First Family Vacation - and a LONG blog

We had our first family vacation and had a blast! We went to Seattle and Vancouver and got to see lots of friends and family. Jamie and Erin came with us to help with the girls and they were wonderful. Can't wait to our next trip!

Maddie has now learned to say:

I love you
mommy
daddy

Katie is becoming more adventurous and daring...she is a quick one!

On the plane ready to go to Seattle!

Katie loved buckling and unbucklng the seatbelt. Thank you Hawaiian Air for being empty so we got 2 free seats for the girls!
