More from the Children's Museum in Denver











The Denver Children's Museum

The Children's Museum in Denver was wondeful. Annabelle and Max spent time pretending to fish, garden, cook, shop, and even dressed like an ant. They were also busy sawing, building, painting, and drawing. Max also spent time in the train room and shooting basket balls in a small child-sized basketball court.















More from Boulder!












Boulder!!!!

We are back from our wonderful trip to Boulder, Colorado. Getting to spend time with Phil, Khristine, Landon, sweet baby Kaia, and of course the beloved Sadie Dog was the highlight of our trip for all of us. Every mornig when Max woke up, he signed "dog" and then he signed "baby," becasue that was what he wanted to do was spend time playing ball with Sadie and gently loving Baby Kaia. Annabelle was in heaven, she got to spend tons of time with Landon, who is the most amazing 13 boy I have ever met! Plus she just feels so at home with Khris and Phil, they are family to her. I got to gaze at the beautiful mom Khris while she nurse Kaia, which was all I asked for in the trip! We all ate delicious food and the scenery with the Flat Irons and the foothills and the giant dandelions and lakes and rivers, and springs and snow and sun and double rainbows and rocky canyons. We were all so happy, it was very hard to leave our friends and such a beautiful piece of the country!

We took tons of photos, here's the first few!

Painting & Drawing

So much painting and drawing happens here everyday!



Annabelle has been working on a canvas for a couple of weeks and she finished yesterday. She named it, "Rocky Mountain High!" It is a reference to her beloved John Denver, who she pretends to be many times a week, saying, "You just never know when John Denver will show up!"
Max draws and paints everyday too, calling all his tight spirally marks all, "Dee!"
