It's my little brother Robby's birthday tomorrow. Robby has a life to dream of ...he lives in( and can afford) N.Y.C. He dines at top notch restaurants. He wears high end designer clothes. He owns an apartment on the celebrated Bleecker street. He travels the globe to dreamy destinations. He dates a lot, plays a lot, and enjoys life! But, aside from all this you must know that Robby has a heart of gold. He is genuinely a "nice guy". He is a loyal to his friends and family. He is soft spoken with a mind of his own, and loves to laugh. My children just love to be with their uncle Robby. He is a fan favorite in the Anderson home. Thanks Rob for all you do for us! Happy Birthday, we love you.

Good bye Maui
Before we tuck away our memories and photos of our recent vacation I wanted to post a few pic's of the beautiful scenary in Hawaii. What a place...the ocean, the beach, lush tropics, and mountainsides-around every corner was another breathtaking view. Enjoy the sights.

This is the life
We loved our pool at the Marriott. It was beautifully landscaped with flowers, plants, rocks and waterfalls
The kids loved the waterslides and pirate ship. I could spend all day relaxing by the poolside. Bring on the poolside fruit drinks...this is the life!

Aloha
Maui is paradise! We had a wonderful trip. Each and every moment was well spent and thoroughly enjoyed. It was very hard to leave such a beautiful island. Yesterday morning back in Omaha, Zachary grunted ..."Ug, I want to go back to Maui." Our vacation to Maui was exactly what it was meant to be... relaxing, and rejuvinating. Jeff described it as " good for the soul!" Our accomodations were perfect. Thanks to the Bischoff's for inviting us to their time- share condo. The Marriott Ocean View is spectacular. We spent each day soaking up the island beauty by the beaches, pools or seeing the sights.
