My parents, sister Angel, Uncle Joseph and Aunt Valerie took a 2 week road trip out here, stopping at Yellowstone, the Badlands and many other places along the way. My cousin Jake flew out for a long weekend as well. Shawn's parents and sisters did a road trip out here as well for a long weekend. Luckily, we worked it out so only my parents and sister stayed with us until the last few nights when my aunt, uncle and cousin joined us. Regardless, we always had a full house and I loved it! I loved having family there to sip on my morning coffee with =)
Anyhow, back to the baptism--Evan was super cute in the outfit Val got him. Here are a couple of pics with his Godparents and with us (wish I had my eyes open!)
Evan fell asleep at church, but definitely woke up when the priest poured the holy water over his head!
We then went to House Restaurant for a very yummy brunch. We spent the rest of the weekend hanging out, eating, and just enjoying being together!
The rest of July was recovering from the big family visit, tying up some loose ends with our home improvement projects and getting into new adventures.
We celebrated Shawn's birthday by doing a little camping and hiking at Rainbow Lakes. It was a great time, as always. Evan's 2nd trip and he did awesome--no rain this time!
Evan sprouted a few more teeth, bringing the grand total to 6!
I went to a Sublime concert at Red rocks, the Dirty Heads and Matisyahu opened for them. It was awesome!
And finally, I decided to start watching a little girl named River beginning in August. I saw the posting on the Highlands Mommies email (online community for my neighborhood) and decided to look into it. Turns out, she's 9 months old and on the same schedule as Evan. So we all met and decided it was a good fit. 2 days a week, so it's not a huge commitment, just a playmate for Evan and a little cash for me!
So much info--I swear I'll catch up so you don't always have so much to read!
