Finally Legal

Yay! My visa came through!
The funny part about it is that it says my occupation is "housewife" then goes on to say "Not allowed to work".  Someone told John years ago, "She wants you for your money." And his response was, "If she marries me she will never work again, unless of course she wants to." Ha! So that line on the visa tickles me.
It was such a pain in the ass to get, all ex-pats here know how annoying it is trying to get a visa.
So happy I am done with that phase and I never have to leave the Palm again!

Now that I am used to this place I have found my new comfort zone which consist of pool, beach and beach club.

It has everything I want or need so I don't see any reason to ever leave.

I am finding friends here now. We get the kids together, meet at the restaurant, go to movie night, go shopping together (the only reason to leave the Palm).

Someone asked me, "Don't you feel isolated there?"
Ummm, YES!! Wonderfully isolated!

The kids have all their friends now and play and play and play for hours on end.
I mean, hello, playground on the beach, soccer on the beach, the beach, the pool, electric scooters to go up and down the sidewalk on the beach.
No complaints from their department.








And I just love this picture! This is how I see her eyes when I look at them.
 She is getting more beautiful by the second!!
And hello eyelashes! They actually touch her eyebrows! She def didn't get those from me! Lucky girl!

Star Wars Birthday Party

By
It's that time of year for the boys double birthday party!! Since I... I mean they are so into star wars that was the obvious choice of a party theme. It was so cute at the end of the party after the boys opened all their gifts and John says, "Well, what did Mummy and I get you?"  They both shrugged.  I said, "We got you this beautiful party, and that is your gift." They both hugged us and said thank you without even complaining that we didn't buy them anything, such gracious boys! Then John brought out their bikes and they went crazy!! It was the cutest thing. Happy Birthday to our wonderful boys, Happy 7th and 9th Birthday Ethan and Kaiden!

And the Fun Begins

By
On Sunday, March 11th, we welcomed our newest family member.  Amalia Rachael Emily Benham. It all began Saturday morning.  I had signs of labor but we had the Pinewood Derby so I hoped she would wait.  And of course, she did. Contractions started coming in very slowly and Mummy and Binx came over.  We hung out, and hung out, and hung out and the contractions weren't getting stronger but slowly moving closer together.  We all finally took naps then we started hanging out again.  Finally at 12am we decided to go to the hospital. 3 cm dilated and I was admitted. Kindle, my bff of course came to the hospital as well.  All our biggest supporters were there. Waiting for Baby  Getting some well needed rest. Last moments before birth  My contractions never got  intense before the epidural kicked in, thank goodness.  Somehow my left side didn't kick in so I could feel it all on that side, but because I have back labor and I co...
