Lobster-ing!

This past couple weeks I managed to get Andee out of the apartment on two separate occasions!  PTL!  Last Saturday we headed to the Marriott Beach to absorb some sun and swim in the ocean!  Andee even managed to get some slight tan lines in the process!


The following Saturday, yesterday, Andee and I, as well as a few friends, went Lobster-ing out at the Peninsula!  Complete with spear guns, snorkel gear, and nets, we managed to catch five lobster!  (and by "we", I mean Jess!)  We (Jess) then made some delicious Lobster Pasta for all of us!  What an amazing St. Kitts experience!


Since Jess was back in St. Kitts for a brief visit, we had to have her participate in our usual outings such as karaoke, pool and beaching, and other Desperate Housewife activities!  We missed Jess a lot, and it was great to have her back for a visit!


On Friday evening we held a Baby Shower with our Island Family for our friend Aga, who will be having her baby on Island very soon!  We played some baby trivia, cute games, Aga opened her shower gifts, and we all enjoyed some delicious treats! 


The weekends involved some kiddo birthday pool parties for Two-year-old Beau and One-year-old Mason!  Lots of swimming, food, kids and adults made for two excellent and fun-filled birthday parties!


Another great couple of weeks in St. Kitts!  And only 2 months until our visit back home!  Hello Cottage Season!

Welcome to Hurricane Season

So the beginning of June marks the start of hurricane season for the Caribbean, which spans from June 1st to November 30th each year.  So far, no hurricane or tropical storm watches in effect, but we would love for lots of love and prayer for us Honorary Kittitians as we go through our second hurricane season in St. Kitts! 

So my little 1-day-a-week Dental Hygiene volunteer position in Nevis has sure been a blessing for us!  It has definitely provided me with a productive and fun way to spend my Wednesdays, as well as keep up my Hygiene skills!  And also, who else can say that they take a Ferry to work on a neighboring Island?  What an adventure!


The rest of this week and last has involved some Trivia, Karaoke, Girls nights, beach and pool days....you know, the usual.  And a few pics were taken along the way!


Tonight we are celebrating the end of Block One exams with some Shiggity Shack fish burgers and some great neighbors!  What an excellent way to spend a Thursday!

And now...

Only In St. Kitts!

This segment of the blog has been in the making for over 7 months, which is how long it has taken for me to get up close and personal with these two elusive and familiar taxis.  Hope you enjoy this OISK moment as much as we did!


Have a great rest of the week!
