Things here are starting to settle down. It's been a crazy ride! It's starting to cool off a bit. The islanders are wearing jackets etc. and we're finally not dripping wet! 😅 the kids are doing really well. Cart is in the jr. ROTC program and learning to play the tuba! Yes. I said the tuba! He thinks he's the cats meow for being in the ROTC. That is pretty great! Liv is learning the clarinet. Something she's always been interested in but might change over to percussion. She's kinda grossed out by all the spit. 😆 hahahaha!!! Bean is doing well because, well because he's bean. He has found some good friends and so he's happy. Wes has totally embraced the relaxed atmosphere. He loves that he doesn't have to wear his shoes at school. (That grosses me out) and his teacher is awesome! Such a sweet lady. She's also Sullivan's nursery teacher. Ivy has a great teacher but she's still no Mrs. El-Bakri but hey no one is! She loves school. I worried that she'd be tired from a full day but she loves eating lunch at school. That's always the first thing she tells me about. Sullivan is happiest at the beach. (They all are) He loves the waves! (Little ones) I'm doing better. We finally got an AC unit! Yes! I'm starting to decorate the house and so it's feeling more like home. Matt is happy! He looooves his job! They are so good to him! Everyday we see or learn something new! Hope all is well with each and everyone of you! Aloha to you all! We love you!
