Meet The Crew

I have been hanging our with these wonderful people that live by me.
We are all in different buildings but we meet for dinner on the weekends.
We also hang out during the week sometimes.

Denise, she is Amalia's replacement Grandma since Mummy is so far away.
She misses her Grandson so it works for them both.  She is extremely sweet and from New York.

Then there is Donna, Tiffany's Mom, from England.  And her husband Stewart who is A LOT like my Daddy.  I did some investigation and they are both Tauruses and in the Chinese Zodiac they are oxes! Go figure!!


 The cool part is we meet at restaurants in our back yard and the kids get along so well and run around playing on the beach and at the playground with lots of other kids while we get to hang out without ever really leaving home.

Right now there is a serious competition between Denise and Donna for Amalias love.  This came about because Amalia has been so attached to me and they were determined to get to hold her.   Looks like Donna is in the lead!
The difference between friends back home and friends here is huge.
And it's simple and makes sense.
None of us have family here, we ARE each others family.
I am so happy I found them.

Long Awaited

Ethan has had the typical "little brother" problems. A huge one being that he has been going to all Kaidens scouting activities for 2 years and couldn't participate. Being the observer of your bigger brother having fun... not so much fun. Then we had the move to Dubai, so what should've been his first year, wasn't. He was so excited and was all smiles at his very first scouting event where he could participate! I can't get over how cute and official he looked in his uniform. He took every belt loop he earned extremely seriously. It's also weird to see Kaiden in his webelo uniform, I always saw it as for the "bigger boys". I guess my little Kaiden is one of the big boys now. 

Mr. and Mrs. John Benham!!!

This is the moment we have both been waiting for for years! It was perfection. Nothing short of magical. We had quite a bit of time after getting ready, there were so many emotions, so happy I laughed, so happy I cried. I love these photos and am so happy that every moment was captured.  Can't wait to see the professional ones!                                 Waiting for the go ahead                                         It's time!!                              Everyone ready t...

Because Of You

Daddy, because of you I...well, exist.  Because of you I know I am special because you told me every day.Because of you I made it through some really hard times, you were and are still always there for me.  Because of you I always know I have a friend to listen that always has my back.  Thanks for letting me watch T.V. when I wasn't allowed to, bringing me home chocolates and pepsi (which was a BIG deal back then).  Thank you for everything you have done for me, and I hope you know how much I love you. Jesse, because of you I have the 2 most wonderful little boys in the world.  I know we may not always see eye to eye but when it comes to our boys we can always come together and do what is best for them and I appreciate that, and I am sure when they are old enough to understand what we do for them, so will they. John, because of you the boys have a good role model.  Because of you  I get to show them by example what a loving, caring relationshi...
