Well we are off for our annual tropical anniversary vacation with the Johnstons! This year we headed to Costa Rica for a week in Tambor. We often use Luxury Link to search our locations we want to travel to and this year we tried out the luxury link auction – success! (you know mark, just [...]
Yesterday was Elsie’s first day at School (a bilingual day care in Boulder). Here are a few shots of her just before she left … with her suitcase packed with all the necessities (cuddles, wolfgang the dog, binky and an extra change of clothes). We opted for her Colorado Buff’s shirt in honor of Andrea’s [...]
We had a yellow day last week and we took a few photos …
My parents were here for a quick visit this weekend and they brought elsie a snuggable size “Mel-mo” which she has sinced pushed in her stroller, taken to lunch (wiped said lunch on) … well pretty much it has been her sidekick since. Papa also picked out a new little dress at Nordstroms and when [...]

After all, they are affirming your parenthood over a wonderful child comparing you to the most beautiful thing you know (your baby) and I often [...]
We have been up in Montana a lot this summer – for weddings, memorials, and more weddings. On a couple of occasions my Grandma Ruby (known as G.G. Ruby to the great grandkids) came up to babysit. We had a lovely dinner at James’s new restaurant (Bin 119 in Billings) and on another outing we [...]
Yancey was born on the 4th of July – we call him Captain America (for other reasons as well). This year we headed over to the Spruills on the 5th to have a BBQ. It started out quite warm so the girls had some fun in the pool. Elsie is enamored with emma… Saffie stayed [...]
Yes, I know its August, but better late than never. Each year our neighborhood (the greater Indian Peaks West) has a 4th of July Parade – kids decorate bikes and the firedepartment leads everyone around the blocks. Its very well done. Last year we skipped the parade because Elsie was only a wee miniature – [...]
