Sundays at Grandma and Papa's

We've started going over to Bill's parents' house on Sundays after church. These pictures were from last week. As the weather gets warmer, we look forward to going on walks after lunch!

Auntie Alice gave David this horsey for Christmas. It took him a little while to warm up to it because it makes galloping sounds and it's tail wags when you squeeze his ear! But now they are friends!

I surrender!

Wordless Wednesday

Fun at the Park

A few weeks ago, David and I went for a LONG walk on a BEAUTIFUL Colorado day.  We walked around the lake a few times, stopped to see the horses, and ended up at our favorite park.  Bill met us there on his way home from work.  

Yes, he's eating the chain!




We had a blast and are looking forward to exploring more this week as the temperatures are on the rise (at least for now!).  On Monday, we are going to meet Bill at work and head just up the street to hike some trails!  I love the warmer weather!

The End of an Era

So...the ducky died.  He sprung a leak.  I think he had enough of this..

But here's our cute little man enjoying his last bath with the ducky!
We are now on to bigger and better (and deeper) things!  Our bath tub is pretty deep - great foradults, not so good for little ones.  But it works just fine and he loves having more room for all of his toys.
We nipped him walking around as soon as it started, but couldn't help getting a few cute pictures first!

The happy, clean lion!

The Last of Nashville

The kids had a GREAT time hanging out together!  It was fun to see their personalities and just how different they are!  We also realized that we never want twins (sorry Grandma Joy)!  Since Gow wasn't working, we had 3 adults on 2 kids so one of us could make meals or clean up.  Well...Gow and Laura make meals and cleaned up.  They really let me just be mom this week and I am so thankful for it.  I don't know what we will do next time we get together when there's another peanut in the house (Laura's pregnant, not me!)

This picture cracks me up because you can really see the height difference between them.  Sally is only 3 weeks older, but probably has 3 inches or more on David!

I'm SURE there is a picture of Laura and me somewhere just like this one.  Where I'm not paying attention and she's making a funny face!
We had a BLAST and can't wait to get together again soon!  Hopefully next time it'll be all 4 adults and the kids.

Be praying for the Gowans - they are leaving Franklin in a couple weeks and moving to Chicago/Lake Geneva, WI area with Laura's family.  Gow is still waiting on a job, so they will settle with family until a job comes.

Thank you, Gowans, for an AMAZING week!

More Fun with Sally and Company

oh the fun we had!

David did GREAT on the flight to Nashville, but had a hard first 24 hours. He didn't sleep well that first night, maybe it was all the pink!

But after a good nights sleep the next night, he was super!

Here are some more pictures from the park:

We went to a YUMMY burger joint on our last night in town! The kiddos loved looking around at everything going on.

We took a trip to The Grand Ole Opry hotel on a cold day and checked out the indoor gardens. It was a great way to feel like we were enjoying the outdoors without freezing!

We both forgot to bring a camera, so these were taken with my cell phone. Not too bad!
Of course we couldn't get both kids to smile at the same time! So put these two together and it'll be just precious!

One more set to come!

Sally and David

Here are the first set of pictures from our trip to Nashville. We were at a park and the kiddos were able to play a bit!




More to come!
