Before we arrived
here I told myself that I was going to enjoy it here no matter what. Twenty months
isn't forever and if you have to be stuck anywhere on earth for twenty months
a tropical island certainly isn't the worst place you could be! ;)
These are some pictures I took while we were playing at the Terminal Park.
Playing at the parks on the island = dirty kids. They end up looking like homeless children by the end of the fun at the park.
Lacey watching her brother, she wants to do everything he's doing.
The yellow slide is very steep, as you can tell by Lincoln's face expression.
Lacey LOVES the swing!
Giggles, squeals and laughs! We love this girl so much.
We've been on the island
for almost 3 months now and while life is certainly not without its challenges we
continue to love it here. There are good and bad things as there are
anywhere and I thought I'd share a few of them with you - lest you think
its all suntans and smiles for us these days. ;)
the
good: a small apartment sure
makes cleaning go a lot quicker
the
not so good: a little bit cramped
the
good: admiring a load of clean
laundry on the line blowing in the breeze
the
not so good: when it rains on that
laundry and it then takes another day to dry or when my clothes line breaks and all the clean laundry falls on the freshly cut grass.
the
good: it's a lot warmer here
than it is back home in Canada!
the
not so good: today it is 41 degrees
Celsius, 82 % Humidity and I am sweatin' (which is saying something for those who know me)
the
good: trying new foods
the
not so good: cooking is always a
challenge. Trying to find ingredients for favorite recipes is much like a
treasure hunt sometimes but today I found zucchinnis and made zucchini bread
and it was just like home. Yay!.. Also trying to figure out what
the
good: I'm so happy to have
internet access. Being in touch with family and friends through
email/facetime/facebook makes it feel like we aren't that far from
home
the
not so good: internet access is hit or
miss at times... and speed is close to that of dial-up.
the
good: going to the beach hasn't
gotten old yet and I really don't think it will anytime soon.
the
not so good: all the sand I sweep out
of the bathtub and the whole house, shake out of my son's pockets and clean out of the babies
diaper might get old a tiny bit quicker
To sum it up: Life isn't all good
all the time but it sure comes pretty close!
We had to get a few family pictures of us as a family on Statia as we will be leaving the island soon.
Thanks to Hannah Farrell for the mini photoshoot.
We LOVE our Pictures!
