Stormy storm storm

On Thursday night (9/23) we were hearing that a hurricane the likes of the super devastating Keith was headed directly for us. We decided we'd go inland and sent lodging inquiries out to several places in Cayo, woke up Friday morning and started making plans to get out off the island sooner rather than later. Within a couple of hours we saw that the path had changed and the hurricane had been downgraded to a tropical storm. Now here we are a day later and we are not technically in the path of Matthew but we are getting the winds and soon it will be pretty darn loud and scary and rainy. But not dangerous. Southern Belize and Honduras, not so lucky. But it is not a hurricane....yay! So we have learned that there is a lot of excitement around this stuff and that you kinda just gotta chill and make back-up plans and wait and see.

I'll update later and let you know how "chill" I feel after the 50+mph winds.

Tommy on his birthday

  Good morning!
  Making Pina Coladas
  At Lennie and Bill's pool!
  Egan loves this. Again Papa! Again!

Happy Birthday Tommy!

We're back! Okay, we've been here the whole time but haven't been blogging because my computer went blah on me like 2 days after my previous post in June. We finally received a new motherboard, Tommy put it together and now I'm back in business.

Today is Tommy's birthday! The celebration so far has included homemade (by me!) fluffy pancakes, signing documents in front of a Justice of the Peace (at his house 4 doors down from us) and doing laundry and hanging it on the line. Pina Coladas soon to be mixed.

Egan and I figured out a way to get the land crabs to come out of their holes.....poke a delicious piece of grass near the edge. Fun!

Documents? Oh, that. Something big is afoot. Something good. I'll tell you soon...
