Our House in Rural Jamaica Becomes a Home
We're retired in rural Jamaica, and today life gets back to what is our new normal. Yesterday, even though we lost power for a majority of the day, we were joined by some new forever friends all the way from Kauai! Today we begin with getting three boys ready for school and out the door in one piece! From there, Sonia return home briefly before heading out to our favorite local Lewiscotch nursery to purchase our next round of plants for the second phase of our garden. After we get home, the allowance board is update so all three boys now have a chance to earn $1,000 JMD a week. Andre then sneaks over and we head back to the garden to plant all the new plants! Before long, all the boys return and it's all hands on deck to get the new soccer goals together and play some ball. We wrap up the evening with our new evening ritual of eating dinner together at the table. Thanks for joining our adventure and blessings to all. Richness is Life.

Aunty Sonia, typical Jamaican retort: 'What if dem drop dung ah road'. Don't give up though, we have to be vigilant, continue to teach them. We need a better Jamaica.😊

Sonia and Tyler please bear in mind that you have a small army to train when you say yes or no ,it stands, be firm . Donot make their beds when they get home take them to the room and ask what is wrong with room, if they don't know tell them and warn them not to let you find the room in that condition again , deduct allowance. You both need to visit their school to find out what is happening, Are they attending school, being on time, behaviour, classwork, homework and general participation. Football is played outside the house, the couch we sit on ,feet does not belong in the couch. When one is asked a question , a response is expected with the sound of our teeth and tongue. Andre is the king, he deserves everything that you supply him with.

Goodmorning enjoy your breakfast after the morning routine. You both are doing a fantastic job. I am here to cheer you both on. I understand all about it as a social worker and a retired manager of a children's home .it can be very challenging. Let David be the monitor of junior.

Good afternoon family, thank you for another amazing video. Tyler you are Sonia are giving those children a great foundation as the scripture says train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Love the progress of the garden. Andre is so willing to learn. Much blessings to you, Sonia and the children.❤

I really enjoy Andre and how you are teaching him life skills. Some may say he’s only 5 but he’s old enough and from my vantage point he’s know a lot and can hold a good convo so why not teach him skills that will last a lifetime Kudos to you and Sonia it warms my heart

Can't help but anticipate the next video. I know the frustration Sonia with kids not listening but good thing is you have experience with raising kids. You got Tyler at your back. Remember to let them be responsible for chores. Great job Tyler and Sonia. Say hello to Andre for me.

Hi my Fire & Irie family, first school day and many more to go. With God's help and consistency over time equal change. My Andre got a ❤️ sticker. Andre and Tyler have a real connection. He is willing to learn and very helpful. Andre you work very hard today. Team work score a new goal post. I enjoy watching the children play football especially in the slow motion. Craig and the young lady (i don't know how to spell her name) teaching Sonia to make fried fritters nice. Thanks Tyler good job.

Many thanks Miss Lee...so she is Mario's sister Quena, or technically Shaquena.🥰
One of my favourite channels indeed! I really felt for Sonia when she was having a rough morning with the kids. Tyler as always, was there to support her and give her kind words. Who would have thunk your retirement would involve raising a family! You are both doing an amazing job! ❤ I would love to see a vlog of Tyler and Sonia having a special little date, as you both deserve some special time together. Maybe the kids could even prepare a meal 🤣🎉
