Photo Bomb

Last Sunday morning I got to spend a few hours with two of my besties.  I have a really good picture of the three of us but I had to giggle when I saw this picture that Julia totally photo bombed.  Hee, hee!

4 Months Old

Anna was four months old this last Saturday (9/15).  She has her four month well baby checkup this next Monday.  Since we returned from our weekend trip to Iowa (blog post to come), Anna has needed a lot more bonding time, mostly in the middle of the night, but since she’s so cuddly, I don’t mind so much.  She did great for the 26 hours in the car – seriously a great traveler – but she’s definitely making up for the missing contact over the weekend.

Here’s Anna at the wedding – so sweet!

Durango: Day 2, Part 1

We spent Saturday, the 18th, in Durango and also drove to Four Corners (where Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico collide).  On the way to Four Corners, Anna absolutely needed to nurse right this instance, so Adam took the girls to play at a park while I took care of her.  He took the camera along.

Durango: Day 1

Over my birthday weekend in August, we went to Durango (and a few other places).  I thought I’d split the pictures up across a few days.

Day 1 was our drive to Durango.  I was the driver and Adam took pictures from the passenger seat.  It was a lot of “drive by shooting”, if you will.

(Every time we drive by this place, I think of our friends, the Salmons.  This cafĂ© is at the Kenosha Pass.)

We had some really beautiful mountain view weather on our drive.

Adam had a thing for getting pictures of signs.  The goal was to get a picture of the next few signs within a mile or so of each other.  Goal achieved.

Sometimes the colors are so overwhelming and I am SO very thankful to live in such an awe-inspiring state.

Buena Vista, a super cute mountain town we drove through.  Live here someday?  Maybe.  Smile
