Look at Me Go!

On Thursday, September 13th, Miriam learned to pull herself up from sitting in her crib to standing. The next day, she was cruising around the crib while holding on to the railing.

Life in Dominica

Since we don't have hot water in our apartment, I heat water for the kids and bathe them in the kitchen sink. They absolutely hate cold showers! I can't blame them. If I could fit in the sink, I would bathe there too.

Dr. Morgan Fife

On Friday, September 7th, Morgan participated in the White Coat Ceremony. They had the Prime Minister of Dominica attend and speak to all the 1st semester medical school students. Then at the conclusion they were instructed to put their white doctor coats on as a way to start them on their journey to becoming a real doctor. The kids and I were too loud so we played outside during the ceremony. But here is the Luke supporting his Dad after the ceremony...

Suitcases and Barrels...What do they have in common?

The Fifes put their kids in them!

It took a week for the town's taxi service to deliver our crib for Miriam. We finally decided to make her a makeshift crib out of our largest suitcase, diapers, towels, and crib bedding. She slept great! The real crib finally arrived and now everyone has their own bed!

Luke loved helping Morgan unpack the barrel we had shipped from home. Luke's job was to help unload all the diapers that were at the bottom and out of Morgan's reach. Now we use the barrel for water storage in the event of future hurricanes. Don't worry...Luke doesn't get to play inside it anymore.
