Well we obviously made it home. Since we got back it has been pretty busy, so it's been difficult to update the blog. Here's some pics from our last day or two on Kauai. The last few days the weather actually got kind of unpleasant. The trade winds really picked up, and there were 30+ mph winds for much of the days. It was a little hard to enjoy the outdoors with all that wind, but we still had a good time. The trip home went fairly smoothly. We left Kauai at nearly midnight on Thursday night, so Azalea (and I) slept most of the way to Phoenix. The trip from Phoenix to MSP, though, Azalea was awake the whole way and got a bit unruly at times. She screamed a few times, and we got some nasty looks from our "neighbors" on the plane. All in all though she did OK and it could have been a lot worse, so we're pretty thankful.
Now that we're back in MN, there's been lots to do. Laura and I have both been working a lot, and we're trying to get our house ready to put on the market. We got our closet project done, and it turned out pretty nice. We've been cleaning and organizing, and are just about ready to list our home. It'll be an interesting few months while we try to sell. Hopefully we can keep the house presentable despite Azalea's (or my) attempts to trash the place.
A hike we took on our last day on Kauai. The winds were so strong, that when we walked along the beach you can see in the back of the picture (across the bay behind Laura) we were basically getting sandblasted on our bare skin. It actually hurt a bit.
Azalea decided she liked to push her stroller more than ride in it.
Our second to last day on Kauai we went to the legendary fern grotto. It apparently was a lot more magnificent before the bad hurricane which hit Kauai in the late 90s. The interesting thing is the ferns are growing out of the rocks and hanging upside down. It is a big cave-like area, and is a bit more interesting than this picture probably makes it look.
Us at the fern-grotto.
Some Hawaiin music provided for our little tour of the grotto.
Our last sunset in Kauai... not a bad one.
Outside the airport in Lihue... ready for our big trip back.

I loved seeing all of your pictures from your trip. It looked like you had a wonderful time.
If you haven't heard yet, we will be home this summer July 18th-August 6th. We still haven't decided how we will break-up the May-Aldridge days. We will let you know as soon as we can. Are there any dates that work better than others for you?
We also have some other news.....we are expecting...again. We are excited and SURPRISED. (-: The baby is due October 13th. One day after Sterling's 2nd B-day. My days are spent right now trying not to throw-up. That is a full time job.
Miss you all! -Stacy
