It was block exam week so Josh was studying like crazy once again. Josh's highlight in his week while being lost in his textbook was.... In one of the classes that he's taking this semester is ICM, with ICM the students get experience in the St Maarten Hospital. Josh had his first ICM- clinical rotations with a ped. specialist. Josh really enjoyed this experience. ( Josh and Zara at their rotations).
Block weeks are tough on everyone. Josh is stressed out. The kids really notice that they don't see Josh, so they are whinnier and more emotional when they realize that they don't get to see dad as much. Our days just feel longer as we try to stay busy. Less family time is the down fall f med. school. I miss Josh like crazy. But we survived again....
Back home we hear from family that it's starting to have a coolness in the air. First day of fall was celebrated in Canada this past week.... Coolness in the air sounds amazing right about now. On our little island we have a eternal summer, thats either hot or very hot. I've been trying to teach Lincoln season's and how Canada has four season but St Maarten only has one due to it's position on the earth... Here's what we were up to these days.
Each morning as we get ready before heading out the door, this is where you will find Lacey. In the bathroom putting on her makeup (my old eyeshadows). It's so fun watching her.
Lincoln has just started showing interest in helping Lacey get ready. So he will help apply her makeup.
If you would pop by our house these days this might just be how you see Lacey. Nude! Clothes less! Yes I have cute clothes for her that I put on her every morning. But if Lacey had a choice she's choose nothing, if you ask her why she doesn't want clothes she'd say, "Hot"! It really is just too hot for clothes these days. While Canada is moving not fall, the Caribbean's hottest months are from August-October.
... And here's my island boy. He's almost clothes less. This is his favourite outfit while we are at home. Underwear! In this picture above Lincoln and Lacey are playing with the shopping cart our landlord provides for us to bring our groceries from our car through the complex to our house. It also makes a great toy for hours of entertainment.
Lincoln and Lacey got a cold this week. It wasn't too bad other then they got a runny clear nose. Plus they were more tired then normal. Lincoln would nap for an hour and still go to bed at the same time. Where when he's feeling normal a 15 min nap would usually keep him up till 9-10pm rather the his normal 7:30 bed time.
We ended our week with spending our Saturday morning at the beach. I love when it's a perfect beach day and this past Saturday was. There were no waves and the water was crystal clear. This is what i will miss about living on this island, my beach time.
