A Fabulous Birthday

Well, it's official...I'm 34.  And we had an amazing time celebrating in the Bahamas!  Once our plane touched down, I realized that I could relax knowing that Colin was in good hands and we had covered all our bases.  I think that most of my stress came just from getting everyone packed and ready to go.  Kimmie was nice enough to send us some text and email updates throughout the trip, which gave us the little extra reassurance that we needed.  Marshall and I spent our vacation laying in the sun, taking long walks on the beach, swimming in the crystal blue ocean, sipping tropical cocktails, eating whatever/whenever we wanted, exploring the Atlantis resort (and losing money at their casino), and shopping in town.  It was just what we needed to get away from daily life stresses and reconnect with each other.  We did, however, miss our little munchkin SO much, and we were so excited to see him when we got home on Thursday evening.  Colin did a great job while we were away, and Grandma Kimmie and Grandpa John were able to keep him on his familiar schedule which really helped.  They reported that he was full of smiles and giggles, and ate like a champ...there were only 4 bottles of milk left!  I'm glad I pumped as much as I did, even though it was a lot of work.  I'm so proud of our little guy.  And I'm proud of us too for being able to get away.  We had a wonderful vacation, but home is definitely where my heart is!!!
