Happy Easter from the Marshalls in St. Maarten!
Saturday the Spouses Organization put on a great Easter celebration for the island kids. There was egg dying, build your own peep house and finished off with an egg hunt at the school's playground. I feel so thankful to be a part of the Spouses Org, and like to participate in just about everything. All the spouses on the board serve a great role in making all spouses and families feel welcome here on the island. Holidays in particular can feel lonely..you're not around extended family, doing normal traditions, etc., but being around our new "island family" lessens that sad feeling.
Speaking of island family, our friends Robert and Gozzie came over Saturday evening for some card games, and adult beverages after the kids went to sleep. I may have had one glass of wine too many and serenaded our guests with country music with full on country twang. Good times ;)
Sunday morning Bradley and Ian woke up extra early (7am ouch) and we headed downstairs to see what the Easter Bunny brought. We are not a religious family, so Easter has become quite the commercialized holiday, but it's all fun.
The rest of the afternoon was spent down by the pool while Jordan went to study. We took the bubble wand that Bradley got in his basket and blew bubbles and enjoyed the sunshine. Our hometown of Wichita received 3" of snow for Easter morning! I'll take sunshine over snow any day.
Another great weekend documented on this medical school adventure on this beautiful island!
