So of course we head to the Bahamas for some fun in the sun quality family time before Ryan leaves for Abu dhabi. And of course there’s history making storms; one preseason hurricane grade storm in the Pacific and the same never before seen feature in the Atlantic. That means about 14 days of rain for the Caribbean. Awesome. We are coming home early because being trapped in a hotel room ANYWHERE is torture. I’d rather be home. See you all soon.

Both boys playing contentedly in Finns closet- a daily occurrence. We didn’t see any closets (just built in wardrobes) in Abu dhabi; wonder if they’ll miss giant American closets?
