It's been a crazy week. On Monday I had a root canal (well, the second part to the first one--not too bad). On Tuesday I had to run Gavin to the doctor because he was a little sickie and, indeed, had his first ear infection. Wednesday marked the demise of our furnace, complete with helicopter propeller-like noises coming from the electrical closet at 3 a.m. and waking the whole house up. That adventure cost us a cool $2,800 (nothing like working for an entire month to buy heat. But I guess it's a necessity in Chicago this winter). On Thursday, I caught Gavin's cold and more and ended up in bed a shivering quivering mess. By Friday I was just praying for an end to the week and counting down the hours until Joe would be off work on Saturday night. But there was more to come when my babysitter told me she probably has to quit watching Gavin.
So, when life sucks, what are you gonna do??
I'm going to Disneyland!! Wait, no I'm not. That sounds hellish with a 10-month-old. Let's try that again.
I'm going to Hawaii!!
Leaving for Maui in the morning with Gavs, Joe, and the in-laws. Mahalo!!

The wonderful family pool at the Wailea Villas--we met lots of other babies here, most of them named Sophia!
Hey, you're blocking my sun, Mom!
Beautiful sunset, enjoyed from our lanai

This was in Kapalua, at the beginning of our trip. We moved to the other side of the island after two nights of stormy rain. But it was beautiful.

Baby sweetness!
