denver: september 2009

i went with my mom to denver to watch andrew's kids. they were spending a few days in mexico for an anniversary trip and i offered to go along to help my mom. i just hope i was able to add to the help department and not add to the more stress department!

the week was full of washing clothes, bathing kids, feeding kids, eating ice cream, eating out, dyeing & cutting hair (not mine), going shopping, going shopping without kids (thanks tom!), visiting with family, eating more ice cream, doing more laundry, and a whole lot of driving.

i only pulled out the camera a couple of times, so the pictures are pretty lame, but we all know a blog post with lame pictures is almost always better than a blog post with no pictures.

here is one dinner out (the best with the kiddos by far at applebee's):
kate and reynolds had a grand time entertaining each otheryes, i was tired enough to allow my daughter to spit on the edge of the table. talk to me when you're that wiped out :)

and this is a quick shot from our trip to sam's club: kate had her arm around reynolds for a few minutes but of course when i got the camera out, she had moved on from offering comfort to patting him on the back.

our last night in town, we had trav & jen and their family over to visit for a bit. travis provided the fun for kate, thank goodness! :)

i am appreciative of this experience for a lot of reasons, but one of them is that i got a quick shot of what it will be like to do things with more than one kid (not any kind of announcment). at least i'll be a little more prepared for whenever that day rolls around!
