Sorry for the brief absence of our adventures this year to date. Winter has definitely brought some travels and adventures.
January saw the celebration of Mama's birthday with a fun trip out of cold Indiana to warm, sunny Mexico. (Really, it was Daddy's obsession with Phish that brought on the trip.)

We took a couple of day trips. One to Xel-Ha which was a natural water park. Since we did not have water proof cameras, there is no photograph proof of our snorkeling, zip lining, or rafting on a natural river. It was so much fun though! We swam with sting rays! Another day, we went to the Mayan ruins of Tulum. We had our best meal from a real Mexican street taco stand. And enjoyed the historic site.

| Coatis! |
 |
| Much fun and magic was had by all on this trip. A trip of a lifetime! |
Meanwhile back home in Indiana, our little monkeys had a great time with Grandma and Grandpa. Only one child ended up in the ED that weekend with a dislocated elbow, care of his brother.

A our first warm day that hinted of Spring brought on a bike ride for some Fro-Yo.

| As is going to the bakery around the corner from our house. |
Mama and her fellow Mamas got an afternoon to listen to and meet a most fierce mama from the Interwebs - Glennon Doyle Melton from
Momestary. We warrior women belong together.
The boys are really into music right now - mainly Michael Jackson and Sigur Ros. Well raised little boys I think.
Lastly, what is not a weekend without LEGOs when you have brick obsessed boys. Elias especially has been super obsessed with making his own master-builder creations these days. a trip to back world has only fueled this fire.

| "I creeper you." |
Spring is just starting to awaken here and I am sure it will bring us many new surprises as well as adventures. Stay tuned!
