Dave's new tea light idea- and one of my presents...

it's a sea urchin- yes the spiney guys all over in the ocean- isn't he amazing!

I love FLOWERS!

Happy Birthday to me! love Daisy and Jason.

Dave is so talented at arranging :)

Cute little Emmerson!

I love her proud little face!

I just want to eat her little cheeks!

Rainy day= home for Emmy and Liz/Cabrits for Jason and Dave

Enjoying the armory- these ruins and vines look just like The Jungle Book

Dave in the "sewer"(we are guessing) under the ruins- Jason joined him and it was apparently VERY CRAZY!

Coolest Crab EVER!

Boys and their cannons...

Beautiful!

LOBSTER FEAST in Dominica!

They started like this...

and after the most delicious lobster cream pasta of my life.... we digressed! :)

Emmy not only loved the pasta but the lobster too!

but she didn't love it quite as much as her Daddy and Uncle Dave did-- it could have something to do with the fact that it was Dave and Jason that speared them so that we could have our wonderful feast.

doesn't this look like a chinese restaurant menu picture?!

odds and ends of Dominican life!

this was a pizza crust Emmy was eating and threw down- a little while later I was cleaning up and look at the 1000 new friends I found!

Dave picked me beautiful flowers and even arranged them :)

HOORAY!

Emmy's deciding to walk to Daddy.

Cute times in Toucari Bay!

Emmy loving her black sand filled life.

Isn't she just so cute peeking around Jason's legs- she really is so tiny!

fun! she loves the surf :)

Sunset Bay with the Horsleys

Dave's first lobster dinner in Dominica!

Look at our feast- there were 5 adults and 2 kids but still! :) It was delicious!

This is Tate- one of Emmy's new island friends :) I'm crossing my fingers that Emmy is as cute when she is 2 and a half because I want to eat Tate alive every time I see her! We are so happy that she and her family are here- hooray!

Emmy and Uncle Dave enjoying the pool at Sunset Bay- we were allowed to use all of the amenities because we ate there- what fun! :)

Cabrits/Fort Shirley- fun times for all!

LOTS of family pictures :)

Emmy in the cute little outfit from Cancun- thanks Booky, Papa, Dave and Josh!

Jason hauled Emmy all over Fort Shirley- that's why he is so thin! :)
