there's no place like home

as sad as it was to leave the beach, it really does feel good to be back home.

this past week, jesse and i were blessed by the generosity of friends and family (and candace's great planning skills) and were able to enjoy a 6 day child-free trip to cozumel, mexico. back in september, candace and i were trying to think of what to do for our husband's joint 30th birthdays. one thing led to another, and before we knew it we were on a plane headed to mexico, without our (combined) 4 children, to enjoy some precious r&r and fun with our husbands.

the weather was perfect. our travels were all smooth and timely. the beach was beautiful. and some wonderful memories were made. it's hard to pick a few pictures to sum up the week. so if you want to see the entire album, i have them posted on facebook, but here are some of my favorites



jesse and i are most grateful for my mom, who willingly agreed to watch and care for our family while we were away. taking care of 2 toddlers, the house, and our dog is a lot of work, and it meant a lot to us for her to bless us in this way. thank you mom (grandma)!

now back to life, back to reality.

Looks really fun!

I love that one shoulder top you have on in that pic with Jesse. Where did you get that?

And speaking of tops... did Lee and Jesse trade the same white shirt for the last two pictures? i mean, I know they're close and all, but I didn't know that guys did that too!

ha ha ha-kara- nope, 2 different shirts. look closely and you will notice extra material on jesse's shoulders. :P
the "top" is actually a dress. and i have had it for almost 7 years and this is the 3rd time i have worn it. it got it from Express, i think.
