Mom, Me, and My LITTLE Brother, Josh

As always, we had a wonderful vacation in Mexico. The people are so sweet and so accommodating. They are always smiling, never get upset, and so laid back. The whole atmosphere in Mexico is completely different than the hustle and bustle of the United States. I'm always ready to come back to my routine, but it is a nice break from reality to spend a week or two down there. The Royal Resort is phenomenal; it is unlike anything you've ever seen. It is complete luxury with every amenity possible. Jay and I enjoyed hanging out with my mom, my brother, Mike, and Tabitha. We went swimming, fell asleep on the oceanfront, canopied shade beds, ate at fine restaurants, shopped on Fifth Avenue, toured Conzumel, endured a horrendous ferryboat ride, and much, much more. The above picture is our resort, and the below picture was taken from our balcony of the ocean.

Well, time has flown by this year, and Talon has almost completed his first year of school. I've included his class picture above and hope you enjoy it. There have been a few bumps along the way, but he has always continued to make the ES honor roll. Kindergarten is an exciting year that leads to many more years of school. Coming up next week, Talon has a leading role of John Smith in his class play. Jay and I will be in Mexico on vacation, but we'll be cheering him on from across the border.
