First week of classes and Last week with Aunt Melanie

This week we started classes for the winter term and there was no pause after the rush of graduation as we jumped right into teaching and all the administrative work that goes into getting a new term started.  It is also the last week for Katie's sister Melanie here on island.  We have taken advantage of her presence to get a lot of baby sitting time in (mostly for work and for time on our paper for the conference that is due in a couple of weeks).  We also have probably insured that there wont be any cousins for Arianna for a while from Loski sister number two.  It is not that Arianna is so difficult its just that any 14 month old can exhaust you in a single afternoon and the experience of it over several days adds up.  Yesterday, Arianna got to paddleboard with her Aunt Mel up at Cayman Kai and found the whole experience very exciting.
