Mom & Dad's 5th Anniversary!

 Bienvenido!  Mommy and Daddy finally got away to celebrate their anniversary!!!!!!

We were lucky to stay at this beautiful resort in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, with the help of Aunt Cindy and Uncle Jerry, our resident travel experts in the family.

 This place was sooooo relaxing but we opted for a bit of mental stimulation every now and again with daily games of chess.  All of the parents out there: can you remember the last time you ate a leisurely breakfast and played a full game of chess.  NO.  That is why we needed a vacation :)

We started working on our retirement skills early with some games of shuffleboard as well.  The activities team at this resort were really enthusiastic, but we mainly went there to do nothing.  So they created "lazy games for lazy people" as they put it, like shuffleboard and gringo bingo (all you have to do is guess the right number and you when a bottle of tequila - awesome!).

The town of Puerto Vallarta was really beautiful as well.  Neither of us had ever been across the border, so we were pleasantly surprised with the town and the friendliness of its residents.

So much wildlife!  Sea lions, freshly hatched sea turtles, birds, dolphins....

He was just born a few hours ago!

Thanks Mamaw, Paw, Grandma, and Grandpa for spending time with Vi so that we could get away.  After 5 years of marriage, welcoming a baby before our first anniversary, several job switches and moving a few times, we felt that we really deserved this trip which made it all the more enjoyable for us.

We miss you Puerto Vallarta and hope to be back VERY soon!

 Happy Halloween from Dr. Vi!

 

We were very happy to trick-or-treat with Smokey (aka Beckett) and enjoy the crisp, Halloween weather.  In the car on the way to trick-or-treat she kept saying, "I'm so exciting!" meaning that she was very excited to start the festivities.  Vi told a few people that she wants to be a nurse (or doctor) when she grows up.  We asked her why she wants to be a nurse and she said, "because nurses are pretty."  Hopefully she'll come around to the realization that nurses help sick people and that will become the new reason :)

 

The cutest and smartest 4 year-old doctor in town.

 

This witch was handing out out books and toys for Halloween.  We thought that was Santa's job, but we'll take it!
