Mexico!!!!

Chris and I spent an amazing week in Riviera Maya, Mexico celebrating our anniversary. We left Bennett at Papa and Gramma Bennett's and spent eight days in paradise. No laundry, dishes or work, just sun, sleep, fun, food, maid service, love, did I say sun, pool side drinks, and lots of rest. It was so great. Chris and I both agree that is was a perfect trip. We can't wait to do it again.


Love those blue eyes!


Breakfast on our patio.


Our shadows on the beach.


Dressed up for dinner.


The ocean was so beautiful, so many shades of teal and blue.


One of our favorites....


Just outside our room, near the meandering pool.

Snow!

Okay, I'm just going to say it...I am tired of the snow and we have definitely had our fair share of the white stuff this winter. I stop and think about it though, and remember how much I loved it as a kid, and I put myself back into "kid's shoes" and realize that I should see it as a kid sees it...as FUN!! Bennett LOVES playing out in the snow. It can be bitter cold out, and believe me, it has been, and he still will want to tromp around out there in the snow with little care for the wind whipping around or the near zero temps. So, I take a lesson from my wee one, enjoy what is here now as things change too quickly, and as the snow melts it also means time has passed and my little boy will be big and the days of playing in the snow with him will be over. So, I enjoy the snow......

Trying to stay warm.


Bennett was so bundled up and the snow was so deep that he could barely walk without falling. You can't see it, but he is pulling his bear around in his little sled.

Funny Bennett Videos

A couple of funny videos of Bennett from early December '08 when we were in Calgary to visit gmpaT and Granma. Bennett was almost 2.

Thanks so much, Tim, for teaching my son to be destructive. :)
