Summer

Summer is coming to an end, and Ian should be home within the week! Not sure which day, since a storm is rolling in. I can wait to show him all the great finds of the summer. I won't have much time, he will be busy working and then leaving again, but now I have a better sense of where things are. Even just a day to go exploring would be fun! 

David s first movie

We went to the base movie theater and went to Shane the sheep. It was cute and ben watched the entire time. Ben hasn't been to a movie in a year, he has only been to three movie ever, but has been asking to go. David is still too small. He enjoyed climbing up and down in his chair for an hour and a half! But the base theater is more forgiving for loud kids ;) 

Also, david uses the potty chair!!! No accidents yesterday ! He seems so much older in big boy underwear! 

Summer vacation

The boys are out of school this month. We have done some exploring, pool time and started potty training today (well potty training isn't going so well, so wish us luck David starts to get the concept!) but I've enjoyed the special time with the boys while they aren't at preschool. He are some pics... 

Cafe

I found a cafe 5 minute walk from where we live. I didn't have the food, just hibiscus tea, but the food pictures looked amazing! I can't wait to try it with you when you come back!!!! 

More pics of our JuLy

Went to the beach with Anna and Amy. Ben was swimming with Nate and got stung by a jellyfish. He cried a lot and screamed "I didn't know jelly fish were real!! " the jellyfish are so bad right now. Everyone is posting similar experiences. I will avoid the ocean for a bit. 

Okinawa lantern festival. 4000 candles were lit . All recycled candles from the year to promote a clean earth. 

More pottery I made ;) 

Stuck in the towers for a storm. Playing with Jess and Anna s dog. Boys run for hours! 

Watching the sunset on top of the roof. It was an amazing view! 

We got new neighbors ! Their daughters are so kind to our boys !!!
