Vacation was great!

We went through some rough times in our family since the last posting, but we all got our batteries recharged with some vacation time. First, thanksgiving in NJ where Leo had a blast with his cousins. Jesse and Leo played as if they've always been friends. We then had a wonderful 10d vacation in Jamaica at the FDR resort where we had a nanny, Lorraine, who made the trip relaxing for us. All had a great time. Melissa read more books than I think I've read over the past 10 years combined, and I bonded with Leo goign down 'big blue' (water slide) or just playing in the pool or on the beach. Ari started walking at 10 months and he is just a very active kid. He is also very sweet but with a temper. Leo broke his leg in november but got his cast off the day before we went to Jamaica and it was as if he never had it on.
