July & August

July brought us visitors! Pam and Dan came down for a weekend, and Elsie loved the extra attention! She had so much fun hanging out with her aunt and uncle (and we had fun too!) We also got to see Adam, Katie, and the kids twice while they were here in Colorado. It was so wonderful to be with family and to laugh and talk. Anyone else who wants to can come visit too! Alan and I also got to celebrate anniversary #3! We went up to Ft. Collins for a nice night out. We love it there and hope to live there someday soon. And here's little miss E. enjoying some spaghetti. Man that chicka loves to eat! She is running around all over the place, and babbling to herself all the time. She can say-- dad, mom, baba, shoes, baby, puppy, Jesus, and... poop. She is very good at informing me when she needs a diaper change. She can also sign milk, please, more, and all done. What a smartie! Little E is such a sweetie and is a happy girl 98% of the time. Lastly, we said good bye to dear Goldie. She has been a good reliable car, but living out here now, we need a bigger beast to get us from CO to UT in the winter. So..... Hello Pacifica!

We love this baby. The 4WD and storage space are perfect for trips (and perfect for hauling furniture to be redone. Just don't tell Alan!)
