Adventure Man

Nash has been cracking us up lately. He is so cute! For his birthday he got a little explorere kit which had a backpack, water bottle, lantern, whistle, etc... Once we opened it he would not put it down. He wants to either "go exploring" or "go on an adventure". The other night he wanted to go exploring in the dark. So we packed his dinner, and sent him to his room to explore. So he went into his room, set out his meal, and ate by lantern light. We are so proud!

Cruise 2008

Lance and I just got back from our vacation to Mexico. We went on a 5 night cruise from Galveston with our friends Danielle and Cass. Five glorious days of no responsibility, no kids, no making meals, and no one calling out "mommy, mommy". Disclaimer - I love my kids and did miss them dearly, but I think that Lance and I are going to be better parents because we took the time out for ourselves. I will have to only hit the highlights of our cruise or this post would be too long to read. Needless to say we had a blast! We had so much fun with Danielle and Cass and laughed until it hurt everyday. What a rejuvinating week.

Formal night on the Ecstasy. Ok girls - check out the earrings. Aren't you impressed that I wore them.

Here we are ATVing in Cozumel. I know, I know I got over some fear and went out on an ATV. We went through the jungle on a very rocky path and had a great time.

Lance and I on the beach. I was thinking at this point that it was crazy that Thanksgiving was like three weeks away.
I will write more about the cruise in the coming days but I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped keeping our boys. We could not have gone without the help of Marilyn, Autumn & dean, and Gary and Linda. Thank you, thank you.
