It has rained over here in Okinawa for about 17 day straight. This might sound like it is okay to those of you in Florida, but it has been raining nonstop for that long, no afternoon showers for us. Today is the first day the sun has been out and it feels so nice. I can almost hear all the people running to the beach!
Matt has been gone for just over a month now and he must have taken the nice weather with him. He is in Texas in the 100 degree weather. He is doing okay with his class, but says that it is difficult at times. He is really ready to come home. I know he gets really bored on the weekends especially because he doesn't have a car or tons of extra money to be running around doing stuff. He has about 5 weeks left and then he will be headed back to Okinawa.
Colin is sick right now so we are taking it easy today. I finally got his hair cut and it looks good but he looks a whole year older. He talks so much now and usually uses his words to tell us what he wants. He loves playing outside and jumping on the trampoline. Hopefully we will be able to get back to the beach soon so that he can practice swimming as well.
Ryan is happy that school is out, but he is already driving me crazy. I am going to get him in swim lessons soon. I also signed him up to take a periodic art class and I need to look into the golf lessons. They have a beginning drawing class for 5-10 year olds, but I think that maybe he should wait until next year for that one. I just wan tot keep him busy so that he doesn't drive me too crazy.
Today is the las tday that I am going to watch Aidan until the summer is over. I also stopped cleaning the house that I was cleaning. Starting next week I am going to watch our friends baby for a little while because there are no slots in the daycare center for him. He is only one month old so it should be interesting. I have only volunteered once since Matt has been gone, but I am hoping to go again soon. I am also watching my other friend's dog for a month while she is in the states, I have only had hime for 2 nights so far and it is already quite challenging. Having him here I can really see how good our dog is.
I better go and run my errands while it is not raining so I will post some pictures later today. We love you and miss you all!
