Here is the last group of pictures.  These are from our trip to Hong Kong in December.

Tai O Village on Lantau Island

Big Buddha

It is a long way to the top especially when you are carrying a toddler.

At Starbucks

Double decker bus on Hong Kong Island

Feeding herself noodles

I know that Joshua is blurry in this picture, but it is the only one that shows how small the hotel room was.  This was the family room, and that is the whole room minus the bathroom.

Another double decker bus

Sai Kung Village

Hong Kong Disney

I carried Lily in the carrier the entire time we were there except the last day when we went to Disney.  It is not stroller friendly when you are riding the subway and buses.  She was so excited to get out of that thing and ride in the stroller.

Soccer

This man is cutting down coconuts from one of the trees in our neighborhood.  They always just climb up there without any sort of safety equipment.  

Silly girl with macaroni and cheese in her hair

I know that I have not posted anything in a LONG time.  We have been so busy getting ready to move back to The States that the blog was put on the back burner.  I have so many pictures that I never posted, so I am just going to put a bunch on here at once and not talk too much.

These are from Chamorro Day at Benjamin's school.

Kissing the little girl's hand

Benjamin's whole class 

Playing with Lily in the bounce house

Getting tired

The boys on Lucy the Carabao...Joshua did not want to ride her, but I made him pose for a picture.  Lucy is a well known site in Guam.  Her owner walks up and down Route 1 with Lucy and his two dogs.

Lucy with her two dogs

I took these next few at Sector (Matthew's work).  These painted carabaos are all over the island.  This is our Coast Guard one.  

Lily was not thrilled.

Silly Ben

November 2011

I am trying to catch up on the pictures that I never posted, so I am just going to put all of November together. The events are completely random, but the kids in the pictures are pretty cute.

When we asked Benjamin what he wanted to do for his birthday, he surprised us and said that he wanted to go camping. It seemed to come out of the blue, although he does talk about going into the jungle A LOT. Matthew took the kids to the campground on Andersen AFB, and they had so much fun. They went to the beach, explored some caves, did some "rock climbing" (Ben is way too adventurous for his own safety!), and went into the jungle. All in all a great time.

Joshua at his Thanksgiving program

This is Benjamin dressed up as a turkey for his Thanksgiving program.

And just because she is cute...Lily after her bath.

Christmas 2011

These first few pictures are from Benjamin's school at their Christmas celebration. We really like Ben's school, and we love that it is a Christian school so they are actually allowed to talk about Jesus during Christmas time. They performed a program with some really cute songs. They took some traditional Christmas songs and changed to words to match an island Christmas. They also sang some sweet songs about Jesus. I am trying to upload the videos, but imovie is not cooperating this morning. I will try again later.

Benjamin makes a pretty cute snowman!

The kids drew names for Christmas presents. Here he is getting his present from Santa.

I tried to take a picture of Lily-Anne with Santa, and this is what I got...Lily trying to jump out of his lap as fast as possible.

We had a nice Christmas service at church on Sunday. The kids did not have Bible class so that everyone could be together for worship time. Lily and I ended up in the foyer for a good part of it, but the boys were pretty good.

Here is Lily-Anne in her pretty Christmas outfit.

She loves the red shoes that MeMa found.

And I love those curls.
