next step - get Mark and Max

Another long weekend! President's Day weekend meant we had some extra time to play and get ready for our journey to BC to get "the boys". We re-discovered Coki beach as a great snorkeling beach where we fed the fish and saw some great marine life. The beach has a very sandy bottom with some reefs a little further out. The water is very clear and a gorgeous Caribbean blue. Angel fish and other smaller tropical fish swim right up to you and will eat out of your hands. The only down side is it's quite the popular beach.

Julian had a busy week at school. As we are leaving on Wednesday - we'll miss over a week of school before spring break. We'll also be away over his birthday - so the class is doing a little birthday celebration for him at school tomorrow. What this means in reality is that I am bringing cupakes to school tomorrow. Sounds straight forward but try finding a) a bakery or b) muffin tins when you need it.

Julian lost tooth number two today which was a big event considering this time he didn't swallow it. I'm sure the St. Thomas tooth fairy will visit.

It has been six very positive weeks in St. Thomas. Having said that - it has been a very long time to be away from Mark and Max and we can't wait to see them. We are also looking forward to seeing family and friends.

I am not, however, looking forward to wearing socks.

We are excited to see you as well! Given that you are staying in our house, we are looking forward to you wearing socks :)

Have a safe trip and we'll see you very soon.
