Awesome 2 day vacation! It wasn’t looking like it was going to happen, we had set up respite for both the babies in advance and felt good about things. A couple days before, the respite people bailed and could only take 1 of the boys. So some scrambling happened and another respite was found. Then, an hour before we were supposed to leave, the same respite people bailed on the other boy. So, we were left in a lurch without care for one of the babies. Stress, stress, stress! Anyhow, Bill and Melissa saved the day and offered to stay at our place with the one, and all was well. WHEW, so nice to have such good friends!
We finally made it and WOW it is a super cool family place. More pictures and videos to come!

This is one of my favorite projects that they do in Kindergarten…it’s the ME Book! LOVE IT and had to share.
(sorry to have to black out 2 of the “brothers”)

Apparently this weather is “bonus” day…it’s not going to last. We made the most out of it, with a trip to the beach after school and then some basketball at Wilkes after I got done with work. Gotta take it when we can!

Some days we all just need a little reminder! 🙂

We have been missing Nana and Papa terribly…They’ve been on a cruise in Mexico for the last 12 days. The boys have been asking daily if when we would see them next. We hoped to surprise them when they came home so we snuck in and hung up a sign the boys made, dropped off some groceries and turned on the heat and lights so it looked cozy and homey.
Carlos came with me down to the ferry to pick up Nana and Papa and this picture truly says it all…I think we all missed eachother A LOT!
So glad you’re home, mom and dad. You were missed!

We started this morning with an Island tradition, the Firefighter’s Pancake Breakfast. Always so much fun, we end up seeing lots of people we know, getting a great meal of pancakes and ham and wrapping it all up with a ride on the top of the firetruck.
We try to make it every year and are never disappointed.
Today, after breakfast, we got to meet up with our dear friend, Ann. The boys call her “Godma Ann” since she is their Godmother….it’s been too long since the last time we had a chance to see her and chat. Always good times!
