Welcome to our family travel blog! Once again, "three in pink" are on the move ~ this time to someplace warm, sunny and tropical! Join us as we travel across the ocean, and settle into our home away from home for the next year. Laugh with us as we find our place in a foreign country. And pray for us during our time away from friends and family. We are excited (and a little nervous) to begin this adventure, but know the experience will strengthen our family and create lifelong memories. We are faithful that God will take care of us as we journey to another part of the world! We can't wait to see all that He has planned for our family as we begin the next chapter of our lives...

You can read about our first adventure living abroad HERE.

Mi Casa e Su Casa...

The last piece of furniture arrived this afternoon, the trees for our balcony were delivered yesterday and the girls and I just decorated the final room in our apartment.  Thankfully, Andy's company pays to furnish our home so we got to go on the mother of all shopping sprees!  When else will we ever get to buy furniture for an entire house in a single day?  It was really fun!  Friends and family have been asking us to post pictures of where we live, and I'm tempted to say, "you'll just have to come see for yourself!" :)  I wouldn't normally give a virtual tour of my home online, but since there have been requests - here it goes!




There are lots of beautiful walking paths around our apartment complex - it's really pretty at night because of the underwater lights.


Hannah reading a book by the pool - of course!

 
Maggie has to stand on her toes to reach the bottom of this pool.  So it's a good two feet over Mia's head, I guess?  Are you surprised that she ditched her "floaties" a few weeks ago and now keeps up with her sisters in the "big pool" all on her own?  Poor thing is completely exhausted after a day at the pool!

The girls love swimming out to this water fountain - especially at night because it lights up!


Mia lounging in the hot tub, I mean "cool tub", because you definitely don't need a hot tub in this country!


and a few from the inside...







Here is our lobby.  Seriously, we have our own little lobby.  You can see our shoe closet on one end of it, and I'm standing in our living room opposite the closet taking the picture.  Isn't that weird?  An elevator in our house.  To answer the most common question we've had about the elevator, I'm really not sure how other families are kept from getting off on our floor!  We have a special key card that we have to swipe to get on the elevator from the parking garage, so I guess that tells the elevator where to stop?  I should probably look into that...  Anyway, the girls love all of the many buttons that must be pushed throughout the day around here.  


My favorite "room" in the house...


And of course we like it better at night. :)


Here is the balcony off our spare bedroom.  Listen carefully... do you hear it calling your name?


Hope to see you soon!
