I resisted the temptation to title this post "my brother is a bad, bad man"! In fact we're very proud of him, but knew this day would come. Pat and I both said that, barring some horrible injury, we knew he would finish this adventure once he started it. Our recent trip to Coronado to see him graduate was fun and sad at the same time, mostly because we don't get to spend that much time with all of us together anymore and it was too short.
The trip did not start off that well, as our flight out of Aspen was cancelled so we headed over the mountains to Denver to catch a later flight to San Diego. Pat snapped a few shots of the pass from Copper Mountain.
We made it to San Diego, and the next morning we were on the bus to the graduation. Of course, we didn't take enough photos, but here are a few from the ceremony...
We miss these guys already!
We headed to Grand Junction this weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa.
Living in a small one-bedroom in Aspen has its pluses, and its minuses, which means sometimes we like to escape to the larger house/kitchen/yard of my parents' home. The dog loves it, the baby has her own room, and we get an extra set of hands for some much needed R&R. Plus the company is top-notch!
On Saturday, Pat took a casting lesson from Western Anglers and did a little fishing at Connected Lakes, then we headed to the pool for Kate's first real swim (and my first time in a bathing suit since getting pregnant!).
On Sunday, we tested out the new toys my parents gave Kate, she loves the Bumbo Baby Seat
, and Stella tried to stay awake on the ride home.
