Well howdy, hey, hi there! Just took a little looky-lou on my blog and realized that it has been WAY too long. So... Let me just fill you in here. Fay and Eden... little stinkers! haha They are growing so fast and talking a lot. Sometimes they make sense, sometimes they don't. It's hard to believe that they will be 2 at the end of the month! CRAZINESS i tell you! The little twiddles do the cutest things. Like morning snuggles for example. They come in and say,  "Hi mom."- in the cutest little voice.. the 'hi' is said like this ~ .. if you could say hi and follow that squiggle. OOH this is a buggy. The girls are practically potty trained! I say practically because they still have accidents every now and again.. they also still wear diapers for nap time and bed time. They love it when their daddy takes them to the park. They don't even get sad saying goodbye to me! I try not to get offended ;) They are really in to Winnie the Pooh right now. I'll do a fancy shmancy blog post for their 2nd birthday so hold tight for a few more weeks.
Fay and Eden- They LOVE playing in our bed.

Quite the mess-makers these days... must be almost 2 or something ;)

Josh created quite the romantic scene for me on Valentine's Day. He took me out to Zealandia beach where he had spent hours digging up a table and creating a beautiful ambience.











We hosted Easter dinner at our house and shared it with the Bridges, the Becketts and our new friend Sylvia. It was super tasty and i couldn't resist decorating.




Fay and Eden had fun finding the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid for them.


















Josh has again done very well in school this term. He has gone out spearfishing a few times, he loves that. He always has quite the adventures. We played a little April fools joke on Facebook... We 'pretended' that Josh was in the hospital getting stitches for his shark bite. Hehe. Jenna CALLED in a panic. I was hilarious.. video to come it just needs some slight editing ;) ...I've been keeping quite busy with my latest "business" schemes. I have this (bad?) habit where i'll purchase something with the intent of making it into a mini business. For example.. Josh and i once bought a ...thing (for lack of a better word) that converts old film strips into digital images. COOL right!? Well we converted a few slides of my moms from her traveling days and that's about all we did. Another time i bought (Josh bought me) a cricut cutting machine. LOVE IT! My intent was to make boards/signs to sell at craft shows ect. ... didn't ever sell a single sing. Did a few for gifts. I have gotten lots of use out of my cricut though. Sadly, my cricut is not here with us on Statia :( ANYWAYS... back to my point... So i've been learning about my camera and taking lots of pictures and getting into photography. I have put a poster up at the school advertising my services. I've created a blog for my photography...CLICK HERE! to visit my blog :) ... Another 'expensive habit,' as Josh likes to call them, is my shellacking. Shellac is a nail polish that needs a UV cure. I also put a poster up at the school offering my services for nail painting.  So that's fun.




a little somethin somethin in the making
 The school's shipment that we order things to is supposed to arrive near the beginning of each semester. Next week is finals - meaning that the semester will be over. And guess what... no shipment! Don't even get me started on how frustrated i am with that! Apparently the shipment is arriving this week. I've heard Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. Fingers crossed! We have some fun and exciting things coming on there! I am most looking forward to my spray adhesive. I'll finally be able to get some of my projects going! Wahoo! So stay tuned for some of that action!










I'm looking forward to the break and spending some time with Josh. Two of his sisters are coming to visit! Jenna -this will be her second visit to Statia.. and Brook! - this will be her first!
My little sweetnesses :)
