Kauai Trip

So less than 12 hours after getting home from Missouri, we were back on a plane...but this time to a place slightly more desirable...Kauai!  Reid loved the plane and slept nearly the whole 7 hour flight.

The condo where we stayed with Tiff's Dad, brother, and wife Nikki was unbelievable! This was a shot of the view from the patio.

Reid got into the mood right away by throwin on his swim trunks and sweet new sunglasses.

And he even still found some time for tummy time between hangin on the beach and laying by the pool.

Tiff and I found some time (with grandpa Mark babysitting) to go zip lining in the rainforest with Blake and Nikki.  Amazing time!!

 Another morning, we got to hike up the "Sleeping Giant" which gave some pretty spectacular views of the coast and the mountainous rainforest.

In the end, it was mostly about hangin by the pool and catching some rays.

But all of that activity really tires a guy out. So there was plenty of time for catching up on sleep.

Thanks again to Mark for an amazing trip and givin Reid his first chance to see the ocean!

Graduation

May 12th marked the end of a long road for our family as we celebrated my graduation from medical school in Kirksville, Missouri (wherever that is!).  My parents and sister made the long trip out to see the sites and meet many of Tiff and I's friends. Even little man got dressed up for the occasion.

 My Dad loved spending time with his grandson. I'm not sure who was more dapper that morning :)

 

Supposedly that is me walking across the stage in front of too many people.  All I remember is thinking "don't trip...don't trip" 

And after all the formalities were over, we had an appropriate Missouri celebration....friends, family, BBQ, (and I think I saw moonshine at one point).  All in all, it was a great weekend and we were both happy and sad to leave Kirksville but will greatly miss all of our friends that remain too far away in the midwest.


Pictures from our Hawaii trip coming soon....
