always sunny I tell ya
"Don'tcha just love the weather here?" says the smiley Captain. Yep, I say. 10 min later....."Don'tcha just love the weather here?"..YES DAD!...the girls shout..... o brother. We've heard this phrase over and over again the past 5 days..we don't mind though. As a matter of fact..the Captain is overflowing with happiness. It has to do with so many things..First and foremost, with a visit from Uncle Jeff,who brought the girls down from Oregon to meet with us here. The best gift anyone can bring two parents. With his visit came his generosity. He was so helpful,...running us around (5 people in a little Matrix...sounds like the beginning of a joke, huh.) dropping of thrift store stuff, sharing his laughter and his advice...we love you Uncle Jeff. The Captain is also happy because his mornings consist of deciding if he'll be surfing,kayaking or freediving for lobster....You can probably guess I encourage the dinner diving. Life is good. We are having so many adventures. For example, yesterday Elias and I deciding to go surfing..."ok baby get ready..." get ready for what, Elias? "..ready for our first beach landing" ...In the dinghy, with the motor running Elias? "Yes my love, we hafta practice..in Mexico the waves are twice this size!" O dear lord...help us. I guess you could say it was totally unsuccessful. We dumped the dinghy, lost the paddles, flooded the engine and barely escaped a prop to the head...but we sat in the surf and laughed until I peed in my wetsuit. :) We miss you all...I think of you all everyday...Hi to Dani Chance!(of course I remember you!) And to everyone in Kimberly's family..she misses you all!! Check out our photos of the reunion in the gallery...and some photo's for ALL the Gramma's..Anna, Kim and Gma Jackie..._/)_
