lately

Since our camera broke we have been borrowing our neighbors camera. Their camera is considerably better than ours so we have been trying to figure out how exactly to use it. Well, Kel has spent more time figuring it out than I have. I just turn it on and click! Hopefully after we get our own camera we will get better at taking pictures. Here are some that Kel took the other night when the fog settled on golf course at dusk. Having thick fog here is kind of rare so it was cool to see. This was the view out our back door...


Here are some more that Kel took while outside. I think this scenery is a bit more interesting :)


I especially love this next picture. It is totally their personalities!!!! Arie with the cheesiest grin she can possible display, and Liam standing sweetly next to her holding his package!!! HA! Boys have the fascination their whole life! I don't know if you remember the pics of my black eye... but that happened because of an incident on a water slide. Well ever since that event Liam has been a little scared of the water. He loves going to the beach and the pool, but he will only get in water up to his shins, or he will only stay in the baby pool. In the last two weeks he has starting putting his face in the water and holding his breath for around 5 seconds. THAT IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT!!!!! Well I'd been thinking lately about getting him some goggles. I have had a few friends here who have told me that when they got goggles for their kids it really helped. Today we went to a sporting goods store to pick some out. Liam is always happy to get new things so he was excited to pick them out even though he had no idea what they were for. We actually ran into another pilot and his wife at the store. The wifes name is Catherine and she has been a swimmer almost all her life and she has taught swim lessons for many years. So we picked up goggles and arranged swim lessons. I'm so excited because we are trying to get to Palau and Austrailia as soon as we can so I really want Liam to snorkel. When we got home from the store Liam wanted to get in the tub immediatly to try out the goggles. When we were at the store Liam kept calling the goggles GOBBLES... then when we got home he wanted to get the tub with the BOGGLES... then while in the tub he thanked me for the WOBBLES!!!! So funny! Anyway as you can see he LOVED THEM!!!!!!!


Last but not least here are a few randoms...
