Dada had to go to SJ to meet with a lawyer and get some business documents signed. We decided it would be easiest for him to just fly there and back same day instead of all trekking there because we are all leaving for San Jose next weekend for a month.

Well all was going great until dada’s flight home. The plane flew all the way here and then couldnt land b/c of all the fog. They turned around and headed back to SJ.

Dada was determined to get home and ended up taking a taxi to the ferry and then the ferry and then taxi home. Our Vet in town, Deanne, was also on his plane so she rode home with him too. He finally made it back safe by 11:30 pm and kept our streak from 2004 (haven’t spent a night apart). He is one determined Dada and we’re glad to have him back.

We girls spent the day hanging in town, getting lunch with Ash, and making pizzas for dinner. I think we had the better end of the deal.

Sabi said she was ready to hold her pee pee all night and so far she has held her word. This is going on night 4 of no diaper and she is killing it! She still wants it to poop but at least we’re getting there. Sweet peanut.

Yesterday Sophie and Sabs met up with some awesome kids and Ash for an afternoon of funnnn! Sophie went out first on the kayak with Ash and Martin and they caught some barracuda. She absolutely loved it! Ash said she was hilarious out on the kayak and i kind of wish i had video of the conversations out in the ocean. Here are some pics 🙂

We built the driftwood tree, decorated it, ate some yummy food, drank some beer, played some wall ball, candyland, Jenga, and all just hung out. The hurricane didnt end up affecting us over here but it brought with it a cooler fall-like day which added to the Thanksgiving feel. Thanksgiving 2016 was a beautiful reflection of the year 2016 which gave us so much to be thankful for!

We were all so happy to spend the day with one of our favorite people in the world- Ash. Sophie made everyone “love” cards and was so excited to give them out. Later in the day Jess and Josue stopped by for some cake and a beer. We all were in bed with full bellies by 7pm…could be a record.
