“Mom, can we play outside?” I can’t help but sigh inwardly at the question. Denver received the first snow of the season last night so playing outside now means bundling up with socks, boots, snow pants, coats, hats, gloves. It sounds like a hassle, an extra chore. And as much as they try to do […]

Neighborhood S’mores
Our neighborhood had a s’mores night. It was a nice time to meet some of our neighbors, as well as greet those we met at this summer’s food truck event. I am thankful that the forecasted wind waited until the end of the evening! And it is supposed to start snowing in the next couple […]
Haircuts
These girls got their hair cut today. I was really hesitant, because I loved their long hair so much. But Greg talked me into it and I’m glad he did because I love their new cuts (and there will be less tangles to deal with now!) Before: After:
Cate Joins Bree at Horseback Riding

Caramel Apples
One of our favorite fall snacks: Honeycrisp apples with melted caramel. Yum!
Halloween 2018
Happy Halloween from a llama/rabbit, elephant, and a zany zebra. And a tall unicorn. I love that they made their own costumes this year.
Pumpkin Patch
Today was the perfect fall day to visit a local farm/pumpkin patch (7th Generation Farm in Louisville) with some of our Afghan friends.
Mary Poppins
Mary Poppins! The little girls were singing “Chim-Chimminee†all the way home. Thanks to Dad and Debbie for a fun afternoon at the Candlelight Dinner Theater.
Rockies Game
Picnic and a Rockies Game (compliments of Greg’s employer). This was the first Rockies game for Bree and Cate. Adrianna had attended one when she was much younger. It was a lot of fun explaining baseball to Adrianna and Bree as the game went on. Of course, our Breezy girl had to plug her ears […]
Snow Mountain Ranch
We stayed two nights at the Snow Mountain Ranch – YMCA of the Rockies. Greg and the girls making hiking sticks for our afternoon hike. What you don’t see: for much of the mile hike to the waterfall (near Granby), one of the children was whining and complaining, often stopping to throw her stick to […]
