November 2009 Re-cap—Mexico

November was a bit of a blur. Daylight savings time always messes with us a bit, as well as increasing four-year-old drama. You know, when every phrase or happenstance is book-ended with words like forever, never, or in the whole wide world? Plus, coaching Avery on relational stuff with her friends and classmates…..UGH. I really dread the teenage stuff.

In November we also hit the circus, and Romey started showing in interest in the potty (a parenting milestone that nearly broke me with Avery—see summer posts from 2008).


MEXICO. Can you believe it? Dan and I went to Mexico, and it was AWESOME! We toasted our ten-year anniversary with a seven-day trip to San Jose del Cabo Mexico. I can’t really explain all that had to happen to make this trip a reality. I’m so glad we were able to go because it was fantastically relaxing, and fun, and relaxing, and warm, and restful, and relaxing. Little typed words don’t adequately express our gratitude toward those that made this trip possible. I know some of you are reading this so please know how grateful we are (that includes you DM, CM, LM, MB, TM, SM, RN, KN, DZ, DS, and many more).

We were extremely grateful (albeit tired from a major Romey sleep strike) on Thanksgiving, and checked that holiday off the list, and stumbled into December.
