We made this last weekend a long one and took a short trip to Las Vegas to visit some of Noel’s family. We had a great time visiting with family and being recipients of their superb hospitality. Everyone of course loved having Cooper around and didn’t want him to leave. It was good for Cooper [...]
We found a killer deal on flights to Utah and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to visit family. I’m not very good at photo documentation (maybe you’ve noticed), but here are a few pics for your viewing pleasure. Among the undocumented adventures: a riveting high school cross-country meet, guest appearance in a high school English [...]
Back in January we pretty much planned all our family vacations for the month of June – a vacation to Alaska to see Noel’s parents and a camping trip to Southern Utah to rendezvous with my family. The hard thing about planning trips in January (other than not being able to foresee that you will [...]
Hello, again. It’s been awhile hasn’t it? It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. First there was all the moving, packing, and cleaning while Cooper protested from his pack-n-play. (It didn’t help that he cut three teeth that week.) Then there was a start at all the cleaning and unpacking which was interrupted by a [...]
We met up in the heartland (AKA Vernal, UT) with a couple of Noel’s high school buddies over the weekend. Despite a long car ride and weather that wasn’t the most hospitable for the night we camped, we had a really good time. Cooper slept better than he does at home both nights, which was [...]
Some of you know and others of you might have guessed, but we haven’t been in Colorado for the past month. We’ve been in DC while Noel worked on a month-long assignment for one of the parent organizations of his company. For a month we’ve been posing as a young, hip couple living in [...]
The best indication that something exciting is actually happening in our lives is our disappearance from the internet. Sad, but true. Let me briefly summarize the past two weeks. We journeyed to Utah via car, bus, train, and plane. Cooper received so many Christmas gifts that we had to increase our luggage by two bags [...]
My parents and my two brothers sacrificed their Fall Break to come and visit. We loved having them (especially Cooper, who never had to complain for lack of attention). Their visit started with a giant birthday bash for my now 17-year-old brother, Spencer. We were unable to find him a suitable girlfriend online, maybe next [...]
Some family members expressed concern about our welfare since we haven’t blogged in over a week. Don’t worry. We weren’t consumed in the fire (not even close) and our plane from our Labor Day trip landed safely. My creative muse took a vacation, but hopefully will be back soon. It kills me when I [...]
The days of summer are waning and we decided it was time to test Cooper and see if he really belongs in our family. We crammed gear into every spare inch of our little Honda and headed into the Rockies. (For a brief second we wished for a minivan, but quickly chased that unseemly thought [...]
