Colorado Visit

Ella really wants a baby brother :)

The girls and I took a trip to Colorado to visit 3 of my wonderful friends and their families. We saw The McNeals (Annie, Damon, Chevalier-almost 5, Ciel-Nevaeh-almost 2, Tyshyn-days old), The Gilpatricks (Tennyson, T-Jay and Paige-13 mo.) and The Demeesters (Katie, Marc, Josiah-4, Jonas-2 and Ephraim-2 mo.)

It was so great to catch up with my friends (I hadn't seen them in YEARS!) and meet their beautiful children; to see their families in action. I am so blessed to have such fabulous friends. It brings tears to my eyes when I think about it. I LOVE YOU LADIES!!

THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU FOR TAKING SUCH GREAT CARE OF US WHILE WE STAYED AT YOUR HOMES!

Ella on the Spiderweb. T-Jay took her to this park our first night there. He challenged and helped Ella "conquer" the web. She was quite proud.

Me and Ella with a giant bug! We had fun! I was even crazy enough

to hold Rosie the Tarantula!

Just one of the hundreds of butterflies we saw.

McNeal family:

Adeline with her friend, Damon.

(We had to make sure Ciel knew they were just friends. She kept saying: MY DADDY!!)

I am still amazed that Annie hosted us with her DAYS old newborn (plus her 2 older kids!)

FIVE kids!!

(Annie snuck Tyshyn in at the last second. Very impressive!

We actually got them all in the same picture!!)

The littlest ones at the park.

The biggest ones having fun!
