Simple Addition for a Wednesday

In an effort to fully document our life here before leaving, and without anything specific in mind to post about in the near future, I decided to take my camera with me today and just see what happened.  And it just so happens that our day (and many of our days) can be summed up (pun totally intended) in a few simple equations:
Shane + Jessie in the nearby vicinity= unsolicited cuddles and hugs
(not that I think she minds too terribly :) ) 

paths like this + pushing a stroller = me learning how to be a billy goat
a little extra time to kill before lunch + an array of various colored locks = no problem
$550 a month + a little extra walking to campus = getting to come home to this view every day 
(we live on the first floor of that white house on the right)
"yucky puddles" + Josh sharing a little too much microbiology info with me = scrubbing feet when we get home
(don't you love the Croc tan line?)
a few too many pieces of Halloween candy from my mom's package + Shane napping = me deciding it would probably be a good idea to try out that workout dvd my friend lent me

stairs + spontaneous dance party with friends also filling up water at the annex = one very happy little boy

I loved this post! See you don't have to post an adventure, when everyday life is still fun to see shots of. I especially love the shots of things Shane likes to do and the photo of your house with the ocean to the left. AH-mazing!

Love the equations! That is such an amazing view. I like the idea of just documenting your day.

I love posts like this--just sharing the day! Hope you guys are enjoying your last little while on the island before it's back to "real life" (which is actually pretty AMAZING) :)
