Its a LOVE Story

Well our weekend is moving right along. Josh is preparing for his block exams tomorrow~ its a very stressful time for him. I have successfully completed two whole days of teaching :-) and I am still alive! YAHHH! We can't wait until tomorrow afternoon when Josh is done with his tests- we have plans to go swimming and grill out at a friends house and since tomorrow afternoon is joshs only true break because then Tuesday morning its back to class and getting ready for block exams in three weeks~ we thought we'd take advantage of the break and go have some fun!

However, back to the topic of this blog. Maggie has a new friend... you could even say a new BOY friend. He is a little younger (only 4 months!) but she has the energy to keep up with him! Our neighbor has a little boy puppy and maggie spends hours on the deck smelling him through the posts that separate our deck areas. Then after a while they both start crying :,-(. And everytime we go out walking she has to stop at their door to give out a little cry. So we have decided they need some playtime together! And as you can see in the pictures they LOVE it!

One thing we are trying to avoid while we are here is the DENGUE FEVER or breakbone fever. Which is transferred my mosquitoes and there was a outbreak after the hurricane of Dengue on St Maarten. As you can see from the lovely picture below of my leg the mosquitoes love me! So I am trying to use bug spray everytime I leave the house and trying to take care of the bug bites properly. We also have to watch the dogs here because they can get sick from various bites and stuff. Also we have to be careful how much outdoor time they have since they are not used to the heat they have problems cooling down.... maggie has resorted to sleeping on her back to keep herself cool during the day ;-)
