One year ago

Well folks..guess what?!

One year ago this month Duke became a pirate. He had his leg amputated because he had cancer. We are elated to report that Duke happily celebrates one year being cancer free! Praise God! We are so blessed to have Duke and his good health. He is just as happy today as he was when he had 4 legs. Nowadays he is just a triple threat!

So here's to our handsome boy....












Duke vs. Monkey




Life is sweeter with friends

From time to time the rock gets a little dull...I know shocker!
But there is a silver lining to everything. Without our friends our life would just not be complete or as sweet. And especially here it helps to have someone to share those "I can't believe that just happened" or "Did you see that"..."Did you know the bank closes at 2 pm"..."Oh by the way the store is still out of tomatoes...for the 5th week in a row"..."Today I had a cow block the road"..."Today I saw a man sweeping the gravel out of the round-about"..."The store charges an extra fee for cold drinks"..."Did you see the man with his motorcycle helmet on top of his dreads"..."They are clearing the by-pass with machetes and most are wearing flip-flops"

As precious as our friends are it is even sweeter to be reminded of God's presence. No matter where our journey takes us on St. Kitts, God still finds us, even at the top of a volcano.
