And of course my heart ached for Hannah, but it was also full of hope and anticipation for Pistachio and all of the Mother's Days I'll be able to spend with him.

We also celebrated Griffin's 2nd birthday on Saturday. It's almost impossible to believe he's 2 already! He had a great time, was a little overwhelmed with all the gifts, but was very excited about each one. Ashley and Blair did such a great job with the decorations, a Cars theme complete with a race way into the house and a re-fueling station (the food). Ashley and I also made a car cake, which was a little nerve racking, but ended up turning out great in the end!

We are continually moving into the new office. We've got the basics set up and are figuring out what else we may need. We are all really enjoying having the space and are feeling very productive:)

For those of you who haven't heard, Matt and I are finally taking our honeymoon!! We leave for Hawaii a week from tomorrow. We'll spend 10 days on Maui soaking up the sun, sand and surf!! I cannot wait, although we had a nice weekend, the rain is back in Portland and I'm really looking forward to 10 days of uninterrupted sunshine (I hope!).

Pistachio is more and more active each day! I feel him moving throughout the day and night, which I LOVE!! Matt was also able to feel him for the first time last week, which was exciting. His closet is starting to fill up and we've decided on a theme for the nursery.

For now, Aloha!
