This is a picture of my mother with baby Coral when she was just one day old. Coral is so big now. She weighs 13 pounds and is developing quickly. She slept for 8 hours last night for father's day. I don't expect that to happen regularly. She is almost three months now.
I was able to shed a couple pounds this week. My bamboo dance floor in our new bamboo house is awesome.
Dorian enjoyed his first Father's day today. He has been working hard to take care of his family so we can visit CA in Sept. The waves have been good lately. He was able to hang out with Alex Freyre who visited us this week. Kirk and Gina fly in tomarrow. Hopefully I can post more pictures soon.
Days go buy quickly with our busy bee. We are managing to maintain our pura vida lifestyle. We are enjoying every second.

Dennis, Dylan and Angelique made the blog















Coral is now 2 months and growing. She loves to dance to her mobile. We are trying to establish a sleeping schedule with luck.

We are moving into a spacious bamboo house sometime this month. The house is very baby friendly,very natural and artistic.

Dorian has been working hard this week. We all have been going to the beach together again. Coral likes to fall asleep while walking with Dad. The ocean is very soothing. I was able to jump in the warm water for the first time in months.

I have permission to work out again from the Doc. I started last week and obviously have a long way to go. I have been stretching, walking up a huge hill everyday and swimming. Hopefully I can get myself strong enough before we move into the bamboo house because it has an incredible outdoor dance floor waiting for me. I can't wait! I will start yoga again when I am ready.

We got a visit from our Dutch friends. We initially met them in La Ticla, Mainland Mexico during our tour down here. They stayed with us for one night. It was great to have them over. As you can see it wore Coral out.

Rainy season has started here. It is so great not to be hot anymore. Everything is getting greener. The Iguana's are everywhere. Paradise as usual in Costa Rica. We are working on getting our baby Tica her U.S. passport so we can visit Newport in Sept. Hope to see you all then.

We would love to hear how you are doing. We miss all of you!
pura vida
