Trampoline


So, we're going to have to go backwards with some of the things we have done so that we can put in some of our fun pictures. We finally got our trampoline up, and Lilly learned how to really jump. Every time we go outside, she runs to the trampoline. She is getting to be really good at it. At first she was afraid to jump high, but now she just jumps and doesn't worry. Plus, we both love jumping on a trampoline too. It took a while to get it up becuase our surround was too big, so we had to figure a way to make it work. We overlapped it on the poles and you can't even tell. It's fun figuring out how to make things work.




If you listen, you'll notice that Lilliana calls John, "John". She is starting to call him Daddy finally, but John is just a lot easier to say. ;-) Then when she wants you to come somewhere or do something, she will tell you, and then nod her head. In this video she pats the trampoline to show that she wants John to come and jump, and then she nods her head "yes", so that he will. You can also see in the background what the base houses look like around here. Ours looks the same.

Snorkeling




So, one of the fun things we've done lately is to go to the beach. We finally have had time to go and try out our snorkeling gear and Lilly's life jacket. Snorkeling is a lot of fun, but when you can see what you're swimming over it makes you a little nervous because you know there are sharks and stuff out there. Lilly loves to play in the waves. The life jacket is great because she likes the waves to knock her over and then she just floats on her back. The one sad thing is that our camera accidentally went swimming as well, so now we have to get a new one. :-( Oh well. John has started his scuba certification, so we are going to be going here soon. We'll try to find one of those disposable waterproof cameras so that we can take some cool pictures.

The year went by quickly.

So, we're not really blog savvy, but we are going to try. Christmas was a lot of fun. We actually got the rest of our stuff here and managed to find our Christmas decorations beforehand. I actually wanted to put up one of our nativities on our entertainment center but didn't find time. So, John let us put it up Christmas morning before we opened gifts. Now we are busy trying to unpack and get ourselves settled in before we leave again. It will be nice to not come home to a pile of boxes.

So... we started a blog.

Lilly is all dressed up and ready to head to a Halloween party they were having at the church.














Since we were in the states we didn't have access to all of our things, and ended up making bunny ears out of paper. It worked well, until we came to the little duck pond. Lilly loves water, and was reaching in to play and to get a duck, and next thing you know... she had fallen in! After that, one of her ears flopped. But, we have to say that it was still very cute. :-)
