"She Should Tip YOU"

That's what Guy said when we were discussing how much to tip the maid at the house in Mexico.

Besides my daily morning latte, another thing I NEED to do before I can really start my day is make the beds. Yes, even on vacation. I'm also a master arranger. I love to tidy. Too bad I don't love to clean as much, though I certainly have my moments of inspiration. ha ha ha

Mexico pictures are up at flickr (that's a direct link to the set). Check 'em out. If you're not a flickr member, let me know if you'd like a direct link to see the private ones. You guys know the drill.

OK, off to bed I go! I was up late preparing for Elle's big day tomorrow. She will be FIVE. She's so very excited. It's all she could talk about before, during and after our vacation. All day today I kept pointing out how this was her last day as a four-year old. I can hardly believe it, friends. I can't help but reflect on her how-you-came-to-be story. You Moms know how it is. That and her triumphant, earth shattering (to us) birth. Sigh. My sweet, uber-planned, desperately wanted* baby sure is growing up! 

 :::sniff, sniff:::

*That's not to say our other two weren't uber-planned and/or desperately wanted, it's just that they came to us so much easier than Elle did. She will always be our long-awaited miracle girl.

Happy Birthday to Elle! Mine will be 5 in 15 days, scary stuff. I hope it's a grand affair with fun had by all and that she enjoyed her last day as a four-year-old!

Happy Birthday to Elle! Can you believe our girls are 5! I am still in a bit of shock. I hope she has a fantastic day. And the Mexico pictures are great! You all look fabulous!

I love the pictures! And Elle looks beautiful in her authentic dress - the color of the hibiscus matches her dress perfectly.

It looks like a fantastic time. I'm sorry you were stressed at all. Give me a call!
