Paradise

Last week, Matt and I got to spend a relaxing, much needed vacation at Secrets Capri to celebrate our first anniversary, surviving (almost) Emma's first year and basketball season being done. After two solid days of raining, we got to enjoy three days laying out at the pool all day while being handed drink after drink. I read three (!!!) books, Matt read, we napped every day and we enjoyed three course (uninterrupted) meals. This trip was so needed and was everything we hoped for. If you recently had a baby, or have kids, I highly suggest taking some time as husband and wife to reconnect and just truly enjoy each other. We of course missed Emma and talked about her all the time, but we knew we needed this. 

By 8:30 every morning, this is where you could find us.

Celebrating our second anniversary at the bar after a delicious dinner. 

That view behind us was the view from our room. Waking up to the ocean every morning = bliss. 

Meanwhile, Emma was enjoying her own version of paradise (being spoiled) back here at home. We are very lucky that Emma has four loving and great grandparents. Grandparents that want to spend time with her and are involved in her life. Ken and Dianne came down to spend the first three days with her. I am so glad that they got this time alone with her and got to bond one on one. We hear she was great for them and they enjoyed lots of walks and time outside (her favorite). The other time was spent with my family where she chased the dogs around, played in the pool, did a photo shoot and watched Wheel of Fortune with aunt Alaina.

We can't thank our parents enough for this time away and taking such good care of our sweet Emma.
