Grenada at a glance

We are back from Grenada well over a month...more like six weeks and I just now realized I never blogged about it. So here goes. It will be mostly pictures cuz I ain't got any more time then I had the last 6 weeks. Oh where does time go?


He slept all but the last hour or so.


The beach makes tired and grumpy babies!



If only I could fit in it and sleep as well!





Drew looking all professional!

Shivani....one of the sweetest you will meet!

Warming up to granny from some very safe arms!

Visited Thaddeus on work so of course we got a lot of fruits to sample!


 One of my favorite pictures of the whole trip.

We did a lot of this....too much for my liking but with a cranky child, home was easiest!

The beach was fun till he got tired. That alone made it not worth taking him :(

My beloved friend Alana. She works so hard to provide for her boys which made it hard to get the time to do much but when we did we made it count.

This man truly was my lifesaver. He helped so much with Kai and gave me some much needed breaks during the day and night. Kai is a homeboy and this vacation proved it even more.

Kenzie loved watching Kai bathe


 Football here and football there

Grandparents
 ....family all together but one! Hopefully till another year it's not the case!

games games and more games

Kaden, my godchild, spent a Saturday by us. It's crazy how fast time goes. I took care of him so much from birth to about Kai's age. Now he's a big kid.

We did an island tour with the family
Annandale falls




Bathway beach 
We enjoyed our pot of oil down here cooked by Thaddeus


oh baby...we are smitten!





As much as he loves his daddy his eyes usually know where mom is as well!



my <3

Day trips are tiring.

According to them "this pool isn't for black people."


Children have a way of making so called "black people" get in anyway! lol
Kai absolutely loved the pool. I anticipate many summer pool swims!


Paying for our pool party by eating at the restaurant.

 
Miles separate but technology doesn't!


Football almost every night. Weekends had us trying to drown out music as we fell asleep. Not just any music....really loud window rattling music!

He has NO fear of animals. I have no clue why because we don't own a single one!



I wasn't being Grenadian here and not letting them hold my "baby." Children don't hold babies...or most Grenadians don't allow it anyway!



Watching airplanes


Ronel was a baby when we moved home. 2 years does a lot!



packing...repacking...unpacking...and repacking. Oh and weighing and re-weighing. sigh. Who does that?
I'll be honest. I was ready to go home. 


He was supposed to wait to sleep till we fly but when he is tired that's not an option.

time to be home.
Vacation is good and fun but there's NO PLACE LIKE HOME!

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

Image
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...
