Getting Used to Things

After 14 days here in Williamsburg I think we are getting the hang of things.  Yesterday was the first day I could get around the city without my navigation and feel completely comfortable.  The kids can recognize places as we drive past and when we get back to our apartment after a LONG day they say “home, sweet home”.  I am so glad the transition was so short and smooth… I can only hope the transition in Jamaica is just as short and sweet.

This past week has been bitter sweet, however.  My oldest baby actually spent the week back at home with his dad so he could attend summer camp.  Now I know my husband is very capable, but after almost 9yrs of being the primary caregiver and my kids going whenever and wherever I go, you can image my anxiety.  I certainly realize, that while I miss my husband I can work and travel while he stays home, but I CAN NOT do it without my children.  I’m so thankful all three are able to travel with me to Jamaica. 

I look forward to seeing both of my guys in a couple of days as when we meet up in DC for the Fulbright Orientation.  I’ll certainly keep you posted on how that goes.  Nothing bu excitement here…

Here's some photos from our last couple of days:

His first view of the ocean... he was a bit overwhelmed and I had to coax him to get closer
His first swim in the ocean... he loved it
