My dad also came for a visit around the end of summer. We did our best to give him a whirlwind tour of the area since he was only here for a weekend.  There are so many things to see in this area that we spent a lot of time driving around and sightseeing. Our…

My Dad came to visit near the end of the summer. It was really nice to see him and it was a different experience in that he brought his RV and actually had a place to park it next to our house! With his home right next door, K was also able to load him…

This post is way overdue, but we wanted to introduce our godson, L! He is the son of my very best friend L and her husband A. K and I were very excited about his birth and are honored to be godparents to him. We went to visit a few month’s after L’s birth and…

2013, you’ve been a great year. We bid you a fond farewell! Reflecting back on this past year, it’s amazing to think about everything we’ve seen and done and the move that we made from VA to CO. The memories and experiences of this year will stay with us forever and will be something we…
