Random Growth and Update


In the jungle of our yard, growing and growing!

We have been pretty busy lately with doctor appointments for the baby, making a space for him in our cabin, keeping up with the landscaping (Britton has been having to pull a lot of weight, and I have been putting a lot on -haha), Farmer’s Markets and cabana rental activities amongst all the other various things we have to do to keep all the balls in the air (lawn mower repair, car repairs, house maintenance, shopping, etc). Here’s a little glimpse into some of our random life as it grows along.


Putting the crib together. A beautiful gift from a friend!


Snail hitched a ride to the farmer’s market


Some of our flowers and goods at the market


International Folk Dance night in Rincon was fun


These little geckos are everywhere. They have just become part of the background now


A walk through the tropic gardens


Plumeria in bloom smell so good!


Baby belly needed a rest


Croooaaak!


We hadn’t seen the inside of a hospital at all in many years of living here, and now seem to be getting a whole island tour! Mayaguez Medical Center


Britton and one of the friendliest souls in Rincon, Angel


Britton, turkeys and a cute back-up crib that was also a lovely gift


I actually use these scales that are everywhere in Puerto Rico. I also get my horoscope in Spanish! All for a peseta (quarter)


Dragonfly resting on the truck antenna after eating up the skeeters


A cool car and a cool spot by the water


A wild fruit we found growing by the quebrada that I learned is the delicious local named: pomarrosa blanca


Farm grown pomegranate isn’t as big, but is pretty juicy and good!


Fun girl’s night out (at the Goat house)


This guy is so funny! He dresses up as various comic characters and sells popcorn and other snacks around Rincon (that’s got to be hot!)


View from on high when we took a jaunt up the high hills of Rincon to Pico Atalaya to this abandoned property. It’s a steep trek on scary roads, but the vistas are amazing.

Well, that’s it for our little mish-mash of random life updates. You can also check out my latest baby bump update.

Oh and here’s a cute little song we made up one night at home: Enjoy.

Out and About: More Island Scenes

I hope you enjoy some of these recent island scenes from our yard and out and about.

Horse and seaThis sort of captures a feeling of Rincón doesn’t it? Horse and sea

Turkey mama and babies
Turkey mama and even more pavitos came out of the forest. We’re going to have to downsize on the number of turkeys as we are getting overrun!
