Busy busy

The days fly by running after two little ones, sometimes I feel so busy doing not much of anything, but looking through some pictures from the past month shows a different story.

We have a picnic everyday

We've had more moose in the hood, a mama and very young baby



Audrey had her first visit to the dentist and the hairdresser.


Here Audrey is sporting one of the many goodies from the dentist.


And here she is sporting her new haircut.

A couple of old friends of Chris's came to visit for a fun-filled weekend.























There has been a lot of soccer to watch!!

And we have been watching Julian get the hang of standing without hanging on, as well as moving around on his feet while hanging on to whatever he can get his hands on.






Oh yeah and we took a trip to Palisade and went to one day of a music festival, but no pictures were taken of our festivarian crew because Julian and I broke the iPhone during the drive there.

Remembering Party



We went to Denver last weekend for a memorial for Gampy, Chris's stepdad, John. It was a lovely celebration of life and a great weekend full of time with family.











Lisa organized a slideshow of pictures of John, which the viewers thoroughly enjoyed.



John's brother Charlie shared some memories of John and the ended with a modified version of this poem while a rainbow formed in the sky.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.
