Puerto Rico - Day 1

We got up super early to catch our flight to San Juan.  The kids did pretty well on the plane although we had to keep them very occupied with games, music and the Jet Blue TV while it lasted.  Once we landed we had to get our rental car and drive the 2+ hours to Rincon.  This unfortunately took longer than we had hoped.  When we hit Rincon, we headed to the "grocery store" called the Econo.  Boy did we have a taste of Puerto Rico right away!  Eventually we made our way to our house and ran around checking out the place.   The kids were in heaven because their room was a loft that had a spiral staircase. You can see our view of the ocean in the pictures below.
The house we stayed at is owned by Rich Brown who works with Chris.  He had given us the low down on just about everything he could think of that we may need.  His first tip was to go across the street to George and Marilyn's house for their annual Superbowl party!  This party turned out to be a blast although the details cannot be written here!  If you are interested in this story, we will have to tell you in person.  The kids fell into the culture immediately!  They took their shoes off and ran around with the animals.  I could tell this was going to be a great vacation!

Singing the ABC's

So I finally got it on camera although it isn't his best effort. For those of you who have been around us recently, you know how Rich sings the ABC song ALL DAY LONG. It is obviously his favorite song and he is really good at it! In this video he misses a lot of the letters because he does not want to be taped. But he literally knows all the letters and the ending. I guess he was developing his verbal skills when he was sitting on his bottom for all those months NOT crawling. This was taken this morning and I had to bribe his with a cookie. It was only 9 am, but it was the only way I could get him to do it for the camera.

An absolutely beautiful day for my Angela Jane!  She looked absolutely gorgeous and she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.  She celebrated with her family and then with friends who feel like family now.  We are truly blessed! Brunch with family at Monica's and then a bbq at the Crocini's. How cute is she with her bbf's?!?!?!

Celtics courtside!!

Image
At 5:00 Chris got a call from a customer (who happens to live across the street), asking if we wanted his seats for the pre-season Celtics game tonight.  Of course we do!  Yes, it was the first game of the World Series and the Red Sox were playing, but you still can't beat going to a game. Chris had a feeling this guy had good seats, but when we arrived at Row A the kids were ecstatic.  Courtside, directly behind the players seats!  It was so awesome!   They were just feet from us and they were huge.  We could hear the plays they were going to run and then watched them run them.  Angela didn't love the seats because we were almost too close and she had trouble seeing over the 6'7" players!  The game was on ESPN and we were so close to the court that we were also on TV a lot.  My Mom was able to tell me what we were wearing because she watched it.  I found a quick link below.  You can see how close we were. ...
