New Camera and New Ride

thebradfordfamily — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 17:26:10 +0000

Joe has a new underwater camera that he tested out with Zach. We also now have a Kawasaki Mule to drive around the project. It is not the most reliable but it sure beats hoofing it!

Isla is in Love

Isla’s boyfriend is Elliot. He is four and she thinks he is amazing. When they are on the boat to school together she turns around and puts out her hand and says “touch me.” When he comes over to our house she says “Elliot can share my toothbrush.” She holds his hand, she always sits close to him and/or stands close to him. He is so polite to her but he really wishes she would leave him alone. Every once in a while Isla gets so aggressive with her feelings that Elliot hauls off and hits her. She cries for a while, but then she gets over it. How do we teach her that she is not supposed to chase but be chased?

Life at Red Frog

The day we returned from Costa Rica we moved out to Red Frog, the development that Joe is working for. Here is a little photo montage of our daily life. You can click on the photos to make them larger.

Dear Santa

Dear Santa and Reindeer,

I hope that you travel safely and do not land in the water. We are going to Costa Rica for Christmas and hope you are able to find us. We are staying at the Volcano Lodge. After Christmas I hope you get to go to Disneyland. I have been good this year, but sometimes I hit my sister. I will try better. I wish for a space shuttle with a large cockpit to fit a headless horseman in.

Love, Zachary

Dear Santa and Deer at the North Pole,

I have tried to be good this year, but sometimes I pee pee in my class. I am trying to be a big girl.

Love, Isla

P.S. I wish for a butterfly for you.

Thai Food

Hiking through mud is a small price to pay for the best Thai food in Central America.

Photos that Sum it ALL Up

This thanksgiving I have to say that I am thankful for the fantastic families we have met here. There are two families that we seem to be gravitating towards and that is the two Red Frog families. They both sailed with us on Zach’s birthday and one is a very good photographer. Thank god she took these photos. Zach’s blond hair returning, Joe’s really long hair and my hair in ponytails says more than anything I could write. Thank you Diem!!!!!
