Going to Hawaii

Just wanted to let everyone know that we are leaving for Hawaii a week from tomorrow so that I can take my peds Boards on Oct. 27th. We are very blessed in that both Rudi's mother and my mother are coming to stay with us. They are going to watch Samuel for periods of time while Rudi and I get away. We can't wait to do some hiking and snorkeling--both things we have wanted to do here but haven't because Samuel is still young and not very able to stay with babysitters. The only bad thing about the trip is that I have to take the Boards...what a bummer! The test is one full day (8-5 pretty much), but we are staying in Hawaii until the 31st, so we should have some days of fun that are not tainted by the upcoming exam. We will post lots of pictures when we get back.
