Nothing like a little trip to Hawaii . . .

. . . to help you forget your troubles for a while.  
We just got back from a week in Hawaii with my family in celebration of my parent's 45th wedding anniversary.  We had a wonderful time, and Sarah had a total blast playing with all her cousins for seven days straight .  
Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful trip!  The house was awesome (28 of us all in one house - including two brand new babies), and the beach was wonderful!  
We stayed in Kailua on the opposite side of the island from Honolulu.  It was more rural, a slower pace, and a perfect beach for kids and grownups alike.

Wow. I want to do that. For some reason, that just almost made me cry to see those pictures of you, your mom and sisters. I love you ladies. You're so wonderful.

I feel so relaxed after watching that slideshow. What a beautiful place! I remember those crazy root trees from when I went - they're amazing!

Wow, i want to do that, too! Your sister looks a lot like you.

I am sorry about the last post, and about the adoption that didn't go through. I can't imagine what a roller coaster it must be, and how hard it can be. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Oh my goodness...what a trip! The Tower's family really knows how to vacation! The dressed in white beach pictures are breathtaking. I LOVE them.
