Everyone has their idea of what "living the life" looks like...
here's mine:
both my boys
their wives
their babies here with us at Casa Azul
all of us in the pool
all of us walking and playing on the beach
all of us watching the blood moon rise out of the ocean
all the babies having nap time at the same time which meant lunchtime and cocktail time together for the adults
mango popsicles daily!
It's the first time Makenna and Carson have been to see us here so it's been huge fun watching them explore and get familiar with their whereabouts
It's been fabulous watching each child get braver in the water, be it the pool or the ocean
Lovely chatter happened over dinner once the babies were to bed
Fun was had on the farm as we cooked pizza and visited Granny Alder; the kiddies got to run wild on the lawn and play with Donde, the cat, who really didn't play nicely with them!!
Yummy wine was shared
and the weather has been kind with no wild blustery November winds to steal our joy...
the only thief of our joy was time
Christopher, Allison, Makenna and Carson returned home on Friday leaving a quiet void behind
Stephen, Candace, Lily and Keira leave tomorrow and the void left by their departure will be huge!
It's been an awesome week which has left me feeling so grateful...
and ever so slightly exhausted!!!
The cherry on top: Allison told me that Carson, at breakfast the next day, said: "Nannie Maggie gone? Bampa gone?"
Aaaaaaaaw.... ♥️
