Week in Review

This week was pretty warm for January on South Padre Island. We enjoyed plenty of time at the beach and the park. Eva and Damian started music classes. Eva is learning piano and Damo the drums. Other than that, same ol same ol rhythm.

This week I finally got to surf again!!! It was the first time since I was about seven months pregnant. I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to catch a wave again (it’s this irrational fear I always have when I’m pregnant/post-partum), but I got a nice right, right off the bat. It felt…

It was Eva’s first time trick-or-treating and she’s obsessed now. I had to explain to her the next day why we couldn’t do…
