Where has the time gone???

Today is not only Christmas Eve but also marks our one year anniversary of island life! We did it, we made it one year! The time has flown by, I can't believe how fast it has gone! In just 7 1/2 months the kids and I will be back in the US....and I know I'll be wishing for beach days and time that is slower, moving home and going back to work and having a hectic life again will not be quite as nice as island days. Now some things I won't miss- electricity and water that go out for no reason and rude bank employees, all the other things I know I will miss! So I have to take it all in in the next 7 months and make all the memories I can so that when we leave this place I can always hold it as a special time in my life that I look on with fond memories.

Here are some pics from when we first arrived.....WOW the kids look so much bigger now!
