Mormor and morfar arrived, stayed for a bit and left... AND RAFAEL IS 1 YEAR OLD!!!

We have kept busy since Irma left us and the hot weather is back, so we are back inside ;-) And back on the beach!!

Hurricane bbq, cooking what could be saved from the freezer when the power left us

 A few days after Irma we went to one of Alex's aunts to visit and help out a little with cleaning up after the hurricane.

We are chilling inside while Alex, Marlee and Noah are moving branches outside :-)

And then.. mormor and morfar arrived. The boys were thrilled! The plane was really late and I ended up picking them up at 3am in Orlando, but it was all good. I am a night owl, I just don't like the morning after... Good mormor and morfar like morning and can take the boys and make them breakfast. Lol!

Good night story time with mormor!

Gabriel got a beanie made by Aunt Linn and he doesn't care that it is HOT outside :-D Note the ant lions on on the hat!

- Morfar, do you wanna play with cars!?

We still have to do school work, even if mormor and morfar are here. Farmor, do you see that Marlee is using the fraction pies you gave him?

 Last Friday mormor turned 70 so it was breakfast in bed and then off to our Friday coop.

Happy birthday mormor!!!

Nice dinner out to celebrate mormor

 And then it was Rafael's turn! He turned ONE September 23!!! Happy birthday sweet boy!!!

Rafael was not too interested in opening the presents so it was good that he has three older brothers to help!

Celebrating the birthday at the beach, which is black since the hurricane

Yesterday we dropped off mormor and morfar in Port Canaveral for a cruise they are taking. The cruise ship was enormous!!! Gabriel was really sad that he couldn't go, too.

Today it has mostly been school work and then farmor and farfar got here by dinner time! We are spoiled with family right now. :-)
