Day 5

Shark Encounter, Turtle Beach, and Surfing...sort of.
Jeremy getting into the shark cage.
Becky and Jeremy (well part of him) in the shark cage.
Sharks.
John took mostly video of their shark adventure so maybe I'll post a couple of those when I get done with all the pictures.
If you click on the picture, you'll see the turtle shells in the water. We love coming to this beach. Not only do the turtles come right up on shore, but it is beautiful and shady too. This is where Miss Fabulous and I went while the others were playing with sharks.
This one had tracking devices all over its shell but it was still cool to see it come out of the water for a little bit.
MF doesn't do anything slowly and that includes filling up her watering can. That girl runs EVERYWHERE!
After we picked up the others from the shark boat we headed to White Plains so John could take Jeremy and Becky surfing.
MF jumping over the waves. Yes, that is a ladle in her hand. We had shovels but other kids kept tossing them in the ocean and watching them float away. Mostly they leave her kitchen utensils alone. MF's favorite beach toy is a plastic ice cream scoop...which ended up getting lost that day after she buried it in the sand.
Running from a big wave.
Happy she got away.
Jeremy, Becky, and John heading out.
This is the only shot I have of them. Jeremy and Becky ended up drifting way down the beach and almost ended up in the reef. John helped pull them out and they were done. They had had enough ocean for one day.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

Image
I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
