Myra grew up to be quite the little toddler. She has her father's mouth...I hope she grows into it well. Both twins are as smart as can be, already showing interesting in learning to talk and walk. I think they want to be independent all ready!
The twins celebrated thier birthday this past simday. Jadhira gifted each with a small token from her vacation and we all ate chocolate organic cake. I must say, they inherited my mouth to say the least. Naraj looks just like me except with Jadhira's coloring and hair color and eye color. Myra looks like her mother but with my coloring. We shall see how they grow into thier features.
On our last simday I did a bit of shopping. I picked up some souveniors for the twins and found a book with photos of the island for Johan. While in the shop I was fascinated with these large tropical birds. I wouldn't mind buying one for the house, but the cats would probably terrorize it...still, they were so very cute. I might have to discuss it with Johan, but we'll have to wait until the new house is complete and we move in.
We visited the beach today, it was so relaxing. When the twins are older I would love to bring them to the beach. I bet they would love playing in the sand and swimming. I spent time just looking for seashells for thier rooms and building sand castles. Sandy and Li worked on thier tans and then we showered for the helicopter island tour we signed up for. It was amazing, we stopped at one cliff to take photos of the view and I found a tattered map in the brush, as well as a large ant hill-yikes!
I want for Johan and I to go out on a date soon, for some mommy and daddy time. Right now the twins are taking the bulk of our attention. I've taken some maternity leave to stay home with them, at least until they become toddlers. Then I am going to enroll them in the new daycare opening up. After then, well they'll attend school with thier father...I wish we had our own home. What happens when Johan retires?
I've decided to try some new teaching methods and have small group discussions instead of some traditional classroom methods. It seems to be working. I sat with the two newest students (there are now eight students enrolled in the school) and we discussed different logical arguements in chosing candy (it has to be relevent). The school is doing well, I am petitioning for a raise and the candidate for hood council president, Fiona Kent, donated a piano to the school. She said that she loves music and thought it was a shame that the students didn't have much of a choice when it came to musical equiptment.
I suggested that Jadhira and I invite two of our friends and go out, perhaps even Grex and Ginger. They're pregnant as well (and about to give birth as well) and they could meet us here at the house for tea and tofu burgers perhaps. I think Jadhira needs to socialize a bit more. Yes, we did just return from a trip to visit her family, but she's still been rather quiet since our return. I wonder if she is still homesick?
Bloated and Nausated. No one said pregnancy would be this way. I seem to always be napping and eating. Johan has started preparing some healthy vegan meals and freezing them for me so I don't have to cook. Thank goodness, sometimes I felt as though I would strave to death!
We are settling into the new teacher's home. I spent the simday preparing lessons and going over the roll sheet, there will be six children starting school. Many have various levels of learning and I'm sure that they will all meet thier benchmarks in no time. I must be aware of lunch time and recess of course, but to be honest...it will all depend on how the first day goes.
We got married in the Temple of Lucky Blessings. We wore traditional attire and sealed it with a kiss. Very nice indeed. We didn't see much of Kimikura, we mostly stayed at the hotel and well, things that newlyweds do ^_^
