Too much time?

I've had several people ask me what I do all day here. The answer is, well, not a whole ton. The sun comes up around 5 am and unfortunately, my baby sometimes wakes up shortly after. After we both eat breakfast I usually go out on a walk/run with Chase in the jogger. We either hike up Banana Trail, which is a steep walk up near the mountainous jungle here, or we go down by the ocean. The rest of the morning Chase usually naps, sometimes I nap too depending on what type of night he had, do dishes, read my scriptures, shower and get ready for the day, straighten up the house, look at blogs, etc. until Chase wakes up. We spend the rest of the day reading stories, playing with Chase's toys, skyping with friends and family back in the states, Chase naps again in the afternoon, we go to the grocery store most days, sometimes we visit with friends here on the island, I make dinner, etc. Ben usually comes home for dinner, but if he can't then we take it to him on campus. Chase goes down between 7-8 and then I usually have a couple hours to myself before Ben is done studying for the night. It's a pretty simple life, but I'm enjoying it.

This video might be proof that I have a little too much time on my hands, but Ben and I are just so proud of our little boy!
