Mexico 2011

Finally! The sun was fun, villa beautiful, the pool so easy to play in...but the best part was the staff. It made the vacation so much more relaxing. It's going to be hard to go anywhere outside of Mexico now. Jack was super fun, and Victoria - well, just a sweet little lady. Too cute for words.

Ella 'reading' a story to grandma...

She does love some books more than others - and as a result, some end up getting memorized :) Here is one of her favorites: 'Are You My Mother' by P.D. Eastman:


Maya's Baptism

We waited a bit longer than last time, but it was very sweet to have Maya's Baptism on Easter Sunday. Bribery with cookies was critical to success. All the grandparents were here with a lot of family. The Godparents were spectacular too!

Easter 2011

Grandma and Grandpa came to visit as did the Easter Bunny.
We hunted for eggs, spent some time on a ship, visited San Francisco and ate a lot of food. We had so much fun.

the big sister...not always so helpful

Ella's 3rd birthday!

We are this late in posting. Really sad. We have been incredibly busy - but of course we always are.

Anyway, it was the first major event in our new home. Some friends came by, we had lots of food, toys, and of course a bouncy castle in the back yard. All was great, although our little Ella got a bit overwhelmed when it was time to sing 'happy birthday' by all the attention. Thank god daddy was there to save the day!
