Finally reunited with Dad

After 6 weeks as a single mom, Juri was finally able to join us in Tahiti. He arrived on Saturday 8th of August at 10pm. I had put the kids to sleep before heading to the airport to finally pick up my sweetheart. It was sooo nice to see him again; he looked very sharp and might have lost a bit of weight. He was surprised to see me looking so dark and to see how much my belly had grown since I left Belgium.

We surprised the kids the next morning as they were having breakfast with Grandpa. They looked at us very puzzled and shy, not knowing what was going on. When did Papa come back? After a few minutes, they finally warmed up to their Papa again and fought for his attention. They tried to tell him all that we've been doing thus far in Tahiti. Juri was also very excited to be with his kids again; what a sight it was!

We went to the harbor to watch the sunset. Juri's love for the islands grew even bigger.

Watching at the fishes in the artificial lagoon. The kids were amazed to be able to see such big fishes, and even Nemo!

Having fun in the Hamac. What a life!
