Colorado Shakes

Funny how things just work out sometimes. Upon our first invitation to leave Kaelah & go on vacation, I began talking to a lot of moms. Generally, the rule was that parents ditch their children in this manner: # of days gone = age (in yrs.) of youngest child. Well, upon discovering this equation, Dan & I had planned on spending 2 days in CO Springs for our anniversary this year. A little while before heading to CA for our family vacation I got the feeling to cancel those plans. I assumed it was a money issue (the happiest place on earth is pricey!), & Dan agreed.

Well, turns out we would have a 6-week-old baby on our 6th anniversary. Hooray! So, for my present, we went & saw my favorite Shakespeare play in an outdoor theater with a picnic on the green beforehand. LOVED IT! (Thanks to Mom & Dad for babysitting -- they said they both had to take a nap the next day.) I pasted the following review link, if you're interested: Comedy on stage: Colorado Shakespeare Festival's. (My only disagreement with the author is that I thought Benedict was way better than Beatrice.) And for Danny's anniversary present? A couple little things from the Apple Store, of course. (:

Love you, babe! You are my favorite person in the whole wide world to hang out with. It was wonderful.

I'm going to have to make Carl start reading all these blogs people post about their anniversaries. Maybe he will get a clue. Maybe. Of course two kids doesn't make it easy. Or the fact that I'm a cheapskate.

Happy Anniversary!! Good for you for making an effort to get out together. Sometimes it is crucial to leave behind the world and re-connect with the spouse. It's nice to say, "Hey I still like you a lot!" and maybe even have a quiet pint of ice cream together.
Enjoy!

Happy 250th Birthday

By Sarah
Please enjoy the following sunrise hike photos courtesy of Michelle.  You will not find me leaving the house at 3:00am to hike with friends but I am proud of my middle children when they do. Can an Independence Day blog post be complete without some time at the ball fields?  Natalie has her final tournament of the season and it was bittersweet to see the girls play so well but knowing this was the last chance they would have together before some of the girls (N included) aged out. I will always appreciate these coaches, players, and their families for truly making something special.  Pool play day was sunny and hot. My alarm went off at 5:30am to be at 7:00am warm ups an hour away. The first game was close but didn’t end the way we would have liked. The second game the girls took a solid beating and then after leading most of the third game, it ended in a tie. Natalie did some great work in the outfield and knows how to make those pitchers work when she hits those foul ba...

Precious Pumpkin

By Sarah
Our Halloween pictures finally made it to the computer. I won't state the name, but let's just say we know a certain 15-month-old who likes to hide things, especially if they are small & silver like a memory card reader. (: Oh look, here she is now, dressed up as a pumpkin fairy! And check out the super neat pumpkin Danny carved. We actually had neighbors make the effort to come compliment him before trick-or-treating began! I have never experienced a Halloween where families hang out on the porch to hand out candy the entire night! I just can't get over how wonderful the weather has been this fall. If there weren't long term consequences, I could really like global warming. Here's the cute little girl helping to hand out candy. She was a huge hit with the teenage trick-or-treaters. My favorite costume of the night was a guy dressed up as a kissing booth. When Dan asked him if that was working for him he replied, "I got a kiss from a 6-year-old ...

Some Explaining

By Sarah
Well, the time has come. We finally got the gutts to take an intentional photograph of what is soon to be a new addition to the family. Surprised? Well, if you haven't seen me in person lately, you should be! And yes, Dan & I were quite surprised too! A couple months after we brought Danny J. home from the hospital, I noticed how much more tired I was waking up in the middle of the night with him than I was when Kaelah was a newborn. I kept asking myself, is there really that big of a difference between ages 26 & 28? I didn't think anything of my period coming late b/c both Dan & I were complaining of nausea. Eventually I went to our family practice doctor & said, "I'm either pregnant or something is wrong with me that I want you to fix!" We ran the blood work & called the fertility specialist after he told me the rapid test came back VERY pink. From then we did the same thing we had done before. Held our breath & took LOTS of medi...
