We are back!

We spent an amazing 20 days in Estes Park and Boulder, CO. It was a great trip that went by way too fast! It did not feel like we were there for three weeks! It was a wonderful trip filled with stories and games with the cousins, hikes with the family, wedding preparation and showers for Meredith, and beautiful quiet time in the mountains! Here are some great pictures from the trip!

Elle had her 4 month appointment on August 20th, Andy's Birthday! She weighs 2 ounces away from 14 pounds! She is in the 25-50% for height, weight and head circumference - so she is growing steadily! She has changed so much in the last three weeks! Her development is amazing - rolling side to side on her back and flipping from front to back (she hates tummy time so she likes to roll to her front when we put her on her stomach), laughing and "talking" A LOT (she is VERY vocal), grabbing and lifting everything she gets her hands on, and holding onto and engaging with everyone who holds her. She is a lot of fun!

We will be starting some rice cereal soon so shortly we will get up pictures of her first attempts at eating solid food!

God is good! We are so blessed by Elle and the more she interacts with us the more our lives are enriched!

Colorado Hiatus

Hi all! Our family has been in Colorado for the past two weeks and Elle and Cara have one more week here (what a great long vacation!)! Just wanted to update the blog so folks know that I will be posting again once we get home. I will have tons of great pictures from our Colorado trip! It has been wonderful visiting with all the family! Last week was our annual family reunion in Estes Park! It was a blast to be in the mountains with the entire family - all four generations! I will be back to post at the end of August! Love you!
