Its been a while

Let me start by saying I can't believe that it is July already. The year is just flying by...on the other hand, this semester is crawling by! I can't wait for it to be over! Dave and I are already getting our list together of things we have to do on break since it will be our last one to enjoy the island.

Since I posted last, Reece has had his last day of 3rd grade! His grades were awesome and a lot of them had gone up since the last report card. He got nearly all A's! The only subject he really has trouble with is French! His reading has really improved and we're so proud of him! He's excited to have some time off but looking forward to starting 4th grade here on the island!

Carter has survived his birthday! He had a great time. We had lunch with his friends at McDonald's and I made a yummy cake...in my toaster oven!! We tried to go Mini Golfing but it wasn't open so we had to go have ice cream instead, but all in all a great day. He was so funny b/c we had all his presents in the house for 2-3 weeks and he never once asked to open them but once it was actually his b-day he never stopped asking if it was time to open them! He had so much patience that I guess it just all fell apart at the end!

Gavin is up to the same old thing. After Carter had his birthday Gavin decided it was his birthday too and he now thinks he is 4...and there's no convincing him he isn't. In a little under 2 weeks we can celebrate 1 whole year of no diaper changing in the Reimer family! Wow has that been nice and money saving!! He has also perfected his swimming and can swim across the pool by himself and he loves swimming under water!

Dave and I are just hanging in there. Dave is pretty busy with school again, so still studying and spending most of his time at the school. I'm still doing the surrogate patient thing, and trying to stay busy to make time go by a little faster. Here are a few random pictures of things we have been up to.

Here is the cake I made in my toaster oven for Carter's birthday. Look how big those boys are getting!

Here is a going away party we had for one of my good buddies Sheryl who left the island a couple weeks ago. These are two of my island pals Carlyn and Hanna. I got a hair cut...what do you think?

Another one of us at the going away party.

A day at the beach. This is the best beach, the locals call it "baby beach" because it is so calm. Here are the boys with JT, Carter's best pal, and Nate, who is Gavin's best friend. They were making a floating garden and were so proud of themselves.

A great day at the park! Even I had to get into the action!

This semester is slowly going by! I know you are excited for it to be over! The kids are really getting so big, especially from when you first moved to SXM.
