One year!!! We have made it to our one year mark. One year ago yesterday we packed our house up, moved our belonging into storage and flew half away around the world with only 11 suitcases. Yup we were crazy! I can't believe we did it, but I'm glad we did. It's been a fun year of adventures. Josh has really enjoyed Medical University so far.
We finished up the Easter weekend with dyeing eggs on Easter Monday. Lincoln and Lacey loved every minute of it.
We had some pretty colorful hands by the end.
When Lacey put her egg in the dyed water she would say "eggie" like it was hiding and she was trying to find it.
When we gave Lacey an egg to color with a crayon, the first thing she wanted to do was crack it. She started banging it on the table. Like we were going to crack and open it when we are baking. She didn't get why we had to color the eggs with crayons.
We all had so much fun dyeing eggs.
After we rolled the eggs down the hill at Fort Amsterdam. It was beautiful hot sunny day, it was fun to roll the eggs down the hill while watching boats pass by in the blue ocean.
Lacey is loving her dada time.
With the summer heat getting more intense these days. It's very HOT out. So it's nice to go out after supper as it's more a comfortable temperate but still hot. One evening we went to the new Simpson Bay Causeway Bridge for a evening walk. It was beautiful- still very warm but very comfortable with the ocean breeze.
The Simpson Bay Causeway is the newest landmark in St. Maarten spanning 760 meters, supports two traffic lanes with walkways on both sides and a swing bridge in its center for boat traffic.
Dada's princess.
Freedom! Lincoln loves to ride his bike on the bridge, as we don't have to worry about traffic.

The bridge lights up at night, with changing lights.
On our way home at night the kids love looking at all the bright signs in Simpson bay.
Little Miss is a Freezie addict in this heat.
Lincoln did letter N this week so we made a NEST.

The Flamboyant tree (national tree ) blooms in the spring. They had them on St Eustatuis when we arrived last year. They are so pretty with the bright orange flowers. These trees originally from Madagascar, but can be found throughout the entire Caribbean.
We've been to Marigot many times but have never got to really explore down town Marigot. So we did. It was lots of fun. They have some neat French little shops.

Lacy loves coloring, painting and her art time.
