Whoa...what a week!

Amariah arrived on Friday night, after having to spend 2 hours on a plane in Dallas with no air conditioning, which caused her to miss her connection in San Juan. So instead of arriving at 6:30 she got in at 10:30. We had a full week of tourist things! We went to several different beaches, lots of yummy restaurants, to a movie, lots of shopping, and ever had a fun time stuck at the Shell Station with a broken car! Thanks to Desiree, Heather and John we even got a few nights out without the kids. We had a really great time...but it was sure hard work being a tourist!
When we were having car trouble I think we had a Guardian Angel looking after us, because we actually had a local that took great care of us in our time of need! He sat with us for 2 hours trying to fix the problem (a whole in a pipe connected to the radiator) and then when he couldn't fix it, he followed us home to make sure we wouldn't break down on the golf course (an unsafe area), and then took the piece out went and had it fixed and brought it back and installed it next day! He didn't even expect anything...well Dave gave him every bit of cash we had on hand, because he certainly went way out of his way to help! I, of course used the oldest trick in the book, acting like a total car idiot and typical girl! I suggested using bubble gum to fix the hole...now how could he not help me???

As for Dave he is studying like crazy for his second block exam for the semester which is Monday. He is feeling pretty good about it but he still stresses about it of course. If you haven't noticed yet, by the count down clock, the kids and I are staying here with Dave until December. It just wasn't making much sense to leave during a time when Dave will have lots more free time than he has had in the past months, and since we will be separated while he is in clinicals we just figured why start before we have too. Plus, I would just miss this island and it felt incomplete to leave without Dave. And this way we can say we lived here for 2 years!

So that has been our busy week......here are a couple cute shots of the kids! Everyone keeps telling me how big Gavin has gotten and Reece out grew his school shorts in what seemed over-night!
