Seeing The Fingerprints

It's past the middle of January and it's been busy around here. Mostly ordinary things.  Like play fighting causing dislocated wrists Or Swimming lessons at our local pool Or Hanging out in the fridge to read.... Those sort of ordinary things

There wasn't any atv around to take us though 😞  That's ok we enjoyed all our meals on the beach Read our books on the beach Waded in the warm ocean  Walked along the beautiful beach Enjoyed one last amazing sunset Life is pretty good! It will be a mad dash of Christmas prep when we get home.  The plane ride I will be writing down a grocery list for Saturday night and another for Monday morning.... Here are some last photos ...
