We haven't posted in a while because it's been a little busier here lately. Shell is working full time for these last 2 weeks, will go down to half time starting next week as a teacher's assistant at a Catholic Elementary School in the area. James was called as YM prez and Asst Scoutmaster, and the kids are fully back in school after Christmas break, while Jordan started soccer and guitar lessons. The girls start dance in a couple weeks. They also like to take their scooters to the bus stop as you can see. Shell and James had their first Scuba class yesterday, held in the pool on base. Jordan will get to join in on the scuba action too his last year here, as 10 is the minimum age.The second picure is Talofofo Bay, on the eastern side of the island near the waterfall hike we did Christmas eve. Picture 3 shows you why we're all suffering from lack of sleep-the kittens always crawl into our beds at night wanting to play. I think the girls were so tired they actually didn't notice, but they love to pounce Shell for some reason, so she takes the brunt of it.
Finally, a Christmas morning pic, with Jordan showing his enthusiasm for his new skateboard.
There's a great skateboard park just down the street on base here with a halfpipe and ramps for him. The girls take their bikes there too and have a blast. That's about it for now..(thank goodness).
