Boy child.Birthdays.Babysitting.

Is it nearly a month since I blogged? I am without excuse with lots of time and pictures. So this email will mostly be of life the past 3 weeks. I don't know where time goes. The one week I was bored more than not but the next month is packed and I almost wish it was over and I was stateside already.

this boy is spoiled...but we love it!

Frozen yogurt for a late birthday celebration.



This lil boy is so fun to have around. Who don't enjoy a troublesome one year old? I taught him how to blow a whistle and was soon wondering why! Brenda and Jaxson leave to live in the states in two weeks. I am going to miss them both like crazy. They are pretty much a daily part of my life here.

Jaxson copies almost anything his uncle tells him to do. It's no wonder he gets the blame for all the "bad" things Jaxson learns!

Amy Burkholder had a birthday party for her little girls. All the little people were invited...and those of us that don't have little people!

Felicia turned 3.

Jalisa, Felicia and Kaylyn

Alanna turned 1


Kaden and Jaxson...if Kaden isn't playing with toys like this something must be wrong!

 Dan and Amy spent a few nights away for their anniversary. We had the honors of staying with their kids. 
 We hadn't even gone far from dropping them off at the resort and the oldest two were sleeping.

So glad I had my husband to help with the 4 kids

she had the cutest way to say Daniel...We laughed every time at her high squeeky "danel."





sometimes a documentary was needed to stop the fighting!

these cute lil chicks continue to populate our house!

Yesterday was a holiday. I spent a much needed relaxing time on the beach. In the evening Thaddeus cooked a pot of pilau and manish waters for all the youth. It was a fun, relaxing evening.
 Some of my crazy awesome friends!



beautiful, big, orange ball sinking in the water.

It's been four months. Four months of learning more than I thought I needed but very worth it. Marriage is a wonderful thing. 
We spent an evening out for supper with 5 other couples two weeks ago. It was nice to end it with a walk on the beach and ice cream.
I leave you with this challenging quote. Am I living my life daily with eternity in mind or is my focus on the present world?

"If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this." C.S. Lewis

When I Grow Up

Image
My kids love to sing. Right now for some reason they keep picking the song "When I Grow Up." The chorus goes: "When I grow up I wanna be just like you, so don't disappoint me I can see what you do. If you follow Jesus I will follow him too, so don't disappoint me, I can see what you do." Don't forbid little children to come unto Him For such is the kingdom of God, Always set an example that points out the way And do what the Lord has to say. Don't forget little children become big folks some day For what you see becomes what you do. If you walk with Jesus, I'll walk with Him too. So don't forget, I'm close behind you. I really like the song but when it's time for the chorus it gets me every time. Maybe it is those 12 hands and 60 fingers that are pointing my way. Today I pointed back at them and they had a few words to say as soon as the song finish! "Miss....WE ARE FOLLOWING YOU! You can't foll...

February

..here it is. It's hot, dry, and breezy. The month is almost halfway gone already. sigh. It's hard to believe it's been one whole year already that I've been married to this wonderful man. He truly is so extremely good for me. Marriage is a wonderful thing. It's good to have the first year behind us though. We look forward to many more! February 7 is Independence Day. The churches had a picnic and cooked the national dish. Kyla...or little Cindy as I call her. oil down...it was deliciously made by Sammy. A few wore their Independence colors!  Sailing festival was also held the other weekend on the beach. I was wishing so badly I had remembered my camera but alas phone pictures had to work! Sports Day is coming up for most schools. I went to Wesley College Sports day on Wednesday. It was good to see how secondary schools do it! I went in support of Alana's son Joshim. He didn't disapp...

of police and goodbyes

It was the night before some people departed the states to the wonderful Isle of Spice. Who wouldn't stay out late? Well...I would..and I did. The regrets came in the morning with only 2 hours of sleep and off to work at an unearthly hour. I work when I can...even if it is only a few hours. I felt like I had to keep redoing things...my brain was malfunctioning. Coffee was needed but I didn't want to be the reason for potty breaks on the way to the airport...thus I refrained. I left work in my own little world oblivious to a police officer sitting nearby. I believe he was sleeping as well..much to my benefit. With suitcases packed on that Ford truck we began to "RUN IT"...traffic moves well most days. I try to keep with traffic. They can usually break radar for you. The SUV lost me when it got to about 25 over the speed limit. It was a good thing! There was enough of a gap between us that officer had his nose out in traffic as I tried to quickly change lanes. Sorry fo...
