Heading to Colorado

Hello from the beautiful mountains of Colorado!  Technically, not much of this week was actually in Colorado as we flew out Saturday afternoon, but we did work our way there.  The week was pretty calm leading up.  Unfortunately, Monica's back has been hurting so she couldn't come with us, and Grayson stayed home with her.  The girls were really excited to get to ride the train in the Denver airport, and travel was pretty easy having two older kids who could manage themselves for the most part.

Monday night was the monthly puzzle night at the library, and we all headed over together.  We were able to get a more basic puzzle for Grayson, and he had a good time initially.  About half way through, Grayson and Winry were done with puzzles, and we went over to the kids section in the library and played with toys until Monica and Brooke finished the puzzle we started.  We were even done in time to grab several books before the library closed.

Back to a pretty quick recap of the week.  Winry still loves her new baby dolls, and decided she wanted to make them some new clothes.  She had a paper to make a pattern on, and a ruler.  I never saw a final product, so I'm not sure how far this project made it.

A lizard came to say hello to me at work.  Jelly greeted him first, and made sure I knew I had a guest.  We called the kids in to have a look too.

Winry was... pregnant? with twins.  Bad news, it looks like they're both breech...  Alternatively, she could be nursing, not exactly sure.

And now we're back to the airport.  This time we're in the Austin airport.  After security and a trip to the bathroom, the girls asked if we could get ice cream, and I'm a sucker for ice cream!

Once we arrived in Colorado we were picked up by the Cammacks.  Saturday night we had dinner and just hung out a little before bed.  Joe set up a game night, and Andrew Green and Jordan Nichols came up and we played games until far too late!

On Sunday it was fun to go to church and see all the familiar faces.  Thanks everyone who came and said hi!  The girls spent all afternoon working on a play for us.  They put on a stirring rendition of Tangled.

And that's a wrap.  I've been in communication with Monica, and she and Grayson are doing well.  Church was a bit of a struggle today, but I think otherwise they were happy.  Things are going well, and we're ready for some fun times in CO, and Monica and Grayson have big plans for next week as well!
