Back Together in Fiji

Cooper, Lucy, and I journeyed back to Fiji to reunite with Papa on October 1. We were lucky enough to have Grandma come along and help us settle back into our routines. A tremendous help! Cooper didn't have any trouble getting back into the swing of school and playdates with Wati and his little friends. Here are Cooper and Wati heading off to school in their best "bula" attire for Fiji Day. Cooper was thrilled to be back.
We were so grateful to have Grandma with us, we had to show her how beautiful Fiji can be. We spent Columbus Day weekend on our favorite island, Toberua.
Lucy and I spent a lot of time watching them play in the water, while we chatted and smiled.
We never miss out on afternoon tea and cookies. We all love that British tradition.
Another fun weekend on the island. Hopefully, we get to go back.
Here is Lucy resting at 2 months old. There isn't a lot of quiet time around here, but she found a little peace from big brother.

We kept telling Grandma how much it rained here, but she lucked out with great weather. Two days after she left it poured all day long. That didn't keep Cooper and his buddy Sean from playing in the puddles and...

...tormenting the frogs.

Here we are heading out in our Indian dress to celebrate the Diwali holiday. Cooper was sad to miss the party but happy to be in the photo.

Lucy says, "Goodbye for now!" Hopefully, we can update you more often now that we are home. We hope to see you in Fiji!
