Late November Family Time

My dad and I try to go every year to a Notre Dame away game, and this was the third year that we went to Los Angeles for the Notre Dame-USC game over Thanksgiving weekend.  I felt bad about leaving Isaac home with only Adam, but luckily Margie was able to come down to help out and enjoy Thanksgiving.  Since the flights are very expensive over this holiday, she decided to come for two weeks to get the best price!  And she says, Isaac forgot his pacifier at her house and she just had to return it to him!

Although he'd promised that he wouldn't do anything new while she's away, he went ahead and started standing up with support, so he showed that new skill off to her right away.

Brian came down for a few days and surprised Margie!  He also stayed over Thanksgiving, although I realized that I don't have any pictures of him over this time.

We went to Puerto Morelos beach on November 19, which is a holiday here in Mexico.  We brought down the whole kit & caboodle, including a tent, beach chairs, bags, drinks, snacks, baby accoutrements, etc.  Diony stayed with Isaac on the beach while Margie, Brian, Adam and I went snorkeling just off the coast. As usual, the fish and coral in Puerto Morelos are spectacular.

Thanks Margie for sharing your photos of the trip - some of them are below.
