Hawaiian vacation

My mom came out to Rochester for an extended visit at the end of February, partly to celebrate Emmy's upcoming 1st birthday, but also to stay in Rochester with BOTH girls while Felix and I flew out to Kauai for a conference! Can you believe it? She volunteered to take care of two little girls in the land of the frozen tundra all by herself while we frolicked! How lucky are we???!!!

Before we left, I was wavering a bit on whether to take Emmy with us since she hasn't weaned, but we thought it would be super traumatic for Malea if we all "left" her. So in the end, it was just Felix and me on the flight to Hawaii. It was fun to revisit some of the sights around Kauai that we had explored during our honeymoon many years ago. Thank you so much Grandma Su for your gift of love, time and patience watching our girls so we could make the trip!
