In Honor of Friends

So yesterday I had the bright idea that the boys needed to get their hair cut against their wishes. We went to a recommended place only to find it closed. So we went to the place next door called Mr. Suave. The result?
Terrible haircuts: $7.00 each.
Hats to cover up terrible hiarcuts: $25 each. New friends who are happy to hang out with you regardless of what your hair looks like: priceless.

This is a photo of the boy's new friends Daniel and Felix. Although they agree that Kierik's hair looks ..."bad" they said they like him anyway. The boys all attend the same small private school, love to play soccer together, and are having fun teaching each other new games. They are from Korea and the share a love of a good Kung Fu movie, which is what they are watching in this photo. Little Daniel fell asleep early on. Glad to know he feels so at home at our house. Their mom and dad hosted us on Saturday night for some amazing Korean food. They are so kind and very generous people. Kim (the dad) introduced Matt to the Korean drink that tastes a lot like a Gin and Tonic. We had a really nice time and feel so lucky because they only live 2 houses away from us. This is one of the benefits of living on such a small island.

We are so lucky to have such dedicated friends on this island. Tyce has offered to go watch cage fighting with Matt this Friday and has agreed to rally some friends so he doesn't have to go it alone. Angie does not LOVE diving and yet she has gone with us twice. This photo is of Angie being kissed by a red snapper! Thanks Angie for allowing my family this incredible experience and for continuously being a good sport!

This photo is in honor of my dear friend Heidi and Sylvie's first friend Willah who have generously shared many many adorable outfits with us. This little green skirt is one of them. Sylvie and I picked dozens of flowers and she very carefully stuck them through these little holes in the skirt until she was completely adorned with flowers. Ahhhh to finally have my little girl - smile. Many of the flowers had fallen out by the time I thought of snapping this picture. We can't wait to get back and play at the Firefly with Heidi and Willah!

Mom, I want to give you a shout out publicly on this blog for two major accomplishments in one day. Congratulations for learning how to Skype and for posting a comment on my Blog! You have now successfully entered the 21st century and I for one am happy you have arrived!
