  3. I just started to follow your blog today. Happy to hear you had a wonderful time away with family, and that the remainder of your family at home was well provided for by your inlaws. What a blessing!

  5. Hi Toll House Cookie!
    (your name makes me very hungry for choc chip cookies!!)

    Welcome!

    My in-laws actually paid for all of us, all 7 of us, and all of my hubby's brother's family--all 5 of them to go to Mexico, with them!

    No one was left at home!!

    They watched the kiddos at the resort on Sat afternoon for us.

    Christine, Yes, Tom got sick Wednesday with diahreah (sp?) and kept it til we got home and had the nastiest farts I've ever smelt. We call them Mexico farts.

    Jedi also got sick on Thursday after our morning walk on the beach--we got up at 5:30 am and then swam afterward. By 10am he had fever and chills and diahrea.

    It only lasted a day and he was better. Except for the D thing.

    No one else got sick in our family.
    I'll post more on all the details later!!
