28 Weeks

Yes, that's right - somehow we have managed to make it to 28 weeks.   I'm trying to figure out where the time has gone and we are hastily making plans to get everything done before baby arrives!  In addition, we are in the process of getting ready to go back to school 2 weeks from tomorrow, so lots going on around here.

As you can see from our Wordless Wednesday post, we were in Colorado recently.  We actually took a wonderful vacation 3 weeks long.  We drove to Minnesota to visit MJ's mom and one of her brothers.  We also drove to CO to visit her other brother.  We figure we drove about 6000 miles in those three weeks.   We had lots of fun and it is always nice to spend time with family.

Next OB appt is tomorrow - we get a peek at Cupid, regular appt, appt with insurance, and also glucose test.  I thought since they did it early and I passed no problem that I wouldn't have to do it again, but they said I still do.  I am already dreading the sickly sweet orange drink. 

We are just enjoying our last couple weeks of vacation and gearing up to meet Cupid in a few short weeks - the time will be here before we know it! 

We're BAAAACK!!!

We finally made it back home! We had a wonderful vacation, but it is always nice to be back in your own bed. The cats were VERY mad at us for leaving them for so long, and the dogs were excited to see us, though they wouldn't have minded just staying at the farm - they love it there! They are quite tired out though and are doing a good job snoozing on the floor!

Here are a few last pictures of the rest of our vacation. We went to the Prison Museum in Canon City while still in Colorado - it was actually kind of interesting!




Then, back in Minnesota, we complete the "honey - do" list which included trimming hedges, cleaning out the gutter, and a couple of other small jobs. We also got to spend a few hours with our niece and nephews. We went down to the school to skateboard and play and we all went out to lunch together. It was a great vacation!

Colorado Update

Well, we made it to Colorado on Friday, and have been having a great time ever since. There is lots of wildlife here; a deer that visits the backyard and a bear that visits the trash can!

We have had some great meals including a seafood boil and ribs slow cooked on the grill! YUM! YUM!!! Here are some pics of those wonderful meals!!!

Annette, MJ, and Joyce went rafting yesterday and had a great time!!! They rafted the Arkansas River and went through the beautiful Royal Gorge. It has been really hot here during the day, but beautful at night.

Today (Tuesday) We are sitting and watching a fire in the mountains due to a lightning strike yesterday. According to the powers that be, there is nothing to worry about, but we keep seeing some pretty good flames!

All in all, we have had a great time just visiting with each other!
