Family Time Fun

Daddy's little girl. She holds his heart and his money.
Enjoying an imitation Oreo for our Family Home Evening treat.

Even Miriam got to eat one...or mutilate it.


Flying high in Dad's arms!


Wow! Look how strong Daddy is!


Attack of the Miriam!

Mommy and Miriam smiling big for the camera.
We are loving life and the light that our children bring to our family. Luke and Miriam make every day so much sweeter here. We are especially doing well since we discovered that we do in fact have a water heater. I had been heating water for over a month unnecessarily! All that time and energy wasted! I found the switch to turn the heater on one evening while throwing garbage in the can under the sink. I just about jumped through the ceiling in delight when I felt the warm water running from the faucet. Who knew that Dominicans turn their water heaters on/off rather than automatically having them on! However, those cold showers toughened me up. Last night the water was shut off due to all the rain we had received that day. I guess they were trying to keep the dirt out of the lines. So Morgan and I had bucket showers from our water barrel. I am so grateful that we filled it when we did for those very times when the water would be shut off. So for Family Home Evening tonight, we refilled the barrel and got extra drinking water for the next time that this happens. It just strengthened my testimony of following the prophet's counsel of being prepared for emergencies.

Hi Kristin! I met you once long long ago, but I grew up with Morgan and saw your blog from Tara's. I can't believe you moved to the DR! I hope you are having fun! My sister lives in PR, so we'll stop by the next time we are in the carribean! Tell Morgan I said hello!
