This is our house.
Last fall I took the girls to Chicago for Uncle Tim's wedding to Aunt Eileen. We had a blast. Gary and Shawn stayed behind...it was a long trip for a little squirmy boy. The girls and I stayed in downtown Chicago, and enjoyed the big city life for a few days. Luck would have it that our hotel was a walk to the American Girl store! We went twice. You never saw two girls more excited.
The wedding was a lot of fun.
The wedding was a lot of fun.
The day after the wedding we went to my older brother's home to celebrate my dad's birthday, which happened to fall on that very day. My girls had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. (My brother has 3 children). My nieces and nephew were really curious about our life and it was obvious that they saw our island as a very exotic place. They asked about our life there - what the kid's schools were like, what our neighborhood was like. Then Robbie, who was about seven, asked in all sincerity, "Do you live in a grass house? Do you have a refrigerator?" So we did our best to explain about our circumstances here, which in many ways are very similar to mainland life.
Someday I hope you can visit us here -- J.P., Angie, Molly, Mary and Robbie. And when you come, we will serve you food fresh from the refrigerator.
