FINNY JACKSON IN THE HOUSE

Finny Jackson

How does it get better than Finny Jackson in my house, at my breakfast table, in the ocean, in the pool, in the sand, in my Van, on a surfboard, on a boogieboard....I mean seriously. Monday and today Finny took surf lessons with Mario. He stood up on his first wave! Of course. He's an athlete! I've never seen a kid so unafraid of the ocean. In that precise moment, just before we began cheering and high-fiveing, genetics got the best of me and....well....yes, it's true...the Curse of the Crickett....my camera ran out of batteries. So you'll have to take our word for it - he stood up almost every time! Here are some pics from today's lesson. Also Ais got up on a wave! Yesterday we hit the pool with Dierckson, Matea, Kelly and Carmen. Today was lots of beach fun - swimming and body surfing in an unusually cold ocean. Tonight dinner at The Hotel California -with a continuous game of the Funny Game. Finny always wins. I can't help but laugh at the dancing. Life is even more beautiful than usual here in Todos. Finny is brighter than the sun.
