Missing our company

Elliott (and Ann) we miss having you around! We are looking forward to our visit later this summer.

On Sunday, after making sure A and E got through security at DIA, we decided to explore more of the Denver area. Driving through the SW area we ended up having lunch at the Coffee Cup Cafe in historic Monument, running into a major biker rally in downtown Colorado Springs, and browsing the shops in Old Colorado City (a quaint western section of Colorado Springs). Prior to leaving CS, we indulged in sweets at the Black Bear Diner -- milk shake for Aaron and blackberry cobbler for Vicki. We now have some other Colorado sites to take our guests to.

No company also means we should be accomplishing tasks on our "To Do" list. I am happy to report we have been checking off items throughout the week. (We are also enjoying the flexibility of relaxing whenever we wish.) The house locks are finally re-keyed, batteries are changed, we have our pool passkey, and the garage is clean and organized. Of course there are more items to be done, but I think it is time to a bike ride and enjoy this cooler weather.

Visitors

Ann and Elliott have been visiting us this week. We are enjoying our time with them! It is so awesome that they were able to come for a whole week. We've done some sight-seeing each day. Elliott is a great vacationer. He gets little cat naps in between places or in the stroller. We try to have floor time in the morning and at night. We will be sad when they go home. Check out some of the pictures from our adventure. Hope you are enjoying your summer!

Kickin' Back

Currently enjoying the summer vacation... Ann and Elliott arrived this morning from MPLS. We are so excited to have them spend the week in Colorado. The girls are on the farm with Grandma and Grandpa. Elliott traveled well, but he isn't sure about napping at our place, so she is trying to get him to sleep. Meanwhile, Aaron is already napping and the dogs and I are enjoying the pleasant weather in the shade out back. Check back - as we may have some pictures of Elliott in the mountains. We plan to head up to Summit County tomorrow.

SUMMER!!!

Yeah!
Vacation time is here!
We are spending our R and R time

all our blooming flowers...

Memorial Weekend

We were blessed to spend time with Mom and Dad Murray over the Memorial Day Weekend. They kept us busy with shopping and site seeing. It was a wonderful time, and we are so thankful they were able to make the trip out here.

Our Memorial Day was spent in the grandeur of one of our nation's beautiful national parks -- Rocky Mountain National Park. Only traveling half-way across Trail Ridge Road - we ended up in some snow and wind. The views were gorgeous and the company was terrific.

Thanks Mom and Dad!
