The Henry Family Blog: Mid-semester Break! :)

The FOUR Amigos!

So I guess we're finally getting back to normal and not so terribly sad that Mom is back home....those first few days without her here were pretty rough though! So now I'll get you up to date on the last few days of the goings on here in St. Kitts. On Thursday we headed to the Royal St. Kitts for our usual parents and kids time at the pool there. Isaiah had a really fun time and it's nice now that he's becoming more interactive with other kids. He really enjoyed being around the other kids and got excited to see other kids swimming and playing in the pool too, which was great! The floaty that Lynne sent and the swimmies my Mom brought have been working great. I still have to hold on to Isaiah so he doesn't tip forward, but most of the time I just hold on to the floaty, so he feels pretty independent motoring around the pool!

On Friday and Saturday we were pretty much just in the house all day because Isaiah had a little cold right now and really wasn't a happy camper especially on Friday. He still has a bit of a runny nose and a cough, but he seems to not be bothered by it at all today. We did go to Jakki and Joe's and took Chinese food for dinner on Saturday evening and had a great time hanging out with them! We even played a game of Scattergories after dinner and had a really fun night! Saturday I did get out of the house during the day to take Isaiah to the grocery store to get some things we needed, so that was nice too just to get out for a bit!

Sweet little Brody

Yesterday we went to church in the morning then came home for Isaiah to nap. Josh and I were planning on going to the beach, but decided just to enjoy the rest of the morning doing things around the house together and let Isaiah get a good nap in. Then we went to Jason and Jen's apartment complex for a pool party and BBQ to celebrate mid-semester break, which meant that all the students had today (Monday) off to recuperate a little and prepare for the 2nd half of the semester. I can't believe we're already halfway done, but Josh is doing great so far. We're just praying he can keep it up and have a great 2nd semester!!!

Today, Josh headed to school this morning to study for the day to try to begin to prepare for his 2 exams next week and Isaiah and I headed to the beach with Jakki around lunchtime. Isaiah fell asleep in the car and slept through lunch at the beach bar/grill at Reggae when we got there. We joined Harley & Damon, Jessie & Beau, and Kristen & Brody at lunch and spent some time hanging out in the water and on the beach with them too. After getting them out of the water, all the boys were changed into their diapers and that's where all the cute pictures are from this post! We had a really nice time and now we're back home in the A/C! It's been ridiculously hot here the past few weeks and I'm praying for a little cool down!!! Love to everyone at home and a shoutout to Grandma and Grandad Hood who I've learned have been enjoying the blog with their new internet use!!! Below I've included some scenic pictures I took while Mom was here I hope you enjoy. We love you all...have a great week!
