Layover

See, all my mom friends are telling me not to worry but the Dr. wanted to "do something" because Charles doesn't have many words. He is super coordinated, here he is during our layover entertaining the crowds at the Miami airport.

Here he is at the END of day 1 finally adjusting to the water. There's a country western song that goes "Got my toes in the water, my ass in the sand." That's what I'm trying to sing in the background there.

"Daily" Highlights

Wow...there's a lot coming down the pike. While I was in St. John I was offered my old job back in the unemployment office. Couldn't turn it down. So upon my return to the contiguous U.S. on Wed...I made a list of loose ends which I had 48 hours to accomplish b/c I KNOW working FT starting MON. is going to further throw things off kilter.
My goal is NOT to tell you how we're doing but limit myself to telling you what it was like in the Caribbean. That ought to be easy...except for one thing. My camera was on the fritz so I took lots of video with my phone and they do not seem to be downloading the way I thought I had figured it out last month! hmmm.

OK, I finally got them off my phone and onto my computer but they don't seem to be loading onto this website....5th time's a charm??

Here is Charles on day 1 at the beach. He took a most unfortunated faceplant from his beach chair into the sand and wanted absolutely NOTHING to do with the sand NOR water the rest of the day...

Mom & Dad in Paradise

Without discussing it with ANY of their children...my parents packed up moved for 1/2 the year to the US Virgin Islands...to the island of St. John. They could not escape us though, my younger sister and I along with our children have descended upon them for the week.
We are working hard as fulltime moms keeping our kids in tow, making sure they are safe in the sun and water, making sure they 'play nice' as cousins and I am chasing Charles around. Right now he's sleeping so I have spare moment.

Here is the evidence of our hard work...
