Water Fun

One of the hard things to get used to in Guam is the lack of change in seasons. Granted, we have wet season / dry season, but things don't really change that much. So, of course, that means we can play in the water all year. Here are some fun pics of just that.

What do you get when you cross a 2 year old, a running water hose, and white pants?

Old Friends

Amy G! I cannot even believe you would ask me if I remember you! Of course I do and I have often wondered what in the heck you have been up to! Where are you now? What are you doing? How is your family? I would love to hear...you can leave a comment on the blog and just ask Mark not to publish it so you can give some contact info. That way, he can forward to me and I can get in touch with you! Talk to you soon!

Party Time

Today was party day. Olivia had a birthday party to attend, and the the theme was "dress up." Many of the little girls there had on princess outfits. Although Olivia didn't have a princess outfit, she looked pretty cute in this one! Enjoy!

Spelling Genius!

Although Olivia had no idea what she spelled, we were quite shocked to find her arrange her magnetic letters into the following word:

Our little genius!

The Dog has a Friend

As mentioned earlier, we are dog-sitting. Needless to say, Olivia has had a blast with her. Unfortunately, the dog is quite the scaredy-cat. So, having a 2 year old chase her around doesn't do much to calm her nerves. But, they have their moments. Enjoy.

Play Time

Some good friends of ours are leaving next week, so we had to get one more play time in with them. Their favorite game? Throwing sand at each other, digging in the sand, and pushing each other in the stroller.

Strangers in the Night

We are currently dog-sitting for a couple, so we have a traumatized Cocker Spaniel living with us for the next week. Two nights ago we went for a walk and Courtney found this little critter in our yard. It is a coconut crab! You can learn more about them here:

Weekend at Underwater World

Well, we are going on Week 3 of Olivia having a cold, which shows itself through a runny nose and cough. Of course, Olivia has learned she can just wipe her hand across her nose though to remove the snot. Unfortunately, rather than remove it, she smears it across her cheeks! Very lovely and ladylike.

Olivia and I did spend Saturday picking up trash at the beach. She was a big help -- wanting to be carried in order to avoid getting sand in her shoes. One hour and 2 bags of trash later, we were ready to hit the store for some doughnuts. Olivia picked a nice big one for her. When choosing for her mother, she picked a doughnut hole. There's something about a mother-daughter relationship.

Sunday was another day of skipping church. Unfortunately, with Olivia's runny nose and her mother's illness, no church was in order. But, we did managed to sneak away to Underwater World to see God's creatures. So, enjoy some pics!
