"It's the SIMPLE things in life that count."

Marriage, family, friends...relationships.
Peace, Hope, Faith...LOVE.

But there is a lot of laundry, dishes, tears & laughter, messes, homework,
hair to fix, teaching, learning, stress and fun along the way!

FUN with the DARBY FAM!

Graham and Alton joined Devri and Maude with us in Singapore!  They were able to stay for 10 days and we fit a lot in and had so much fun!!


The girls had so much fun with Alton, he's like the brother they never had.
we were all entertained watching Graham try all the local food.
He would eat anything, his stomach must be cast iron
looking good!

They hit a lot of the hot spots with Spen while I was home in bed recovering 






our girls LOVE bargaining and shopping in Chinatown

and they are lucky when we get visitors b/c we don't go down there much otherwise



Arab street is the place to buy beautiful carpets



they have this awful Swap Meet of complete JUNK!  Spen and Graham just had to stop

Little India for Hand Henna

We hit a lot of Sevs for cold DC's.  It's actually CL here!

Chili's is always a must when craving something familiar

I couldn't drive so here we are hailing a cab after our visit to Ava's school



This is the Beautiful Botanical Gardens in Singapore
The kids love feeding the turtles, fish, ducks and pigeons.

Spen and Graham snuck off for a day of touring, they took the MRT downtown

These 2 boys get along so well, and I say "boys" because that's how they act when they are together.  They have so much fun!

Amazing Race...Ice cream in bread.  Graham loved it, and even Durian flavor,  yuk!

You buy this for $1.50 sgd on the street from little old men selling from their motorcycle/ice cream truck
our little fish, swimming is a must in this Singapore climate

We piled all 11 of us in the car.  Thank heavens they don't enforce seatbelt laws here, we were packed in.
Look at little Stelly all the way in the very back!

We went to Sentosa Island and it was full of Indian migrant workers b/c they had a day off.
Spen and Graham got the biggest kick out of watching this bunch to a photo shoot of themselves.

The kids loved playing in the Ocean



Spen thought he was really clever getting a shot of me by the above sign

This is where Lisel broke her foot, luckily she only has about 1 more week in her boot

Ava and Alton had fun there though, they had fun anywhere we went, as long as they were together.
These 2 are a crack up.


To be continued....I am too tired
