Back to some kind of normal again :-)

Life is ones again back to "normal", whatever that is :-) School, field trips, birthday parties, beach, play dates etc. Our great new projects right now are getting our roof fixed as well as redoing our kitchen.Yey!!!! There is just a lot of work to do before that and, of course, while it is happening. However, it is suuuuuuper exciting!

Not sure if I mentioned it but Noah is going to a speech therapist and is already showing improvement, when he remembers to say things correctly :-) I guess it becomes a (bad) habit ones you have started to say something in a specific way.

Birthday party at Hangar 15!

And the birthday boy

This guy can really melt your heart!!!

I will never get tired of sleeping pictures of our boys. Look at Marlee's and Noah's legs :-)

These two have so much fun together now!!!

At a friend's house

Watching the yard guys working!! Such great babysitters!

Quack got some nice branches when the yard guys cut our (Hibiscus) bushes

Our nice beach has still not recovered from Irma and is still covered in sea weeds (and trash)

Same side/direction of the beach before Irma... just a slightly different angle..

Rafael has entered a new phase and can now fall asleep by himself in his crib. Most of the time with me or Alex next to the crib but sometimes even alone. It is wonderful since we got in to a bad habit to always rock him to sleep while walking or half dancing. Lol! I hope this will eventually lead to better sleeping since he still wakes up every other other and even every hour some times.  My latest theory is that he is simply very hungry and need to eat. During the day he does not really realize when he is tired or hungry with all the distractions around him so I have to make sure to feed him often and not just whenever there is a family meal.

When Noah went fishing with pappa and some friends he caught this little guy!

This kitchen cabinet is way more fun than any other toy

Some older pictures from mormor's and morfar's visit that I thought was worth publishing.
