We recently went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to celebrate our friends Sujeeta and Eric (Needy)’s wedding. We had planned the trip before we learned we were pregnant but the timing worked out great and we were able to celebrate the wedding and enjoy a bit of a “baby-moon” at the same time. This was our last real vacation before the babies arrive.

We had an amazing time and enjoyed catching up with old friends from the DC area and soaking in the sun. The 90 degree Mexico sun was a welcome change from our chilly and dreary fall/winter weather.

We went swimming in the ocean with wild dolphins – this has to be one of the coolest things I’ve ever done in my life. You dive under the water and the dolphins swim within a few feet of you. They’re just as curious about you as you are about them. I highly recommend a dive with un-caged dolphins if you ever have the chance. It’s well worth the money!

My siblings usually all go home for the Fulton Fall Folk Festival. This is my hometown’s “homecoming” of sorts and is really a big tractor parade. It’s always good to have everyone home and eat some of mom’s cooking!

“Roller” has been spending more and more time at our house lately and since he’s virtually a fixture on our couch lately, we figured we should find out if he belonged to anyone.  We started training him to wear a collar, on which we wrote “Am I your cat, if so, please call ….”

Unfortunately we learned that Roller does in fact belong to a neighbor who though she was just sending him outside to the bathroom (not sure how she rationalized him being gone for 8 hours at a time but so be it!).  Anyway, not much has changed, Roller (aka Scout) still stops by twice a day (6:30 am and 6:30 pm) for some dinner and some love.  The neighbor just had a baby so we think he may just be coming to our couch to get some sleep (and food of course).  He’s going to be in shock when the babies arrive and it’s no longer quiet here either.
