Soccer Starts

Liam started his third soccer season this past Wednesday night.  Emily is taking a break this year.  He was pretty happy to be playing again, especially since his best buddy is on his team.

Viva Ixtapa!

We are back from our Mexican vacation.  What a fantastic trip!  Hot humid weather, well-behaved kids, inexpensive food and drinks, great accommodations and friendly people made the trip. Some highlights include swimming with the dolphins, a boat ride with our new friends from Mexico City, a day at the beach, some tasty meals, yummy margaritas and seeing a crocodile in the marina we faced.  It's a place we would seriously consider buying a condo.

Enjoy the pictures!
