Week in Paradise ...Priceless!

Diana+Kent+Caymans= The best of the good life!!!

It was nice to escape but it's good to be home. Oh, how I love the relaxed and carefree life we had in the GrandCaymans. Everything was wonderful, even with Hurricane Ike keeping us company. Living in SW has it's perks - we were preconditioned to the wind. We just enjoyed the breeze and had fun jumping the major waves it was kickin up. However it did effect our diving plans. Most days the water was to choppy for scuba diving and the visibility wasn't the best for snorkeling. So rather than doing our scheduled three days of diving we only got out once. Which was fine by me... Kent and I just enjoyed all the down time. It was a welcomed escape. I loved having Kent all to myself - although we missed the kids a ton...our shocking $140 phone bill is proof of that. Every place we went and every corner we turned we were reminded of the kids and all the fun we had together as a family in the Caymans two years ago.

We had a jolly good time...

Iguana's were everywhere

Loved walking the beach at sunset

Sunset Cruise on board the Nina -

My only heart ache is my little Monson... he no longer wants to nurse and I didn't want to give this up so soon. I got all choked up this morning when I was telling my mom. Why is it that when you talk to your mom then you start to cry? I guess I can't have my cake and eat it two, it's my fault for leaving him. I took my pump with me (quite comical to watch the faces of the airport security agents as it passes through the x-ray, one young guy questioned what it was and when I told him a breast pump he was mortified- and turned bright red -Kent and I just laughed). Thanks to our amazing family for helping us out - you know who you are and we are so thankful to you. It's the only way we can travel and still have such peace of mind because we know they are in good hands. McKenna gave me the best welcome home present - it was good to know I was missed a little. Our 1st night back she said "Momma I love hearing your voice- I missed you." Now that's the Best of the Good Life.
