swing climb

When Omi and Boppi visited in the beginning of September this was the new skill Sawyer developed.







Arches in October

We took a fantastic trip to Arches National Park at the beginning of October. We met up with my good college friend, Beth Ellen, and her family (husband Keith and delightful boys Sam and Charlie). It was hotter than we expected but we took a nice walks, played in the shade of massive rock, and ate great food. As ever, Sawyer was a great traveler and a utter joy to take on this camping adventure.













Thomas the Train!

We took Sawyer for a day out with Thomas the Train. It was at the Colorado Train Museum in Golden. He was utterly thrilled the whole day! We met up with our friends Heather, Pat, and their boy Van as well as Jenn and her boy Charlie. Here are the pics!








Crested Butte

My folks came out for our anniversary weekend to take care of Sawyer so that Dan and I could take our first-ever trip away together from Sawyer. We had a brilliant weekend of camping, mountain biking, and climbing. We are so grateful to have had this opportunity!




My garden - a synopsis

We had an amazing garden this year: tomatoes, peppers, zucchini, summer squash, acorn squash, tons of herbs and flowers, and enough basil to make a freezer full of pesto. Sawyer was a great help and loved helping water.
