Well, we are back from Maui and it was amazing, wonderful, relaxing, so totally awesome. The weather could not have been more perfect and I was totally able to relax because I knew my kids were being well cared for by 2 people (thanks mom and dad!) who love them every bit as much as we do, I was even able to relax when I found out Naomi was sick and throwing up (I'm so sorry mom and dad!) I want to go back. Soon. I am trying not to be sad right now, but just can't help it because our camera got left on the plane. With all of our pictures from Hawaii. And all of our pictures from our trip to the pumpkin patch at Greenbluff. We realized it was gone as we were leaving for the trunk or treat-so we got NO pictures of our kids on Halloween, I want to cry about that. Luckily my mom got pictures of Grace, Elliot and Maggie in their costumes, but I have absolutely no documentation of my baby's first Halloween (except some crappy picture on my phone). It may sound a little overly-dramatic, but I feel like I am in mourning!! Those are memories-put-to-picture that we will never be able to get back. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will find it on the plane (I submitted the form), and if someone else found it I hope that person is honest. Anyway, I'm just going to try and think about what an amazing trip we had, that makes me feel better.
Later...
I just talked to my mom and we were talking about a scare my friend Camille had with her newborn Lola,
read about it here, and it made me realize that losing a camera is really not all that bad. We still have the memories and we are all healthy and happy. It makes me remember what is really important :)

I know how you feel about the pictures being gone. Our other computer just crashed and now all of our pictures and everything is our gone.
Can I say how jealous I am of your trip to Hawaii. You guys definitely deserved it. Sorry about your camera. We(Lee) lost our video camera this summer with several full tapes in the bag. We were sick about it the whole vacation. Our name and address was on the bag and I was hoping some nice southerner would return it but I think it's gone for good.
Write your memories in your journal for sure.

I was actually nauseous reading about the new baby and how sick she got. I just was filled with sadness for them and I am glad everyone is healing now. I have read that blog before- the older daughter had cancer, right?
Anyway. I am the first to say I can get really, REALLY bogged down with my "trials" and I am so grateful that we have not had that flu. It still SCARES me so much though.
Anyway. I hope your memories are returned to you. I am obsessive about downloading photos every.day. because I am afraid of loosing them forever.
Yes, Crystal, their older daughter Olive has some really rare form of cancer. She was diagnosed, I think, when she was around 9 months (or maybe younger). She is doing really good now, though. I'm not sure if she is officially in remission now, but she is doing really, really good. I know, it makes me so thankful for how healthy my kids have been.
That is such a 'snap ya back into reality' story. If only we could always be so grateful for what we have and not be saddened by what we don't. It's an american disfunction...history shows we as americans always want more and are never satisfied, right?
I am so grateful all my kids are healthy!! The same similar thing happened to tyler when he was 4 weeks old,he quit breathing and they presumed he was possibly having a seizure. It was the most terrifying thing I have ever experienced in my life! I literally ran around the house screaming at the top of my lungs, couldnt find the phone to call 911, then couldn't even remember where I lived. My poor girls just sat there in pure terror sobbing and ty & I were crying and completely terrified! I feel her pain and I too, swear if it wasn't for Ty staying calm, it would have been worse.
Ugh...still gives me goosebumps!
oh NO! I am sorry about your camera hopefully you'll get it back. But I am super jealous of you guys going to Hawaii. So fun!
Oh Becky, that is such a bummer about your camera! I'm so sorry! I'll keep my fingers crossed that it finds its way back to you somehow.
YAY for Maui!!! I'm so glad you had a great time (even though I am SUPER DUPER DOUBLE-DOG JEALOUS). Your parents are awesome to take the kids for you, and I'm so glad you were able to relax and enjoy some alone time with Ray. (Did I mention that I am jealous)?
Happy late anniversary! Glad it was GREAT!!!
