Update for 1-18-07

Today is Thursday -- I don't know the date. It is not important down here. We are doing very well. Joe has been feeling really well, no queezy stomack for 4 days at least. If he goes off vegetarian he has fresh fish from the ocean caught that day so no preservatives etc. He is taking the juice plus pills to supplement the lack of vegetables he is eating. He and the kids are doing two dives this morning. The little kids are in class for 4 hours snorkeling and learning how to use scuba equipment and I took the two teenages Marianne and Matthew snorkeling. We saw lots of great stuff and had a good time. I go to the doctor Monday to see if I can dive yet after my surgery. The kids go home Saturday and Karen and her friend Kelli come on Sunday. The time has gone very fast. It is much easier than 4 years ago because the kids are older and entertain themselves well. Jake our dog is loving it down here in the warm weather. Last night we played hand and foot with 6 of us. Joe team won but this time I was on it so that was great. We feel very blessed that we ar actually here and that Joe is feeling so well. We know the prayers are making a difference. Thank you all so much. We miss all our friends back home but hope the blog will kep us in touch.
God Bless
