Update on life



The last week and a half is a blur!  We are now moved out and on the road.  I finished work on the 24th, started packing, had our 20 week ultrasound, played at the beach with our neighbor friends, packed some more and cleaned!  We were so blessed during our move out - friends watched Autumn, helped us haul boxes/stuff,  helped us clean, brought over food and kept us for the last 2 nights so we didn't have to stay in an empty condo.  It went so smoothly - no late nights, limited stress and Autumn handled it pretty well.  Other than being really bummed that I was done with work but she still had to go to daycare and struggling with potty training - she was a total trooper!  Only a couple of small fits the whole week!   She helped put things in boxes (and take some out) and played on her own pretty well when she needed to.  We flew to Maui on Thursday afternoon after checking out of the condo and running small errands.   Most of our stuff went to storage, we sold the green Honda and our neighbor friends are taking care of our silver car until we return.   All in all it has been a great transition!   The friends that kept us the last 2 nights have an adorable little dog, a fun teenager and a swimming pool - so Autumn was amply distracted and having a great time!  Our Maui mom picked us up at the airport after a bumpy little ride on a 9 passenger Cessna from Kona where we where an arms reach from the pilot.  Autumn did so well, sat in her seat nicely and fell asleep about 5 minutes after take off - it was a short nap, but she slept through all the bumps that may have been scary otherwise!  We are having such a nice time being spoiled and relaxing in Maui!  Nice dining, stand up paddle boarding, delicious home cooked meals, park, incredible real shave ice, picking mangos from the yard....!!! Out on the hammock Autumn asked to stay here 'forever' (-:   It is tempting!!!!

Looks dreamy! Glad you get a few days of r&r in your favorite places before heading back to the mainland.
