Hola!

Hola everyone! As you can see, Tessa and I just got back from a great vacation with the Pickrell family in Mexico! Tessa loves the beach and pool and is already asking me if we can go back. Next time, we're bringing Daddy though, we both missed him tons! We're hoping to make it back there soon, because I've taken up a new hobby, kite boarding. I took a lesson and love it. It is a very dangerous sport, though. The kite got away from me when getting out of the water; they're truly like powerful engines. I was thrown in the air, landed on my head and drug across the sand on my back towards the jungle. I got a wicked sandburn on my back and am still quite sore. Despite my fear, I got back on the kite and am ready for more. We had such a lovely time with everyone in the warm weather!
I don't think I've updated this in a while, so let's go back to Christmas...Tessa was a little angel. She has been so pleasant lately--just a happy baby that is eating better, sleeping better and is just content most of the time (as long as you're giving her the bulk of your attention:) We spent Christmas Eve at Aunt Kimmy and Uncle Bob's house. All of the cousins from the C-Springs area were there and we had a blast playing Cranium and Catch Phrase until 1:00am. Grandma Karen and Grandpa Michael came down to stay with us, so we spent Christmas morning opening gifts and Santa stocking stuffers before church. Ha! Just kidding! Anyways, we then went out to the ranch for the day--Auntie Lee Lee was in town and Tessa's new cousin, Alex, even came out! We had a nice light dinner and good company, of course. We also spent new year's eve at the ranch this year--had a smoked prime rib and king crab dinner and were in bed before midnight. Yes, we are old.
