Parties, Plans, and Preparations…

Katie and I have spent quite a lot of time recently planning for many upcoming events. Thanksgiving, Liam’s first birthday, and Christmas. Most of the planning and preps for the birthday party are done. We have the location booked, the decorations bought and the bakery for the cake is picked. We are going to have the party at our favorite beach. You are all invited of course. We plan to have Thanksgiving with our good friends the Cortez’s. They have a 3 month old baby girl and we are really looking forward to spending the holiday with them. Katie’s folks and brother are coming back for Christmas which should be a lot of fun. When they visited last year everything was obviously centered around the newly arrived baby, but this year we intend to spend much more time out and about having fun on the island. We love that Katie’s family is able to visit so often. Our offer for free housing still stands. If any of you want to come for a visit, we will provide a place to sleep and food to eat, all you have to pay for is the airfare…which tends to be a lot. All we really need is a little advanced notice. So let the spare bedroom and couch sleeping begin! See you all soon.
