I’m waiting until sunrise to post this so I can get a nice photo from the balcony.

We embarked on our journey yesterday afternoon, following the usual stressors of packing and preparation. We checked in, relaxed in our room for a bit, and went to dinner, where I had a delightful hot lobster roll.

Having gotten up at 4:30, I turned in early while Derek took the kids swimming. They have a heated outdoor pool, which they keep open for God only knows how long through the year. There is also a hot tub and small wading pool outside.

Apparently, though, last night, they had forgotten to turn on the heat in the pool right away, so it was a bit cold!

Anyway, the kids had fun, there were a lot of guests at the pool with other children.

I was able to use my CPAP pretty much through the night for the first time: 7 hours. I would call this a success.

Unfortunately, I woke up the kids when I got up, so they’re awake, too. Aislyn has already asked me what time sunrise is because she wants to go out and see it, too.

Great minds think alike.

Desmond and I often share the same thoughts. It’s so weird, because he thinks very differently from me. He is very black and white and logical. I am very abstract and emotional. It must be that he’s my son.

There’s the usual dose of back and forth between the kids, of course, but other than that, so far, so good.

I forgot all of my charger cables, though.
