No Lights, just a camera and action!

With no power in the afternoon, Morgan has become our entertainment. I have no idea what this song is she's singing but it gave us both a good laugh!

In the dark

We are on day two of our island wide power outage. Seems that early Thursday morning there was a fire at the power station and two generators were burned up. We went all day yesterday with no power, finally at about 7 PM the power came on for our area of the island. This morning (Friday), it went back down and it's now approaching midnight and we are still in the dark. How am I writing this post you might ask? Well, after having lived on this island for 2 years I have learned the importance of renting a place equipped with a generator. Luckily for my sanity one of my neighbors has a wireless router so I can also be on the internet.

Looks like we will be in the dark for at least 2 weeks! The island is on a load sharing schedule and for some reason tonight our area of the island didn't get their share. HMMM, not sure why but once again I'm thankful for the generator.

Guess we will be spending our daytime hours at a beach or poolside to help keep Morgan busy.

Jordan and Tori update

This is all I got this week for pictures of the girls. They were busy with school and then running to Las Vegas and a quick trip up to Cedar Breaks with Uncle David because.....


He's engaged to this wonderful lady, Richelle! They are impatiently waiting for me and Morgan to get home so they can get married. November 1 is the official day. I can't wait to meet Richelle and get to know her.

How to curl hair with no curling iron

Start with damp hair and a roll of toilet paper
Seperate into small sections and roll hair around paper then tie ends together.
Let sit overnight to dry
Wallah! In the morning remove paper and see all the curls This works really great with young girls because you don't have to worry about burning them and there are no rollers to sleep on.

Excuse me your Excellency, I saw you wearing a funny hat!

Friday, Morgan was invited to help with a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Tiawan Innovations show. For the ceremony the General Governor of St. Kitts came along with alot of other important diplomats.
After the ceremony, we asked permission to take a picture with the General Governor. We were telling him thank you when Morgan decided it was ok to talk. She looked straight at the man and said "What's your name?" To which he responded with "my name is QT" I explained to Morgan that is what his mom called him when he was a young boy. She just shrugged and said "I saw you wearing your funny hat!" He laughed and looked at me for an explanation. To which I told him of our seeing him the week prior at the Independence celebration and he was wearing his hat. He did a belly laugh and looked at Morgan and said "You saw me in my funny hat?" All the while chuckling. I didn't know what to do, so I just laughed with him.

A night at the movies

It's been nearly 2 years since we have been to a movie theater to enjoy a night with the big screen and a bag of popcorn. We spent months watching this theater being built in hopes it would be completed before we left. The day finally arrived and Chad treated us along with "Aunt" Jill to the movies.



We had a choice of 7 different movies. We choose Journey to the center of the earth. Let me just say it was a great movie!
Waiting for dad to get the popcorn and drinks
Morgan is ready for the lights to go out and get the movie rolling!
All this excitement for only $95 EC (that's just $35 US) You tell me where else in the world you can take 4 people to the movies with all the fixings for that price.
Maybe we will luck out and sneek in another movie before we leave. I sense a girls night event...Mama Mia is showing!
