It’s time for a statistics update, if not for our followers, at least for us as a reminder of what we have achieved so far. Overall we are thrilled, there are days when we could throttle each other, and days when the heat has got the better of us or the boys are out of sorts but overall we have absolutely loved it. We have met some wonderful people, some will be friends for life. I haven’t worn long sleeves since June 25, 2018 – do I feel like I want to see snow? Nope I don’t…

Endless, worst is Charlie ripping his toe nail off and Ashton ripping his finger nail off. Lara has survived everything without so much as an upset stomach. Charlie is not doing so good at the moment with a mild bout of Pneumonia.

Budget Tracking

Slightly ahead of the budget, but Europe is looming.. yikes

Everyday isn’t easy when it is 24/7 and twin 2 year olds, but for me when I get to spend another almost 3,000 hours this year that I would have lost to work with the family and see these kids grow it is incredible and well worth it. The boys vocabulary is coming on and Lara is now becoming a young lady and looking at high school…wow!

Next blog soon, Pam in Paradise…..
