Where in the world are the St. Martin's?

We have decided that having three children is just not enough to keep us busy these days! In order to change this, we have decided that we are packing up the house and the kids and moving to Tianjin, China!! Join us as we journey through the expat life and discover more about this world and ourselves!

Mommy and Daddy Time

Since we were at Club Med, it meant that Danny and I got to spend some much needed time together during the day!! We played tennis, golfed, shopped, did water aerobics (I never thought I would get Danny to do this!!), laid by the pool, had lazy lunches, and went snorkeling. I love to snorkel and it had been so long since we had the opportunity to do this together! We took a boat around the island (pictures are below of the scenery) and then we jumped off the boat! We saw tons of fish, along with a few lovely jellyfish - they are not my friend!! We were very close to the coast, so there was quite a bit of coral within arms reach! It was a wonderful way to spend the morning!!
We had to take this "mini" boat to the "big" boat - I thought we might tip at any moment!!
The view of "our" beach from the sea!This is the spot where we snorkeled. The water was a beautiful turquoise blue and crystal clear!

Just an interesting rock formation!!

I am so grateful for all of the time I got to spend with the love of my life!!!!!

Favorite Quotes from the kids!

  • Ethan explained to me what private parts are called in Chinese, "Mommy, in Chinese, the girl part is the target and the boy part is the laser gun." Umm, first off, that is not Chinese and second you are only 4 - where did you learn that??!!
  • Cooper said to me last night after his tub, "Tell daddy I didn't crap in the tub!!" Thanks Danny for the vocab lessons!
  • Ellie's best friend Minori came over after school. She hadn't seen Ellie for a week because El was sick, and I heard her say, "I missed you"! So sweet!!
  • Last night I told Ethan that mommy was going to cook dinner because Ayi had the night off. He said, "Oh good, does that mean if I don't like it I can spit it out?"!!!
  • Ethan once again discussing his teacher...Mommy asked, "Eens, does Miss Jolie Ann have a boyfriend?" Eens, "Yes, mommy." Surprised he knew this information, mommy asked, "Do you know who her boyfriend is?" Eens replies, "Duh mommy, it's me!!!"
  • Ethan talking to Aunt Steph at the wedding, "Where did you get your dress?" from a 4 year olds mouth - too funny!!
  • Ethan talking about one of his teachers said, "She's the most beautifulest."
  • After Ethan fell on the sidewalk, Cooper came over concerned and asked, "What happened honey?" he looked at Eensie's knee and said, "Be careful honey, okay!"
  • Eensie is looking lovingly at his stuffed horse and says, "I'm going to stuff you in the toilet!"
  • Ellie sticks her tongue out at me and when she knows I saw it and am about to send her to time-out, she says, "I was just stretching my tongue!"
  • Grandma and Grandpa were getting ready for their annual trip to Cooperstown, NY and a very upet Eensie asked, "Why aren't you going to Ethantown?"
  • During an argument, Ellie yelled at Eens, "Well, you're not made in China and everything else is!"
