2 more sundays

carrying on with things we'll miss, and i just keep finding more as i browse through all the pictures we've taken since being in statia…..



keeping it simple - as in our poster board christmas tree. no needle clean up and coloring the decorations together was so much fun :)
we've also been so lucky to have so many great visitors while we've been here, and the boys LOVE watching the planes come in and anxiously awaiting another suitcase christmas party from home!



the beautiful rainforesty volcano right up the road from us is pretty amazing, and we've had a lot of fun on our little hikes up there :)

 


sometimes, i wish my boys had more friends to play with, but i also love how they're such great friends themselves. i love listening to them play together and am thankful for the statia bonding time these little men have had.


along with that, our little family of 4 has also had some good statia bonding time as we struggle with connection to the outside world and as we face each day of this adventure together :) i love how we've all grown up together here!
 


men climbing trees with a machete in their mouths to have fresh coconut at their beach party and hammocks……it's the life!


maddie always gets so excited to see a coconut lying on the ground, and the boys found one to try and crack open the other morning and worked at it for a good 1/2 hour! 



we are very excited to drink water out of the tap though and to have it all day every day never pending on delivery and back order!

a dryer!!!!!!! i've grown accustomed to hanging my laundry, and i don't even really hate it all that much, but i'm excited not to have to shake my laundry to get rid of spiders and not to have to find gecko poop stains on my clean clothes and to dry off with a nice fluffy warm towel instead of my nice warm crispy one! it's the simple things in life we miss the most :)


as much fun as beckam has kneading the dough, the 8-10 minute work out my hands get after always makes me excited for my bosch again! what a wonderful machine!


the movies! can't wait to go to a movie again and movie popcorn…..mmmmmm!!!!!
