Well, it has happened

Well, it has happened... even though, we have physically been here since Dec. it seems like only in the last few weeks have we all started calling Singapore HOME and not the States! It may seem like a small thing but it feels BIG to me. We are all really coming to LOVE this place. Sure we still miss our family, but I guess that is easier with Skype and MagicJack... oh, and the trip we are planning to see everyone in June just around the corner :-) 

Truly, I can't wait to have visitors here. I am so excited to share our new home with family and friends!

We have been busy keeping up with the kids activities. Mainly, the girls. The boys are content to hang close to home and play video games ;-) Emma is gearing up for her part in Peter Pan. She is so excited to be playing Mrs. Darling. Delaney has started intense training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. She is training 5/6 times a week and loves it. I love watching her passion for it. Jax has been preparing for his school's exhibition and been a bit stressed over the size of the project. He is very glad it will be over next week. Ollie is loving school and has really come far in reading!!! Dax is loving the challenges that work is giving him. Both of us started working out with a trainer at our gym. He is kicking our butts!!! I've got some exciting news but am waiting on some final paperwork before I share :-) 

Here are some pictures from the last month or so:

My beautiful 4 at Singapore Botanic Gardens

We went to see Ironman 3! 

We are quickly approaching 1 year plant based! Wow, if you had asked me last April if we would all be vegan I would have thought you were crazy! Now, we are the crazy ones and not looking back. We all feel so much healthier. Eating this way has been such a blessing for us.

My handsome hubby reminding me of my Dad. This is how he always looked after work wearing his white undershirt!

Me wearing my Mom's scarf... it still smelled like her! I was missing her this day and it made the day better.

She had her hair done by our 4 year old neighbour!

Cut his curls off!

MacRitchie Reservoir Park

We went on a fun hike one Saturday to MacRitchie Reservoir Park. We did the treetop walk. It was great fun. One thing I love about Singapore is there are lots of places to get outdoors and explore. We can let the kids run free. It was very muddy the day we went... rainy season and all. I think that helped to make it more fun :-) We saw lots of monitor lizards and a few monkeys. The plants and trees were equally fun to see. We were hot, dirty and sweaty when we finished which is right up my crew's alley!!!

On our way out, we passed a monkey getting into a trash can. There was a small crowd gathered around watching him. The boys started getting a little too close and that sucker showed its nasty, large teeth. Yikes, they don't lie on those signs that say feeding the monkeys alters their behaviour and may makes them aggressive. Um... scary! Thankfully, I pulled them back fast. Oh, they thought it was AWESOME.... so what do I know ;-)

lots of stairs

The kids were so cute. This was them taking a picture of the first monkey they saw :-) I love the sparkle it captures in their eyes. 

Emma was a great sport this day and let me take lots of pictures of her!

Getting around the mud and water.

Ahhhh...monkeys!

Beautiful trees

We love all the signs that are posted here ;-)

Posing for Mom!

Sweet brothers and best friends! They both carried a camera this day and got lots of great shots!

My loves

 Don't turn back... but you also can't pass the monkey!

Aren't the trees amazing?!?!

 Very TRUE sign!!!

Near the end of our hike... they all still had smiles!
