Cancun Vacation

We had a great time down in Cancun with my parents, Bob, Laurie, & Ryan. Nolan went on his first plane ride - we got lucky and had an empty seat next to us each way so Nolan was able to sit in his car seat. He slept a good part of each flight and the take-offs and landings didn't seem to bother his ears one bit. So Dave and I were thrilled with how things went.
We all really enjoyed having so much time to just relax and visit with each other. The guys and Laurie spent one of the days going out to the Chichen Itza ruins while my mom and I stayed back with Nolan. They enjoyed it even if they had some scary moments where they had to drive 100 miles on less than a 1/4 tank of gas in the rental car! I guess the trip was a straight shot on a road in the middle of the jungle without a gas station in sight! Luckily they made it!

Dave, Bob, Laurie, Ryan, and I went out to dinner one night while my parents watched Nolan. That was a lot of fun. We went to Senor Frogs afterwards for a "yard" and all agreed that we felt really old there!

We got back home on Sunday and we're back to our normal routine. Nolan is doing well - he loves playing peek-a-boo and pat-a-cake. He says "mama" and "dada" to me and Dave now which is exciting. I can't believe that Nolan's first birthday is less than three weeks away! It sounds cliche, but the time really does go by so fast!

Happy New Year!
