We have a eleven-year-old in the house!!! Happy Birthday handsome, sweet, caring, compassionate, and humble Noah!! I am so grateful to have you! As the quiet and humble boy he is he has not asked for any big things to do for his birthday. He spent the day playing video games with his brothers and then had some friends coming over for dinner and play. The weather was pretty stormy (the beginning of Idalia) so they had fun playing baseball in the rain :-)
Having said all this, other things has happened since I last wrote. I didn’t think we had done so much but, as always, realize we have actually been to the beach several times and had coop twice. Another big thing is that David has become very comfortable in the water and made big progress.
As you read this you probably realize that Idalia dos not make any big impact on little Ormond. We were actually at the beach yesterday and Marlee went surfing, with a lot of other people. I did put floates on Raffi, who does not wear them normally, because of the rough water.

Gabriel and I have taken apart a few things lately to fix them. Now it was time to fix a brush on the robo vac that has been working bad for months. We found that a gear in the brush motor was worn out. We ordered a new one and hope to be able to put the thing back together again!!??
Beach yesterday. Yes, very windy but not crazy. Big waves and many surfers.
Marlee caught some really good waves but I did not manage to get a picture of them.
Noah over at a friend’s house today :-)
And now we are heading down to Miami.
