Jennifer Rose Cayman Islands Vacation - December 2007




























































































We are in the Cayman Islands with Grandma Theda and Grandpa Oscar. We are having a wonderful time. Getting here was tiring - we basically slept one hour before we got picked up at 5 a.m. on Saturday morning to go to the airport. We also had a lot of stuff! We had one entire suitcase filled with baby stuff -- diapers, wipes, formula, ziplock bags, clothes, etc. As a result, we had to pay an overweight baggage charge of $50 for both of our suitcases! We had a very smooth flight -- our first one with Jennifer Rose since we got back from China -- and Jennifer seemed to enjoy it.
The resort is beautiful and the setup is really good for Jennifer. She has gotten to know everyone here and we can't go anywhere without people saying, "Hi Jennifer!" A few funny things: one is that the lobby of the hotel has a Santa doll that dances the twist to the tune of Jingle Bells. Jennifer loves it and makes us go down and turn it on every evening. The second one (also kind of nasty) is that yesterday we were talking to another family and Jennifer was playing on the ground and the woman we were talking to noticed that Jennifer had something in her mouth (Jennifer's fingers have been in her mouth constantly because she has four new teeth coming in). It turned out that she had a used bandaid in her mouth that she had found on the ground! Can you say "nasty!?" We were all horrified. We also caught her right before she was about to put a used cigarette butt in her mouth! Nasty! This putting things in her mouth stage is new so we're going to have to watch her closely.

Here are some wonderful photos that we have taken over the last few days. Enjoy!

Love, J and R

Thanks for the tip to view new great photos. Everyone look ship-shape and relaxed. How you going to go back to nasty winter weather? Yes the everything in the mouth stage is no fun, but that's only one of the no fun stages, which go on for years and years. Prepare for more to come, along with the pleasurable ones. Love to all.

Wow, what great photos of all of you. Didn't realize that you were home already. Looks like everyone had a ball playing with Jennifer Rose. She is such a charmer. Is she walking yet? Now the fun begins! The happiest and healthiest of New Years to all of you. Speak to you soon.
Love you all,
Marion, Allen and Ilissa
