We could get used to this.....

Seriously? I have to cook and clean again? We just got back from an amazing week of grown ups relaxing and kids non-stop playing. No cooking, no cleaning, no working - just fun. All in all a great way to celebrate my mom's 65th birthday and retirement from 40+ years of nursing. Work was getting in the way of all her travel so she had no choice but to retire. She will continue to work shifts when she isn't gone doing something exciting so it isn't a true retirement but worthy of celebrating nonetheless. We were able to surprise her with a week all together in Ixtapa Mexico. The whole family was there (14 of us) and it was great to have a place where we could spend as much (or as little:) ) time together as we wanted. Now we just have to get over the depression of being back to reality....

Love your blogspot, Odone family! Your family is beautiful and so busy. I feel like we are total duds! I think the cold up here in Wisconsin numbs you and then you spend the few warm months just thawing out. What were we thinkin?! So glad to get your card and your blog info. Loved catching up on the highlights. You all look and sound well & happy. Big hugs, the Buckleys :o)
