Barbados November 2013

Dear Maya,

Just one week ago we were in Beautiful Barbados.

We couldn't have asked for a better reason as Auntie Patsi and Uncle Dave (finally) got married!
Congrats to them both and look at this radiant bride!



Sooo, to document this auspicious trip, we took pictures along the way.  This is us setting off in the aeroplane for the trip.  You are now completely obsessed with aeroplanes, I might add, to the point that we bought you a toy plane just today.

We were stuck on the tarmac at MIA airport for 2 hours waiting for a pilot, no less, and you were a great baby the entire time:


We arrived in Barbados at 12:50 AM.. yes AM, and both Gran and Grandad were there to meet us.  Gran has revamped my and Auntie Nicole's old crib just for you.  We are so thankful for that and everything else she did to make our stay a great one.

Of course, on your first day there, we headed to the beach, and at the end of this section are some videos of your time there as well.  Here are some still shots:


We even took a few days to stay at a hotel (Beachview), which had two pools that were perfect for you:







Here's a fun and sandy video of you.
Sometimes when I watch you, the word "unstoppable" comes to mind.
Daddy and I each think you get it from the other parent.
Either way, we are very proud of the way you're growing.




Here you are with your Bajan brothers at Gran's living room table one afternoon.

Here's Grandad helping you to navigate the kitchen stairs.

And in what seems like the blink of an eye, our vacation was over.
