We're home!!

We are home and our vacation was wonderful!! It ended too soon of coarse! Sorry I did not blog more while on vacation. We could not get our wireless Internet connection to work in our condo. We had to walk to a different building to get the connection. Which by the time we got the kids fed, bathed and in bed and the kitchen cleaned, it was far too late to be walking somewhere to blog. So I will tell you all about our time now.

The kids had a fantastic time playing in the sand, burying each other, making sandcastles, and playing in the ocean. The adults had a great time watching them. They are our free entertainment! They say and do the funniest things! The 3 boys act more like brothers than cousins. It will be interesting to see how the dynamics change next year with the new baby around because let me tell you... all of them took turns being the boss. We had superhero's galore going on at the beach this year!! They were all really well behaved though. Reece had to go to the hospital on Saturday night because he was running a high fever. (103.3 degrees with the ear thermometer to be exact) Turns out he had swimmers ear. Poor guy :( He wasn't allowed to swim underwater for the rest of the week. He was a trouper though.

When we got home tonight we were greeted with a rather strong funk!! It kind of smelled like...let's see, how do I put this nicely? Rotten eggs, dog farts, beer belches, and mold all combined. Lovely huh!?! Yeah that's what I thought! My wonderful husband whom loves me so much decided that he would go ahead and rip up all of our carpet in the living room and take that funky stuff out to the curb before any of us started to have side effects that would not be so lovely to watch or experience. I didn't even have to ask him to do it. He just did it. He's so awesome!!! The insurance man is not going to come out until Friday afternoon. Note... the episode happened on Thursday evening. That goes to show you how many people were affected by the tropical storm. Please continue to pray for the people who have had a much more difficult time than us. We are fortunate, that is what we need to remember. I am very grateful for God's provision's in our life. We are blessed!
