Trying to Save my Dignity

Today we caught our bus at 8:00 AM (it was a little hard to get up so much earlier, but I reminded myself that our kids wake us up much earlier than what we had to get up!).  We rode the bus for about an hour to Xel-Ha.
Xel-Ha is an ecological waterpark. Not quite like [...]

You can take the girl away from Starbucks…

Today was another great day on the beach. So far the weather has cooperated wonderfully, and the only rain we’ve had has been very brief, and at night when we are indoors.
Today we slept until almost 10:00. Nice! After that we headed to our spot on the beach and ordered up some more Bloody Mary’s. [...]

Just Another Day in Paradise

David and I slept in until 9:00 this morning. We kind of thought we could have made it later, but were awakened by a phone call from our travel rep. I was very well rested, and didn’t feel the need to sleep any more. It’s amazing how much less sleep one needs when they aren’t [...]

Houston, We Have WiFi

Hola! David and I arrived in Mexico today. Other than having to be up at 4:30 this morning, it has been a great day. My dad picked us up bright and early and dropped us off at the airport. Our flights were all very uneventful, which doesn’t happen very often for us. Once we got [...]

Signing Off

Both kids are gone for the night. Madeline is with my parents, and Anthony is with David’s parents. Our bags are packed and we’re ready to go to Mexico! Our flight leaves tomorrow morning at 6:30, so my dad is picking us up at 5:15 to get us to the airport. Fun times!
As I was [...]

Accessorized Children

I love buying clothes for my kids. I’ve often pondered what it is about dressing them up that I enjoy so much, and I’ve decided it’s probably because they are easy to dress. Not easy in the physical sense of the word, because Anthony prefers to roll around and squirm when you are trying to [...]

Just Try Not to Smile

Last night David’s parents watched the kids for us. Anthony thought Papa was particularly funny.
See for yourself.

What is it with baby laughs? They are irresistable! I could listen to grown ups laughing about something and be totally unamused,and even at times, irritated by their laughter, but show me a laughing baby [...]

More Pictures of Pictures

Remember how I mentioned a while ago that there were more pictures we would be adding to our house soon? Well, we got them yesterday and David and I hung them today.
I’m pretty pleased with how the wall collage turned out

I had to take it at an angle because of glare. Imagine that!
Here are some [...]

A Warm Dip

I’m not feeling the mental capacity right now to tackle a long blog post, so I figured I’d share a few pictures and call it a day.
We were at David’s parents’ house the other day. Madeline said she wanted to go swimming in the pool, so David went to the trouble to uncover the pool [...]

A Failed Photo Shoot

Madeline needed a picture of herself for preschool. They use the picture to make a little place card for snack time. When it’s time for snack time they go into the room where snack is served and find their card with their picture and that’s how they know where to sit. I didn’t really have [...]
