Genghis Khan

Somehow my parents successfully avoided the camera, but they are the ones who made this day possible! On January 30th, as a birthday present to Dan & Shannon, we all went to the Denver Museum of Nature & Science to enjoy the latest traveling exhibit before it's last day here on Feb. 7th. Contrary to the picture below, Kaelah had a wonderful time! Something about a family photo makes her pout....
Oh, & enjoy Danny wearing those shoes b/c we lost one while at the Discovery Zone. Good thing they were a garage sale bargain.
We took turns going to Gengkis Khan b/c it was certainly something not intended for 2-year-olds. We adults all really liked it, though! While Grandma & Grandpa went, Shannon & our young family went to the revamped health exhibit, where Kaelah loved the slide best! Meanwhile, Danny enjoyed the fancy straw things that made imprints of hands, etc.
Danny used to do a great job hiding his little sister when I held him, but now we seem to be too far along for that to work anymore. (;As we all went to the Gems & Minerals exhibit together, Kaelah discovered the rented stroller was just right to make her feel like a big girl helper. Amazing what $1 can do for a day.
We had a wonderful time, Grandma & Grandpa! Thank you!
P.S. We all went to Cinzetti's afterward... the best Italian buffet you could imagine.
Yup, we are spoiled.

Can I just tell you how happy I am every time I see that belly of yours? It brings a smile to my face, and tears to my eyes.I'm so happy that you will be able to share in the mom talk of pregnancy and labor. When I'm around my friends that haven't given birth (because of struggles of one kind and another) I am always so mindful of that. Now I won't have to worry about it with you. Don't know when we will meet up again, but we might drive through CO summer 2011. Good luck on the rest of your pregnancy, cute belly lady!

Homecoming 2025

By Sarah
The tail end of summer has been so much fun.  The weather has been fantastic and we've all had special occasions to look forward to.  First up, a family party for Natalie's softball team that included pizza, whiffle ball, and seeing the girls just have a good time together as a team. Here's my favorite photo from when Michelle helped her friend, A, celebrate her 16th birthday.  Although she has been friends with A & Z since her time at the Waldorf school, Michelle ended up hanging out with a lot of strangers and had a wonderful time.  I love seeing her branch out and make new connections while maintaining her core friend group. Homecoming week included a BBQ, Powder Puff game and drone show, parade past the middle school where I was volunteering at the Rattler Run, plus a very exciting football game that even Hubby attended by being one of the basketball parents to man the concession stand. Danny did a great job tossing candy instead of throwing it and the basket...

45

By Sarah
I feel spoiled. My parents and our whole family around a dinner table was perfection. Hubby provided roses & a grilled steak, roasted potatoes, and fresh salad dinner complete with chocolate cake (decorated by Michelle).  My mom and dad bought me sweet and thoughtful gifts (including a mug Natalie had painted when my mom took her to Crackpots this summer) and even stayed to watch K Pop Demon Hunters in the basement. We thought it would be hilarious to watch them watch something so different from their favorite shows. They did not disappoint. It was a joyful evening that made me feel much better about turning 45 than I felt earlier in the day.  Below you’ll find what I had written before we celebrated.  Photo credit goes to Kate! 10 Years Ago I filled out interview questions for my 35th birthday and 5 years ago I did the same, adding 5 more questions.  I really don't think I should add 5 more every year because this is probably already too much information for an...

Adventures Begin

By Sarah
Michelle had been saving her money for years. She didn’t know exactly what for, but it turns out she used that money to travel with a group from her high school to Asia!  When people asked me at the end of the school year what I was excited for this summer, the first thing I would think of is Michelle’s trip to Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam!  We loved getting texts and photos almost everyday and were able to FaceTime her a couple times.  She had quite the range of experiences from museums and treasures such as Angkor War to cooking classes and time on the water to learning how to fold flowers for offerings at famous Buddhas, and even hanging out with rats that sniff out landmines to be properly disposed of.  We are absolutely thrilled for her! While Michelle was in Asia, Hubby and Kate worked and Kate hung out with friends doing things like paddle boarding (it is great to hear her work stories!), Natalie and I watched the Women’s College World Series when we weren’...
