Eternal Summer

It's a eternal summer here, summer year round. Sounds perfect doesn't. I love that its October but doesn't feel like it.... We love St Eustatius and St. Maarten. It has been a great place to live for 20 months, it was sure an adventure. Some may think living on a island in the Caribbean is like a extend vacation. I wish! Living on a island is a whole lot harder then some may think. You don’t get to relax on a beach every day and soak up the sun. Going to the beach alone with my two kids is a lot of work. Yes we have tones of fun so its worth it but it is easy if we just stayed home. We bring a tone of sand home each time, we almost always have sand in our shower, no matter how much I try to wash it out. We love the hot humid weather in the day but my night it’s just too much. I love that we can wear our swim suits all day if we’d like. You don’t have to get the kids bundled up to go out, just throw on some flip flops. Island life is a slower more simple way of life, making things more complicated at times.... There will definelty be some thinsg that we miss about living here but also some things we will not. We are excited to go home for a bit to see family. The count down is on... 40 days!!!

  Lincoln teaching Lacey how to dive. Lincoln can now dive into the pool and swim the width of our pool.

Lacey has a rough life, spending the afternoon a the pool. Lacey has decided that naps in the day are just not for her any more, but then she has melt downs like this every few days. Poor girl!

I LOVE these two so much. I love spending my days with them. I love being a mom.

Beach afternoon with island friends ( the Edwards and Harding's) at Cay Bay (Indigo Bay). I love how we can spend 4 hours at the beach and the time just flies by. My island friends are one thing that I will really miss about living on a island. It's so nice to be able to hang out with other moms and their kids that are in the same situation as you. Married single parent, medical student wife problem. We are all in the process of finishing this arch way. It's beautiful!
