    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks for being back here with us!!! Yes the kids are growing up so fast... I want to stop the clock! With more help and new goals for the year I hope we can share some great videos :)

    So good to see you back. Glad that all is well. Yes, a video on the new house please, including any remaining footage of the build. Those banner fish were pretty cool! You must be one of those fish whisperers. See you guys in about 3 weeks! 😊

  • @nmsspacedude9799
    @nmsspacedude9799 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Phenomenal! So great that you're back - that you're ALL back! Wow - what a rollercoaster of emotions you've had over the last year.
    I do hope you'll be able to continue VLOGs fairly regularly. Just think how great it'll be for your kids to watch this all back when they're your ages - and show their kids!
    Just out of interest...any particular reason he's called Darwin (as in the State capital)? Any particular connection with your histories, families or whatever?
    Also it'd be interesting to see and hear how Molly acclimatises to Uepi Life over the weeks/months ahead. (Maybe she could have a '5-minute from Molly' time-slot about that, every now and then?) What a great job to have - on an island 'paradise!'
    Keep on rolling!
    (Oh - and Yes please re the House Tour!)

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Honestly a huge reason we are back is because we have missed making movies of our family. Living this incredible life and saving memories in these videos is everything to me! I love it. Our inspiration for the name Darwin is from the great Charles Darwin. We felt Charles was not the right fit but we love the name Darwin and being who we are, we are both so inspired by the works of Darwin as a naturalist and theory of evolution 🦈🏝️🪸🐠
      I’m sure mollie will appear in most videos and I’d love to give more insight into her experience and the kids education. We are loving having her here so far!! House tour - I think it’s a must based on the comments 😃
      Thanks so much for being here 😎☀️🪸👋🏼

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes I actually found myself looking back on our last videos (over a year ago we filmed them) and noticed how much the kids have grown and changed! It was a motivating factor for me to get back to vlogging as I dearly love preserving these memories of the children! Darwin is such a gorgeous addition isn't he!

    Great to see you back guys. It has been a while since I have found something that really resonates at a deeper level with me. Living in Dubai for the past 10 years has culminated in a part of me lost. Natural, family life, overcoming the challenges of life together. Working together as a unit. Your channel has helped with the activation energy needed to look to the future and start a new back in a natural setting. Keep sharing guys. It’s much appreciated and sparks joy to watch.

    • @TheIslandLifeofUs
      @TheIslandLifeofUs  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes! Thank you… Covid was nasty and we are all fully vaccinated. I think after giving birth and then Darwin being so ill, I was a tad compromised and thus got so sick with it. It sure is a part of life these days. How exciting you’re booked to come! Wonderful to have it planned to look forward to 😊🌴🦎
