The Pina Coladas were cold, the tattoos were glittery, the conversation was spirited and the pool was a hit! Maya experienced her first Luau this summer, one of the many "Firsts" over the past month.
We feel like Maya has two big sisters whenever we're with her cousins. Brooke transforms from a recent Kindergarten graduate to a mature 12 year old when she's around Maya. We're pretty sure Brooke could babysit her by herself...while her diapers wouldn't be changed and she might get lots of treats, she sure would laugh a lot!!
Aloha, my friends!
Maya is crawling like crazy, going up stairs in high speed, eating every fruit and veggie she can get into her little fingers and going crazy each night when she hears the bath tub fire up!
Meanwhile, Dan and I have been crazy over the Olympics... Dan might be a little more obsessed than myself, but nonetheless, we both were excited to get Maya into the Olympic spirit. After all, just 438 short days ago, we were sitting in Trafalgar Square in London watching the seconds count down on the Olympic Countdown clock.
And fast forward those hundreds of days and our Olympic hopeful is here, a part of our many future trips and adventures.
We have hopes and dreams for her....maybe the Olympics...maybe just the local community ed class. Regardless, seeing the spirit, joy, fun and intensity of the Olympics reinforces that regardless of whether she's a really good athlete, a really good reader, a really good baker, a really good speaker or a really good friend, I hope that she puts her whole heart into it--without reservation, without holding back, with full-force giving of all that she has!
GO Team USA!
