The kids have been waiting all week for a family day at the beach.  It’s lovely to be able to take them to the beach mid-week, sure, but it’s just different with their dad along - he’ll boogie board with the kids. Sunday has always been “family day” for us, so they’ve come to count on it.

Now, my husband is sick. Just when we thought we’d made it through the cold season without getting sick! E said we shouldn’t leave dad here all alone (nice) but, I think he’d prefer to be left alone so he can sleep. So, it looks like it will just be the three of us again today. We’ll head to a nearby beach and do some snorkeling and hope that the rest of us aren’t all sick in a few days. I’ll see if I can convince E to bring along his underwater camera so I can add some shots here.
