Last Fall I gave up blogging. After a series of technological challenges
(which included losing our internet connection) and a bad case of island fever,
I was done. Unfortunately, once we got the internet back, it was
much slower and I was not ready to deal with trying to blog with it. My island fever also lasted through the New Year. Then in February, the boys and I went back to
California.
We had a much-needed 4 month break from
island living. I took the time to work
on readjusting my attitude and catch up with family and friends. Unfortunately, I could have used more time to
see friends! While at home, the boys
took off the training wheels on their bikes and became expert riders. (Well, as expert as one can be as a 5 year
old!) Reagan also became a much better
swimmer thanks to all of the pool time we had.
As we were packing up and getting ready to return to Tortola, my mom made one request. Please bring back the blog. For her, I hope I am able to keep up better this
time around!
Since we have been back we have been busy catching up on
things here. We have spent a few afternoons
playing at Nanny Cay and a few boogie boarding at our favorite beach, Long Bay
Tortola. We have been to lunch and celebrated the boys' 6th birthday at our
favorite restaurant, Brandywine. The boys have learned to snorkel and Reilly is now swimming on his own! We’ve had sushi at Origin and been
introduced to a new restaurant that Chris likes called Fish ’N Lime Inn. Overall, we seem to have picked up right
where we left off, only with a better attitude this time around!
So, I hope to get at least one post up a week for my mom. I will do a separate post about the boys' birthday, but for now, here are a few of my favorite shots from our first few weeks
back:
