Playing Catch-up


Ok, so it's been awhile and here is the long overdue update. But I have lots of good excuses. I really do. First it was this . . .
A really bad cold that hit the whole family . . . Brian and I the worst. And then I suffered the indignity of trying to get some "real" cold medicine. It's really quite ridiculous what one has to go through to obtain good cold medicine these days . . . so I'm hoarding it. But I did manage to get some and it did a world of good.
Then there was this . . . .

A long overdue update of the barn. A finishing really. We had to completely finish one side (drywall, paint, floors, trim) and then do the other half. Here is the halfway picture. It is now finished, except for finishing touches and putting everything back in place.
But, I did manage to finish up a few other things, like the blueberries . . .
They all seem to be doing well . . .all of them have little buds on them, so I think they survived the transplant. Now we just have to wait about six months to see if they bear fruit.
And finally, the very best excuse of all, is that we took a family trip to Mexico. We had a great time and loved our hotel. We took a few excursions and enjoyed an all around terrific vacation.
The view from our room at Moon Palace.
Brian and I waiting for a bus to somewhere (we waited for a lot of buses).
The family at Tulum, overlooking the sea.
Brady finally got relatively close to one of the iguanas.
Brian and Brady on the top of Beach Palace--a hotel in the hotel row of Cancun.
The boys spent hours and hours and hours playing minigolf which was just outside our hotel room.
Brennan at the activities center. We played a lot of tennis, rode some bikes, played some ping pong, and Brady hit the X-box on the days he needed to avoid the sun.
A close up of one of the iguanas . . .they were everywhere . . .and they were huge!!
We spent two days at Wet n' Wild and the wave pool was one of the boys' favorites.
Brady's favorite was the bumper boats.
And, in the midst of all of this, we passed the one year mark of Cooper living with us.
Phew. And there you have it!
