Beach day at Playa Azul again this week and though it was a bit of a rainy day, it cleared up just in time for us to sit on the sand and get some sun. Sometimes I have to just marvel at the place we live and how beautiful it is!
We’ve been on a dance kick lately and the Josh found this video on YouTube for the boys to start learning some dance moves. It was hilarious and awesome to watch them follow along so closely and try to replicate the dance. Hopefully we all learn some rhythm before too long!
Other happenings this week:
Rhen got her graduation shirt from school and now the 8th graders get to wear them every Monday instead of their uniforms if they want to. Graduation from middle school is kind of a big deal here so they were excited to get their shirts and show them off!
We introduced Chinese checkers at the branch activity and it was a huge hit!
Our friend Carlos, who is a recent member of the church, is so sweet and has started coming to all the branch activities and sharing his sweet soul with us.
Desh dancing naked in the pool, Tilly lounging in the hammock, running in the rain and Desh celebrating Miss Garcias birthday in class this week rounded out the school week.
Friday night Josh and I tried out a sushi restaurant in Condado that was actually pretty good. We haven’t had sushi since we got here so it was fun to find some! We loved walking around the little shops and ended up down at the beach and watched some surfers while the sun was setting. It was pretty beautiful and we just realized again how lucky we feel for this little window of time we get to be here on the island!
Saturday we celebrated the big 1-2 for Liev! How can my boy possible be that old already?! I will say, he has started to seem more grown up the past few months and I can see him growing into a young man right wife my eyes! He’s been passing the sacrament at church, has found a calm, thoughtful side at times (especially when he’s not with his brothers) and has even found a girl at school that he thinks he likes! All things that prove that he’s getting older and wiser :)

He invited some friends from school over for a pool party and they spent the day swimming and splashing and making a big ruckus in the pool (just what you’d expect from 12 year old boys), ate lots of pizza and cake, and even ended the day with a dance fight in the pool with the music cranked up loud. They were such fun boys to have around and they all love Liev as a friend and classmate. I’m so glad to see my boy have good friends and making such good memories with the kids here. It makes my heart full to see him happy!
Happy birthday to our 12 year old Liev!
