Gili Islands

Gili Islands

The Gili Islands are a group of three islands off of the bigger island Lombok.  Lombok is about a few hours by ferry from Bali.  The islands are all quite small.  In fact we walked around one of the islands in just under a few hours one day.  That was first for me, walk around an entire island in a day.  We stayed on Gili Trawangan, and then spent a day on Gili Meno.  We swam, played in the sand, took long walks and naps, ate delicious food and relaxed!  It was bliss, pure bliss!  It was a little difficult to come back to reality after the Gilis, especially as I look outside at the forty degree weather here in Munich.  I think the beach was a highlight for our kids.





 


The kids were hanging outside of our bungalow eating snacks.  Simon is taking this picture from the hammock.

We took one of these boats from Lombok to the Gilis.

We met this little guy on one of our walks.



Hot Sauce
Conley always found this bottles and little packages of hot sauce at every restaurant.  He thought it was so funny to say "hot sauce".  We have since called him our little "hot sauce" and he loves it.  That was his first two word combination.


Simon and I think that Auburn looks like she is conducting the sunset.






 We found this urchin for our Christmas tree.  We have a tradition that we collect Christmas ornaments on all of our trips.  We have had to be very creative with some.  It was so fragile that it unfortuantely didn't even make it to the airplane.
 
You can't really tell from this picture, but at sunset you could see the volcanos from Bali.

Oh, my goodness, Jodi, that's gorgeous! It looks like you had a great time. That's too bad the sea urchin didn't make it, but what a fun tradition! I'd love to see pictures of what you've ended up with from other places.

Everything looks so fun! And what a great place to visit since I'm sure it's already getting pretty cold back home!

It's a ......

We found out last past week that we are expecting .... a baby boy! We are super excited! I had a feeling ever since we found out that I was pregnant that would be having a boy. Auburn came to the ultrasound with us and repeatedly said "baby" while we looked at the screen. We are excited for her to have a little brother. We just need to start thinking of baby boy names ....

Auburn's blessing

On Sunday, November 23rd, Simon was able to bless our precious little Auburn. Grandpa and Grandma Hill were able to be here for the blessing. I know that Papi and Grandma Little wished they could of been here as well. We had an earlier visit from the Littles when Auby was just a few weeks old. Grandma Hill made her beautiful dress and Grandma Perkins made her blanket. This weekend we had our first snowfall. The temperature was frigid and there was still snow on the ground. It still turned out to be a wonderful day. Auburn was her perfect little self. She didn't cry at all and her Daddy gave her a beautiful blessing. We are so blessed to have her in our lives!
