you've got mail

Today something really sweet happened. I always pull my car over on the way home and get the mail out of the mailbox. Today, Brie ask for an envelope that was some sort of bill from a magazine. She opened it, took the return envelope out and grabbed a crayon. She wrote on it for few minutes and handed it to me "look mom, you've got mail!" so I looked at the envelope and she had written "ANNA" "BRIAN "BRIE" with little hearts all over it. It was very sweet and I could tell she was proud she wrote our family's name on "the mail" for me :)

Brie and I took a fun trip to Waikiki Hawaii Aug 28-Sept 4 with my friend Dani and her daughter Ryann. We stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village and it had 6 pools, shopping and watersides. Great for mommy and daughter! We took a sunset catamaran ride with a really great crew and saw the coastline with all the hotels. We hope to join Dani and Ryann next year on the Big Island if it all works out before Brie starts Kindergarten. My baby is growing up!!!
