We left for Mexico Dec. 17th, flying through Chicago, spending the night there then on through Detroit to Monterrey on Dec. 18th. We arrived in Monterrey, MX around noon, rented our vehicle and careened/hurtled for an hour to Saltillo, where Marc and Melodie (my brother and sister-in-law) and Beth and Steve (my sister and brother-in-law) live.
Andrew and I in the Detroit airport.
This is in front of Marc and Melodie's house, with the beautiful mountains in the background. They live in a beautiful, gated community which is very safe for the kids to play in.
This is my sister, Beth's house, in the same community. We were all descending on their house for lunch that day.
Now time for a game of "cowboys and indians", Mexican style...... "americans against mexicans". The boys had a blast playing with the neighborhood mexican boys. It was really fun to watch them make friends, even though they didn't know the language. Thankfully, Jordan and Cameron and Logan were able to help in that arena.

oh yeah - been waiting for your pics and updates! Great family memories!
How nice to get your first installment of the trip. I know I will relive the happy times with you, so keep 'em coming. Thanks to you and Andrew for making this huge effort (and expense) to be there!!! Love you much, Mom
So glad that you are back to blogging! :)
How neat that your family was all able to get together in Mexico over Christmas...bet you had loads of fun! Looking forward to seeing all of your pictures! :)
Dearest Vonnie, SOOOOO Glad that your whole family got to experience another culture. They will NEVER forget it and be so much better off for having that experience. Our kids LOVE the memories that the Lord gave us from our time overseas in Europe and what a JOY to sacrifice for Jesus! We love you all MUCH, Laura
Yes, I'm also VERY glad to see that deer looking normal... poor thing probably will have "trouble" getting over all that he's been through, while you all were having a blast in Mexico! :)
