withdrawal

I'm missing me some Jordyn. After spending 7 days straight with my little preciousness, I am going through a bit of withdrawal!

She fell in love with guacamole. You were her best friend if you would let her lick it off your tortilla chip.

This headband looked so darling and stayed on for about 30 seconds at a time if we were lucky!

Lunch at the club house after a day at the beach. I don't have any pictures of her laughing in the water. But she absolutely LOVED playing in the pool and in the ocean and could not wipe the smile off her face. My favorite Jordyn moment of the week was one morning when I sleepily opened my bedroom door. Jordy was down the hall, caught sight of me, and came running to me with the biggest smile until I swooped her up into my arms!! Now that's a good way to start the day - greeted by so much love.

Living la Pura Vida in Costa Rica

A Day in Tamarindo

The Stowell girls (including baby Presley in Nicole's tummy :).

We found a darling place for lunch and then headed out to play in the waves.

We ended the day at sunset with dinner at a little place on the sand. It was gorgeous.

the coco combo tour baby!!

This tour was just too much fun for one day! We set off across the bay on sea doos. We then got on ATV's for a 1 and 1/2 hour ride through jungle, back roads, farming neighborhoods, dodging cows and chickens - up to the ziplines.

We were FILTHY and loving it!!

On the ride home on the ATV's it started raining (and pouring) and we were drenched and hooting and hollering and swooshing through the muddy jungle. Absolutely too fun!! Once we made it back to the bay we jumped into the ocean (beautiful warm water) and then hopped back onto the waverunners. All six of us heading across the bay with noone else in sight with beautiful rays pouring through the late afternoon clouds. It was nothing short of magical. Poor Scott got a case of the runs the night before and missed out on this adventure. But he did get to spend the day with Nicole, Jordyn and baby Nikko.

home sweet home in Costa Rica

These are a few shots of our beautiful home in Peninsula Papagayo in Costa Rica. We had panoramic views of the beautiful bay. We had monkeys swinging in our trees. One afternoon a white faced monkey came onto our deck and knocked over all three little patio tables! We had gorgeous birds flying about, a coatie (a cute animal about the size of a racoon) hanging around, and a scorpion in Michael's room.
