Job

This crazy lady now has a job! I will be teaching Pre-K at the Gifft Hill School on St. John starting in September. Both kids will be going to school there so no more afternoons at the beach for us!

Flamingos

The flamingos annual migration is currently taking place in the dried out salt pond behind our house. They come every year when the salt pond dries up. They started on the outskirts and have moved close the the coral in the middle. I believe once it starts raining again they will migrate back home again.

Volcano

Our whole house is cover in a fine layer of volcanic ash.

The Soufrière Hills Volcano, Montserrat, West Indies, began erupting on July 18, 1995. There has been a partial dome collapse on the west side of the Soufriere Hills Volcano.

The collapse started at 11:27 pm local time on Monday 28th July 2008 without any precursory activity. Part of the western side of the lava dome collapsed generating pyroclastic flows that reached Plymouth and the sea.

There were also a few explosions from the dome during the collapse, with the largest at approximately 11:32 pm.

The height of the ash column was estimated at 12 kilometres (40,000 feet) above sea level.

Rumor has it they closed the airport in St.Thomas due to visibility. Here is a link to Montserrat's web site. http://www.mvo.ms/

The Best of Both Worlds



We had some friends over on Saturday to watch "Hannah Montana and Miley Cyrus The Best of Both Worlds Concert live in 3D" on Disney at 8pm. It was not as wild as the last time a Disney movie was on, Camp Rock, maybe because Luke was not here! Anyway, we had good company, good food and a poor 3D movie but the kids loved it as did Mr.Larry.


What Kids do

My kids like to disappear in thier room. When it becomes quiet you know something is up. One day they took a pen and wrote peoples names on thier arms and drew pictures all over thier body, including their face!

Quinn loves showing off his lost tooth hole. The tooth to the right should fall out any day now.






Walker found a salamander floating on Quinn's shoe in the pool on Friday. She carried it around with her for the evening. Somehow part of his tail fell off!
