Our family life in the tropics. Lots of music, art, gardening, cooking, traveling, ponderings, and joy. Creating memories, traditions
and hopefully some humor. Trying to give back as well.

since we've been home

We have finished a bathroom remodel, put in new carpets, hosted Shawn's class guinea pig, broken in all of the instruments, jumped in the ocean, and I have worked in the garden, plus helped a friend start a tulsi garden.  On our property we have papaya and tangerines coming.  Also bananas at some point this year I expect, I have five trees planted.  Oh and a guava tree too.  I am going to redo my herb/veggie garden soon I hope.

We are so busy right now.  The kids are all back in school, they started at the end of July.  So far so good. Annabel, our rocker girl started high school.  Sky is taking her first college course, at her high school (sociology).  She loves her professor.  The kids school schedule is wonky.  The girls go to a charter school, and attend classes part time, so they are home a lot.  Lots of driving back and forth.  The girls are in a hip hop class. Shawn is playing legos, drumming, running around, and Skyping with a girl from his class.

Yes, it's one round of enjoyment after another over here.

Sounds like my house minus the remodel and gardening.

Amazing that you can catch your breath!!! :)

Your home and yard looks lovely and how neat that you'll be harvesting tangerines and bananas!
