I finally downloaded the pictures I had on my camera. I haven't taken many this month but here are some of them and a few of our activities. We have a wonderful new family that moved to the island and into the branch. They are the Grampp Family and I am so excited they are here. They are such a fun, cute couple and have 2 beautiful, very fun daughters. They invited some of the families over to their house a few weeks ago for a BBQ. It was so much fun. This is their back yard!!! I am so jealous aren't you? ;)

We enjoyed the beautiful Cayman sunset; and then had wonderful food with great company.
Here are all the girls that were at the BBQ. I love all my new friends that I have made on the island. They are all so sweet and really help fill the space when I get missing family and friends from home.
On Valentine's day we went to lunch at our favorite place, Hammerheads!!! The girls and I got their wonderful Fish & Chips!! Austin ventured out a little and got the shrimp & Chips. It is right on the water and the girls love to look off the deck at the big tarpon fish swimming around. It was great to be here insted of in a flower shop like I had been the last 2 years. Don't get me wrong, I LOVED doing flowers but on Valentines Day it was about the worst place you could be. This V-Day was much more relaxing.
These pictures I actually took the day I got my ticket. This is where I was coming home from so it was worth it. The girls had a great day swimming. Isn't the view wonderful? This is the north beach in West bay. Allie is such a little fish. She loves to swim and is getting so good at it. She rarely needs my help anymore.

And finally a drive and ice cream with Rita and Lyle. They are our next door neighbors. They are great! The girls and I go on rides with them every so often just to drive around and see the island. Occasionally we stop and get ice cream at this little Italian ice cream shop.
Ice cream sure does melt fast here :D

Before I moved here I was so excited to live in a place that was warm and nice all year; especially during the months of Jan, Feb, and March when winter seems to drag on forever. I swore I was going to have the most fun those months and go to the beach everyday. Well... so far I haven't gone to the beach too much in Jan or Feb, however it has been wonderful to be here enjoying this beautiful island and gorgeous weather. Hopefully, I will get to the beach a little more in March ;)

Love your choice of songs. Practically makes me cry everytime, 'cause I know it's your blog, and I can't be with you and yours. My favorite part this time - that the ticket was worth it. I tried to download the pics of Karins pool, for motivation to win those airline points so we can all come see you. Didn't work. But I'm going to win them anyway. Your girlfriends are all cute! Nice to see Rita and Lyle too. Luv Mom

What a fun update! I love all the photos.

We need to get together soon. David and I were talking about how we miss you and Austin (and the girls of course). Let's plan something! :)
