Emmy looks like a little shake and bake!
Daddy buried here and she had so much fun!
Here is Ella enjoying a drink- the funny thing is, look at Emmy going crazy in the back!
kooky girl
please look at the sand in her hair...
Emmy had so much fun today and as a result has taken 3 naps- we have to do this more often!
can't you just hear the laugh?
I love this pic- so neat.
Emmy and Daddy- playing, hiking, walking...
Emmy and Mommy!
in the bus on the way (the school has free trips during break) :)
a perfect Dominican shack!
St. George meets Dominica- it's breathtaking.
this reminds me of Easter.
the amazing island where we live!
For some reason the waves have been HUGE the past few days...
Emmy kissing Daddy.
waiting for the waves.
this was after a wave- hence the drips-
right after a wave- Daddy saved her :)
Don't you just love this shot! I do :)
one of my new favorite pictures!
we were up on a retaining wall- and look how high the waves still got!
yesterday we saw this cow in labor-
it seems like every car here has something AWESOME written on it
a hawk- what?
our pretty mountains with the men loading plantains.
the house where the mean dogs live- 
and yet more perfect palm trees- I can't get enough of them :)
we started from our house...
then we needed sticks to scare the bad dogs away (seriously)
then hike and hike and hike.
then cross the river,
climb on the rocks and swim in the river...
then dry off and go home!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Jason's Christmas wish was to have Turkey *check! he even craved the bird :)
Emmy's was to be a big kid...
be in a "secret garden" *check!
act crazy *check!
and catch the moon (her most favorite thing)- here are a few failed attempts!
jason loved his presents and used his knife (pictured later)
Emmy EMBRACED Christmas present opening wholeheartedly this year
She even had to be in on the action when I opened my gifts
Emmy loved her ball...
a little elf and her doll!
who needs presents when you have Kleenex?
J got juggling balls (he's quite good) but Emmy loved them most!
