Posted in Colorado living, Geneva on Mar 19th, 2011
some Saturday fun. I asked Geneva to show me her excited face: She was very excited to see Bob and Larry, but did not understand why they had arms. haha. I told her they had arms so they could give her a hug! But she only had hugs for Bob. I joked with her that [...]
the Nutcracker!
Posted in Colorado living, Geneva, Holidays on Feb 5th, 2011
Geneva has been quite engrossed in The Nutcracker ballet for probably a year and a half. She knows the story backwards and forwards and can readily recognize most of the music. This Christmas season I knew I wanted to take her to see the ballet, but knew she just wasn’t old enough to sit through [...]
TREE HUNT!
Posted in Colorado living, Holidays on Dec 15th, 2010
Michael and I both grew up in an area of the country where tramping through the forest to cut down your own Christmas tree is normal and in families where this was a favorite tradition. This is one of the Christmas traditions that we want to continue in our family! This year we made a [...]
Snowy Vacation

We are so, so blessed to live in the land of the Rocky Mountains. Some of our dear friends from Los Alamos own a condo in Frisco and almost every year we’ve lived in CO we’ve been able to go up there for a little family getaway. This year we decided to go Halloween weekend [...]
fall tradition
Posted in Colorado living, Holidays on Nov 26th, 2010
Here are pictures from our annual fall trek up to Anderson Farms, our favorite fall festival and corn maze in the state. Every year they have the most amazing non-haunted corn mazes you’ve ever seen – this year there were three mazes, an eagle catching a fish, and a moose and a grizzly bear in [...]
Aspens 2010
Posted in Colorado living, family on Oct 10th, 2010
The turning of the aspen trees is one of our favorite things about living in this part of the world, and for better or worse (and believe me we had some of both this year), making the trek to see them each year is a favorite family tradition. We packed a picnic, but it was [...]

Posted in Colorado living, family on Oct 6th, 2010
Next time you come to the Springs to visit us, we will probably take you to Serenity Springs Wildlife Center. It’s pretty much the coolest place we’ve visited since we’ve lived here. Forty minutes to the east of Colorado Springs, Serenity Springs is a sort of retirement home and rescue center for ‘non-domestic felines’ and [...]
picnic in the mtns
Posted in Colorado living on Oct 5th, 2010
You are miraculously tied to the terrain in which you grow up, and Michael and I will always love and crave gigantic bright blue skies and majestic rocky mountains. We are beyond blessed to live so close to such beauty and to pass on that ‘wiring’ to our kiddos. Last weekend we drove up the [...]

(she has real friends too) haha. This is Miette, one of Geneva’s very best friends. The girls are 3 months apart and just have a great time together. It is an unbelievable blessing to have family friends where the moms are friends, the dads are friends and the kids are friends. We just thank the [...]
