Each morning, we rise early and walk for about a mile. My walking, in this short period, has become so much better. I am so encouraged. We are only a few blocks from the water, and as we round that final bend in the lane, we are delighted to see the sun rise over the water.
Nathan has come with us many mornings; and this weekend, Todd joined us. Today, Donna brought Liddy with us, the senior dog. This walk is definitely a family affair!
When we visited CCTC, where Todd works, I caught a picture of Erica - pink on pink - peeking through the beautiful flowers. Sewing for Erica has been fun, but I decided I'd never be able to make all the things I wanted to while I was here; so we took a day and went shopping so Grandma could buy her some pretty new clothes. It's been a very long time since I've interacted with a three-year-old. So much fun. She is delightful.
Todd lead devotions for the students and staff the morning we were at CCTC, and Amanda helped lead the singing. That's the back of Nathan's head on the left - before the haircut.
Morning devotions, as well as a lot of the class meetings, are held in open shelters. In a climate as tropical as this one, there is no need to be inside so much of the time - unless inside is air conditioned and you just need to be cool. One of the staff at CCTC painted a mural - strikingly beautiful. It seemed the perfect place to pose the family.
Every family album must have pictures of Dad at work, and I coaxed Todd into posing for me in his office!
On Saturday, March 31, we spent the morning and part of the early afternoon at the beach. Todd brought a "granny" chair for me, and I lounged comfortably in the shade and thoroughly enjoyed watching the family. Todd, Mandi, and Nathan went snorkling, while Donna and Erica enjoyed playing at the water's edge.
On Palm Sunday, after church, we dined out at a local restaurant and had a really great time.
And then late Sunday afternoon, I accompanied Todd as he took Nathan and his friends to play badmitton - the latest craze here. It's been years since I played. The boys really enjoyed their time at the Court.
