Sneak Peek -Hawaii '08

We had a wonderful trip to the Big Island in Early December. I am not going to go into detail about all of our adventures because there is just not enough time (give a call if you want a full trip report) and I had over 200 photos so here is just a very quick look at our trip. Who knows maybe after the holidays sometime I will get around to adding some text. The best part about the trip was just being together as a family without any distractions. But don't get me wrong, being on the beach all warm and sunny was nice too. You will notice I opted to post pictures of Wyatt instead of a lot of scenery shots. Can you blame me? I am trying to upload all pics onto a web album so you may still have a chance to see those other shots.


Our camper broke down on us the second day so we stayed in a couple hotels and spent the rest of the time at our friend Dan's guest house near Kona. It turned into to different trip without the camper but it worked out just fine.
















This was the highlight of Wyatt's trip- the captain let him drive the glass bottom boat!! Good thing we were the only ones on it :)













Lava was flowing into the ocean- it was amazing to see.




No denying that I am pregnant now!


Our hosts- thanks we had a great time!!

Thanksgiving

We enjoyed a lovely thanksgving at Dan and Adrian's house. They were brave enough to tackle our homegrown 30 lb turkey. We we worried that it would be tough because it was so big but it turned out perfectly.


Even after they got it thawed out, found a pan to fit it, and squeezed it into the oven- Adrian was still a little concerned.


But look how nice it turned out, Dan was pretty excited.


Wyatt was excited that Mark and Shannon brought some friends for him to play with.

Wyatt really wanted to hold baby Hugh, he is going to be a good big brother.


Wyatt was also more than happy to soak up the attention from the adults. He took right to Adrian's parents and even got to show off a few of his spanish words to Adrian's mom.

Waytt and Dan are old pals by now...Dan is a natural with the kids ;)

There were a bunch of other people there too but I apparently only take pictures if Wyatt is in them. Thanks again to Adrian and Dan for hosting, it's so nice to spend the holidays with such good friends, our Alaskan family.

Playing Dress Up

Just a few cute pictures of Wyatt showing his stuff.

Papa's glassess,
Mama's hat and boots...
Mama's hat, Papa's mittens...It's hard to find just the right combination.



These are my favorites..I was trying on some of the summer maternity clothes Mette lent me (thanks Mette!) for our Hawaii trip and Wyatt joined in. This cute pink frock was his favorite. I think it is a very nice color for him.
