I’ll warn everyone now that this post is photo heavy, we had just so much fun with Halloween this year I want to make sure I get it all documented. After heading to the pumpkin patch a couple of weeks ago, we had our pumpkin carving experience for the first year in our new house. This…
It’s been busy around here lately, with the new house, toddlerhood and the holiday whirlwind just around the corner. Around here it’s been productive. My laundry room is fully functional, the garage has both cars in it now and the basement is clean and open for the optimal place to play. It’s interesting getting settled…
Now that we have a daughter I look forward to the holidays more than I used to. It’s not that I didn’t before but seeing the excitement and wonder on her face really makes my heart burst. This year we hit the pumpkin patch, Crazed Maze that we did last year (gosh I love the fact…
Ryan’s Aunt has season passes to the Denver Botanic Gardens and offered to take us to the gardens a few weeks ago. The colors were vibrant and the gardens were full. We love going to the gardens but this time around it was even more beautiful. Every year they have an exhibit of some sort…
We had been talking about this day for months. We arrived before they opened and sat in the long driveway filled with people waiting for them to open at 11. A had just fallen asleep and I sat on the car once the gate opened and had Ryan go up first. We decided this was…

Part of me most of me is bursting at the steams with excitement, the tiny remainder is a quiet, reluctant caution that makes us unsure that a celebration is coming instead of another let…
We got tickets for the Friday night came for the Rockies vs the LA Dodgers over at Coors field. We’ve gone several times together but this was A’s first trip to the ball field. We had pretty great seats 22nd row just to side of first base. I would be lying though if I said…
Memorial Day weekend spoiled us. It was the kind of weekend where Ryan came home Thursday night and surprised us with the news he took the next day off last minute, so we could have a four-day weekend. After traveling previously, then work being pretty chaotic for Ryan it was a nice surprise. Four whole…
“Hospice says she has 24-36 hours. You need to get back.” That’s all the text said and my plans for the next 24 hours and the next week and a half was changed dramatically. A and I booked a plane ticket, packed and Ryan took us to the airport that night. I was nervous about…
