Amazingly blessed to be married to an incredible man who happens to love traveling. A. LOT. Even more blessed to have a husband who lovingly lays down so many of his own desires for the desires of his children and his wife.. A husband who sacrifices any and all alone time to help carry the responsibility of raising up little lovers of Jesus and showing them what it means to follow Christ and love others. But with all of this pouring out of yourself comes a weariness of the day in and day out of loving three littles well. Insert needed rest, relaxation, rejuvenation, and a renewed sense of purpose as we strive to point our children to Christ. And this trip away was just what we needed in this extremely tiring season of life we're in right now! Our four nights away in Costa Rica were such a special time to have some one-on-one time with the youngest Currie girl. And boy did she seem to love her time to be doted on just as much. She's not used to that kind of attention-I can assure you of that! =) If there's one thing we left Costa Rica with, it was the feeling of we KNOW this little girl. We KNOW her sweet little self so much more than we did in the States with twins who require just a tad bit more from us than she does...=) We will always cherish our time as husband and wife but even more so, we will savor the precious days with Ashton Kate!
Waking up so early is hard for all the Currie's except Makenzie...=)
We made it to the Atlanta airport! A bit easier to travel with one baby vs. two!
Sweet girl on her first airplane ride! Perfect for the whole flight!
After a drive to the airport, waiting at the airport, a four hour flight, a trip to Walmart due to lost luggage, waiting for a rental car, and driving two more hours, this sweet punkin' was THRILLED to be free from the dreaded car seat! Seriously a little doll! =)
Everyone slept wonderfully and we were excited to enjoy our first day at the Springs resort!
Loved our breakfast brunch while Ashton Kate enjoyed her toys and a cool breeze....we now understand the meaning of a laid-back baby!
The views of the volcano were beautiful and the main reason we splurged to stay here at the hot springs...
Not sure it gets cuter than this...love giving all our attention to her for a few days!
First vacation with a baby...so far so good! And added bonus is there are two adults for one child..fun to experience that ratio of adults to kids!
The hot springs aren't a bad place for a baby to enjoy her first dip in a "pool!"
We figured if her love for bathtime was any indication of her love for a pool, we'd be in good shape! Turns out we were right! Happy girl!
Little poolside snack of sweet potatoes...
Ashton Kate...you sure do know how to win some hearts! You have everyone at the resort captivated by your cuteness!
Our almost 7 month old enjoying her first international trip!
Beautiful, sunshiny day!
All three of us loved our time in the hot springs and we're so thankful for great weather!
You do what ya gotta do to have a clean baby! =)
A view from the top of the resort
Simply gorgeous surroundings!
Too tired to take a picture the first night, so we made sure to at least snap one the second. Ashton Kate, your dad was quite paranoid as we sat down to our white tablecloth, candlelight dinner with a baby, but if there was a baby to do it with, you were it! Angel baby!
Another day to enjoy being outside..and we've learned you're quite a fan of the outdoors!
Spent the morning at the pool and then got showered to head on to the next stop on our journey!
Sweet, sweet memories already!
A last lunch at the Springs before heading to the beaches...and little miss enjoyed her first mum mum!
Daddy loves you so much Ashton Kate!
We've arrived at our next and last stop on this trip: the Hyatt! Brand new property, great service, beautiful views....yep we're pretty excited and so are you as you sport your little hat they left for you!
We used to think getting good pictures of our children was impossible. Then we realized it was the whole getting TWO to smile and cooperate at the same time that was the problem. You my dear are easy peasy to capture some cuteness of!
Favorite time of the day for sure! Getting ready to head to dinner as the sun is setting!
Absolutely gorgeous property! If accounting ever lets Kendall down, travel planning will be his next career choice...=)
His picks of hotels and vacation spots never disappoints!
Couldn't have asked for better weather!
Smitten over this cutie pie!
We love you so much Ashton Kate! You have filled our days with joy since the day you were born!
About to dip Ashton Kate's toes in the sand for the first time..we shall see!
Well...not too sure what this stuff is that's tickling my toes...says AK
Check that off the list and now let's get to the pool!
We sure could get used to this life...at least for a little while longer!
Another shot of the beautiful resort!
A little mommy/Ashton Kate time and loving every minute of it!
Loved our vacation with the three of us but now we're excited to get home and see the other two precious girls we've been entrusted with! We've missed you Maddie Grace and Makenzie! Thankful for a wonderful trip to Costa Rica! And now Ashton Kate...you're officially a Currie after getting your first stamp in your passport! =)
