Day 7.............................






Wow! So far time has flown, I am sure as it goes on it will start to drag, however for now, we are enjoying our time together! It was rainy today, so we didn't do too much, but we were able to enjoy a picnic outside! We were going to go out and get groceries, and lunch, but it was sprinkling, so we decided to eat in, and when lunch was ready, it stopped, so we ate outside!



We played a game of life, and Ryan played catch with the boys! And of course they went swimming!





Then we went out for dinner, (I am getting better at ordering!)and went to a different grocery store~not doing that one again~ it was out of almost everything! But, we got enough to get us by! The kids are in heaven, we are eating soooo bad! It is hard to eat healthy and stay safe, so we have regular oreo's, and chips ahoy cookies(usually I get organic!,)pop, and sugary cereal!! Wow, we will need to detox after this trip!! Anyway, we took Ryan on his first tuk tuk adventure! He kept saying, are you sure we can ALL fit in there? I wish I had taken a picture! We did, and our groceries too!! This has become the boys most favorite thing! So if you want to visit, you too can take the ride of a lifetime!!

Anaya slept until 6:15 am again this morning! I am now hoping for 1 more hour out of her, that would be wonderful. Because as of now, we are all up and at 'em much earlier than we were at home! But other than that, things are going very well. We are going to have Anaya's 1st b-day party tomorrow! Please pray that she gets the best gift ever ~ her new birth certificate with OUR last name on it!! Thanks so much for checking in on us, we love to read your comments!

I know what you mean about detoxing. You beging to feel awful after a steady diet of junk food.
