Kid Antics

 Hanging with Layla, Karen's granddaughter, has been so enjoyable.  At two years old, she is talkative, animated and a little energizer bunny.  Rupert, as usual, is loving and gentle.  

                                                                Rupert with Layla

Rupert has always been a love bug and generous with his hugs and kisses.

                                                            Rupert with Maddy

                                                                    Brianna with Rupert.

And this sent me down memory lane thinking of kid antics.  I was lucky to be with the kids all day before going to work second shift.  

This is Kevin after I found him hiding in the closet.  I tried to take a very fast shower and "lost" Kevin.  He stayed super quiet, managed to close the closet door behind him and took me awhile to "find" him.  

Kevin loved his shower/baths and could spend forever in there.  He even slept a few times. 


    Scott thought it was funny to try and "hide" in the dishwasher.


And then he tried the kitchen drawer.  He totally missed the fact that he should stay quiet and out of sight!


Here we found Megan holding rent money and standing in a basket.  What was she thinking?


This is what happens when I try to take a fast shower.  Megan decides to feed herself!


                                Brianna trying to fit in our luggage and come on vacation with us!


As hard as it is to keep an eye on the little ones, they still manage to find ways to get into "trouble".  I would not trade a single second of being with the kids.  Life would have been so boring without them and now with grandkids, life continues to be entertaining!  Love, love, love all of them!

Driving Rain and Left Side Road

Image
 Today found us with lots of cloud and lots of rain.  We snuck in a fast soak in the jacuzzi this morning before our last trip to the grocery store.  A bit of fresh fruit (no fresh foods can be brought back into the states) and enough flour to continue my bread making.  We watched the downpour from the game room where I have yet to beat Paul at pool.  The closest I came was so close... Paul won after I left him this shot! The wet made getting on and off the boat a bit tricky.  During high tides, the boat is about 3 feet above the dock and 3 feet away.  Low tide 3 feet too low.  Normally Paul or I pull the boat closer and climb up or down.  Today I thankfully grabbed his hand before jumping - I slid across the wet dock and would have joined the fish on the other side!  Ugh.  No blood only a small bruise to my shin.  No jumping when wet! Our driving experience here in The Grand Bahamas. The signs:        ...

Happy (Belated) Birthday Rebecca!

 I hope your day yesterday was everything a birthday should be at 23!  We love you and are happy you are part of chaos household!  💖  I apologize for being a day late!   Today we had some success and some failures.   Successes = trip to church with donate, dump with garbage and trash, lumber yard for one board needed for the bathroom, washer works well and it was warm enough to dry two loads on the dog run, sanding in bathroom is complete, walls all have second coat, dinner was great (Paul cooked) and tonight we sleep on bed sheets dried in the fresh air! Failures = the dryer is broke (I tried to dry the blankets thinking they would never dry in the cooler air), and the closeline Paul tried to hang is too stretchy (better line ordered). While in town we saw this van (also dropping off donates): And it is World Gratitude Day. People I love:  so many, here are a few:                   ...

Ocean Reef Yacht Resort, Freeport, Bahamas

 It was such an amazing day I don't even know where to start.  After getting all set on the dock last night, talking about our crossing (and our mistakes) and waiting for the adrenaline to subside, we finally fell into bed at 2am. Although the crossing did not go as planned, I am still ecstatic to be here!  The West End is merely a stopping point to check in.  There is a gift shop (with little to no stock), a man selling conch salad, a beach with 2 people, the customs office and marina office.  That's it.  We walked the area in just a few  minutes. The channel out was just as narrow as I remembered .  How we maneuvered in the night - I don't know. As soon as we hit deeper water - 2 sea turtles!  One seemed to pose for the camera but I still couldn't capture him.  So cool! And lo and behold - the wind and seas were favorable!  We raised the sails, turned off the engines and sailed to our destination.  A glorious ride at 6-9 knot...
