We are back! Playa del Carmen was amazing. The beaches, the water, the town...EVERYTHING was just what we needed. According to my Mom Ian did great without us- although I suspect we will never know the real story.

The day we returned our tenant moved out of our basement. We have decided to make it into a gym, office, and guest quarters so this last week was full of cleaning, painting, and furnishing the basement. It is almost ready for all of you to come and visit! The carpet is going in next weekend and then it will all be ready!

We are so excited to be back with Ian and Pippin, and to have the extra space in our house. We took A LOT of pictures over the last couple of days. It seems like every day Ian does something new. He is now inching his way all around the house. He loves to climb into his activity play center. He loves cords and plugs- go figure! He has started pulling himself up on the stairs, but only made it to stair number one. I walked into his nursery the other night for his nightly feeding and he was standing up in his crib!!! I was stunned. I guess it is time for the baby proofing to begin.
