A few misc. items

So a few things we have learned since moving to the Philippines.

Hot Dogs are red.  If you are from Maine, this is normal.  Otherwise, it's just not!  However, each and every hot dog has a clear plastic wrapping over it which has to be removed before cooking. . . yes, I use the word annoying, while doing the removal of said plastic, often!

 My kids have become fish.  Jumping, camera slow-mo, funny fish!  It's nice to see their confidence in the water grow so much!  When we first moved here, Andrew wouldn't even go where he couldn't touch the bottom.  Now he is never there!  Once he decided he was ready, he never looked back!  It really is fun to see.

 We got another puppy.  We unfortunately had to re-home our loving goldendoodle when we left India.  It was just too quick of a move and too much to take on at the time.  So this time we went with a small fluff ball we call Chewy.  His name is Chewbacca, but of course we only say Chewy.  He is a Shih Tzu.  He will grow some as he is still young, but not nearly as big as our goldendoodle! 

 Addison started ballet.  Basically her only dance option here, but she loves it, so it's ok.  Isn't she so cute?!

 Oh yeah, the kids also love swimming in the rain. . . serious fish right here.

My daughter has style.  I loved her look so much this day as she was pushing this cart I just couldn't help but take a picture!

 Crab is cheap here.  This one was actually a bit spicy, so I didn't help try to eat it!

 This rainbow's lavender color was so clear, it was fabulous!! The pictures just don't do it justice.

Twins started 1st grade.

 They actually wear uniforms to class.  They arrived the week after school started, but it's a small school and everyone was in the same boat!

Evan and Brayden are going into 7th grade and 5th grade.  I'm homeschooling them, so we will see how they do!! 

Well, just a few misc. items I had to share!
