So we are on Maui for a few days for a work conference... good timing for us, since it's been non-stop rain at home since we left!
Ivy travelled well on the plane, it's not as easy as it was a couple of months ago... she's a lot more active now, but she's still a great traveller. Her adjustment to the new time zone wasn't as easy as we would have hoped... she continues to wake at 5:30, thinking it's 7:30 at home. Naps are a little hit or miss here- it's pretty clear she doesn't want to miss anything!
We've really enjoyed showing the baby off to our friends and acquaintences here at the NAPA meeting in Maui- she's got quite a fan club! This meeting is one that Brian and I attend every winter, and I can tell you that it's very differnt with Ivy in tow! For example, tonight, we were tucked up in our room with some takeout dinner at about 6:45 pm... and very happy to be there. Other years, we'd be out to dinner, having a romantic cocktail by the ocean... etc. The joy I've had introducing her around, is worth tucking into our room early! Fortunately, we've been able to take her to all of the events - so that's nice!
On monday, Ivy and I splurged and rented a cabana for the day- to hang out near the beach. It was perfect-- shady, room for all of our stuff, close to the beach, a little bit of lawn to play on... We really enjoyed it- there are some pictures of her in the cabana- and one of her playing peek a boo around the shade!
We bought Ivy a grass skirt... and a silke flower lei right when we got off the plane... I bought her another one today, in a different color! More pictures to follow!
Absolutely gorgeous photos! Little Miss Ivy is just as beautiful as ever. Maui looks great on her :) How fabulous your conference was in such an amazing place. Glad you were able to miss the rains and get some sun.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, I bet you loved your camera especially in Hawaii, the colors are so vivid! Ivy looks so cute with her lei and matching bear!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics! Gosh Ivy is such a beautiful, adorable little girl, I can hardly wait to meet her! I know what you mean about the trip being different, no longer romantic but more of a family affair, but all the better :) also about showing them the world...camden is still so little but seeing him discover new things is the most amazing feeling.
ReplyDeleteHow splendid! What a wonderful winter getaway! I so know what you mean about how your life and everything changes with a little one and you are SO happy about it and it is all right. Hanging out in the cabana sound sooo nice!
