Today started rather unusually. I was up by 4:30 (nothing odd there), but Emerson awoke shortly after me. Being such an early hour, she watched Cinderella while Libby “slept in” until 6:30 or so. We went to breakfast and then returned to the cabin where Emerson took a nap at about 9:30. We then spent […]

With Libby’s school schedule and the vacation day savings for me, it’s a very efficient way to add a few more countries. Thus, we found ourselves in Labadee, Haiti this Thanksgiving. For those […]
