Vacation!









Last week, Rob and I went to Kauai, Hawaii for 9 days without our little man. Grandma and Grandpa O'Brien were thrilled to come into town from Florida to spend time with their grandson. (They've been talking about this for the last 6 months!) Rob and I enjoyed our time in Hawaii, but we missed Cullen like crazy!!! We never knew it would be so hard to leave him! Every baby or stroller we saw made us miss him even more! Needless to say, Cullen really enjoyed his time with Grandma and Grandpa O. While we were in Hawaii, we weren't beach bums. We went on a different excursion almost every day. We went on a helicopter tour of the island, rode a catamaran and saw whales, a pod of dolphins, and sea turtles, hiked, snorkeled, relaxed by the saltwater lagoon, and just enjoyed some quality time together. If you haven't been to Kauai, we would highly recommend it. The island is absolutely beautiful! (see our photos at the link below) While we were in Hawaii, Cullen (and Ritz) traveled to see family and friends in Michigan and Columbus. You could say Cullen is quite the little traveler! Cullen is 7 months and is sitting up on his own, babbling and laughing like crazy, and very active with his hands and arms. He loves to change positions in his crib. I will put him down one way and discover him in a completely new position in the morning.

We wanted to share some other great news. Our good friends Matt and Lydia Diclemente welcomed a little boy, Lucas Matthew Diclemente, on Sunday, March 29th. Also, our other friends Elle and Ted Folger, have announced that they are having a baby due in September. Congratulations!

All I can say is "absolutely breathtaking".
And Cullen is such a little cutie!
Thanks for sharing.
