The parties never stop in Puerto Rico and Rhen had another fun gathering this week for all the "graduates" from 8th grade. They have been planning on going to a "prom" that was organized by a group of moms as a way for the kids to gather and celebrate being done with school. It was more of a dance/party where they all got to dress up fancy but didn't have to go with a date. Rhen had a really fun time and looked so darling in her sparkly dress! Once last hoorah for these kids before they're off to summer!
Josh and I also got to go on a fun date with Laura and Carlos this week. Hamilton is playing at the Center for the Arts in San Juan for the next 3 weeks and we got tickets to go! We've never seen it and have been so excited to go. It did not disappoint! It was really really amazing and well done and we had such a fun night together.
We also took to the kids to see a Guynabo Mets basketball game this week which was super fun. DeMarcus Cousins (used to play for the Warriors) is on the team here in Puerto Rico and we wanted to see a game. He ended up not playing in the game we went to but we had fun anyway and I always love me a good basketball game!
The younger kids started summer camp this week at the school and have loved it! They do so many fun projects and activities and it's been fun for them to be back together with their friends. Keen took a fun field trip to the botanical garden in San Juan one day this week and said it was "hot but fun". True words.
Our youth group was able to attend the temple together this week. Carlos and Laura, Joel and Jonathon and me and our kids all went to do baptisms together. It was so beautiful to be there together as a youth group and I love the spirit that we leave with. It was really fun to be there together.
Beck developed some sort of allergy this week to something that he ate or was in contact with. He has been sick with a fever the past couple of days so it may have something to do with that? But he woke up from a nap and said he felt like he had a canker by his top lip that was making it hard to eat. After a minute or two, I realized his upper lip was actually swollen. Throughout the night, it got progressively bigger and bigger! I gave him some benadryl (which promptly put him to sleep for the night) and I'm hoping it starts to go down a little bit within a few hours. Who knows what this is from but other than the fat lip he seems to be doing ok!
Project this week? Finishing touches on painting and covering up the electrical box on the front of the house. The boys are always so great to jump in and work with Josh (for a few minutes anyway!)
I hate to say it, but it's almost our last week here in Puerto Rico :(

We have been working so hard on the house and the yard and school getting out and everything else that the time has slipped away without us realizing it. I'm not even going to talk about it yet, but I will say that we are trying to soak in every last minute that we have here while we have it. The sunsets have been on point this week as a reminder of the incredible life we've had here. Heavenly Father sure knows that we love the sunsets from our deck and has sent some amazing ones for us to enjoy.
This week has been full of lots of projects, but also lots of things that we just want to do at the house. A game of hide and seek, lots of pool time and quiet moments on the deck. It just doesn't seem like we'll ever be able to leave this place. We are in love.
