It went by too fast...

....our family vacation. It was much needed, and we had lots of fun in Mexico. Everything was way better than I expected. The airport was nice, the city was clean, and the resort was amazing! Everyone was so friendly, always greeting us with a smile. I got to practice my Spanish, and even remembered some basic French. There were lots of Europeans there. Alec enjoyed the pool and beach. He did really well, especially on the airplane. He better get used to it at an early age :)

There are so many good pictures...

We saw quite a few iguanas

This was a show about the history of Mexico, it was so entertaining with live music and dance. It was at a park called Xcaret.

Boat ride at the river inside Xcaret park

There was a Brazilian restaurant in our resort, so we went to check it out

Alec's favorite place...the pool!

and the beach...

He was ready to jump in.

Our resort was wonderful

Miss America & Mickey Mouse

October was a great month for us. No, I was not dressed up as Miss America for Halloween...but Alec sure was a cute Mickey Mouse. This was his first Halloween so I made sure to take lots of pictures. Steve's grandpa calls me Miss America now because it's been 2 weeks since I became a U.S. citizen!! I'm super excited!! It was a great ceremony, and I feel way more responsible now being a dual-citizen and all. November is going to very fun as Alec will be turning 1! I can't believe how fast this year has gone by and how much Alec has grown in just 1 year. He's such a smart "Alec". He is not walking yet, but can stand up on his own. His favorite thing to do lately is climb up (and down) the stairs...sometimes I have to stay there with him for over 30 minutes cause he has so much fun with the stairs...oh man, he's going to be a climber :)
We're all doing great and are super excited for our vacation with Alec soon...
