Can you say Heaven?

I LOVE Condominios Pilar in San Carlos Mexico! I just love it. I love the tranquility I feel. I love being there with my family. I love the fresh sea breeze and the waves crashing outside my door. I love the burying my feet in the warm sand and getting to read a great book. I love seeing my kids get brave in the gentle crashing surf. I can't wait to go back!

Our family spent a week of March in Mexico with my parents and some siblings. Matt and I hadn't been in 7 years and most of our kids hadn't been to the beach so this was a test. Sand can be a real trial.

Oh I love this guy!

Though she looks serious ( she didn't want to get the sand in her mouth) this is a sign that Laura couldn't get enough of the place. She kept kissing the sand because she simply adored it! So did I! When do we go back?

The news?

See this big ol' van? It is ours now! A full-on 12 passenger beauty that gives us space to do cartwheels if we choose. We love it! We did have to adjust the height of the garage door so that we didn't scrape each time we came or went but after that---Love IT! With #6 coming in a short time we had to bid a fond and loving farewell to Honda LaFonda the Silver Princess. She just didn't have the capacity. She has the most adoring new family now (thanks Kon for loving her) and we are happy to welcome Blue Belle Express to the Porter family.
