Sunny Days

We had two weeks of: rain. more rain. coughing. runny noses. sore throats. throw up. diahrrea. teething. sleepless nights. miserable mom and baby. Then the sun came out.

Now we are taking advantage of our last two weeks here on this tropical island. Here's the proof.

Pool time

Vega Baja beach

Mar Chiquita beach

We love it here. Can you tell?

Drivers Beware

Watch out! We've got this kid behind the wheel.

He's in the driver's seat.

And we're just along for the ride.

Felicidades 2010

We welcomed in the new year with our Puerto Rican family. The night started off splendid when we happened upon a teppanyaki grill and had ourselves a fine New Years Eve feast. Then I learned how to cook authentic Puerto Rican dishes while Casey played pool and set off fireworks. Cash spent most of the night exhausted and delirious. He couldn't sleep with all the partying and fireworks so he was up for the countdown.


Casey's teammates bought some rather large (and loud) illegal fireworks that the boys set off. They saved the biggest and best firework--full metal jacket--for the last hoorah. And it was a sight to see. I'm talking Disneyland fireworks in the middle of the street.
We kissed. We hugged. We laughed. And then we said goodbye to a very memorable 2009. Here's to a beautiful year folks. Our best year yet.
