Sunshine, kids, and a pool.
Sunbathing by the pool. Kids are rescuing toys from the water. Fresh bananas at my side. It was a good idea to take the morning off of work.
Surprise Baby Shower!

I love my wife.
My lady and I got to spend a night together, without kids, for the first time since we've HAD kids. What a magical experience. Manuel Antonio has an amazing view, incredible hotels, iguanas and monkeys. But my wife was best of all.
Breakfast at the beach.
Yoga by the pool. Hot coffee and good bacon. Sunshine for me and shade for my lady wife. It's a good morning.
Happy birthday, Johanna!
