Home Again

We arrived home this afternoon and were greeted by a very happy and excited little girl (who changed so much in just 5 days it’s scarry). We had an amazing trip and I for one can’t believe it’s over. I hope to have much more to say about our adventures in the next few days…

Day 2 – Just as Good as the First

Yesterday was just as good, if not better than the first. Rocky Mountain National Park is truly amazing. We took in Sprague Lake in the morning and were treated to a spectacular view with great morning light and our shutter fingers could not have been happier clicking away. Only problem was trying to wrestle the…

Great day in the park

We had a fantastic day of hiking after getting about 9 hours of sleep. The rain held off until about 20 min after we finished hiking and after a soak in the hot tub and showers we opened the drapes to discover clear skies and a beautiful evening. We are gathering camera gear now and…

Go Go Go…

By all measures this is been one of our typical busy summers. It’s not much of a stretch to say that just about every weekend we have someone visiting us or we are going somewhere else. Between playing with Helena and all of our travels I am way behind on blog posts and uploading pictures…

Screaming at the Baptism

We returned to the “scene of the crime” (ie where we got married) this past weekend for Helena’s baptism. She decided to announce herself screaming while she joined the ranks of the Catholic Church. I can’t say I heard anything the Priest said during the ceremony but we somehow made it through. Helena met the…

The Rest of the Myrtle Beach Photos

This is just a quick post to let my “loyal followers” of which there are few, that we uploaded the rest of the photos from vacation. Myrtle Beach – Part 3 Helena has kept us busy the last couple days with a lovely (NOT) virus called Hand, Foot, & Mouth Disaease. The symptoms include rash…

So Many Changes

Helena has changed so much in the last few weeks. No sooner did she start crawling, then, did she figure out how to pull herself up to a standing position. She is trying to talk. Ma-ma is her favorite word. But she is slowly but surely learning how to say dad-da. In fact, today is…
