I know I have been MIA. It's been a crazy busy last 2 weeks. Most of the crazy was getting ready for our trip. My youngest son and I are in Belize at the moment and we have a hurrricane bearing down on us. This is what happens when you turn 40 by the way (smile). Seriously though, we're doing fine. The kids just enjoyed the last of my birthday cake. That's them in the pic above - eating cake out of coffee cups and keeping out of the rain.

So, for those of you that are worried about us, we're doing fine. It looks like the storm will be coming through tonight after dinner and out by the morning. We're up high at a resort with our own power, food and a generator.

I'll log on and post more tomorrow. Thanks for the overwhelming amount of birthday wishes on Facebook. I am awash with gratitude. Thanks for thinking of me!
