Twice the Fun Plus One

I can't believe I haven't posted in over a month. Two girls on the move really keeps a Momma busy!! I guess it is time for me to finish up our Colorado vacation post.... Dave, Ellie and Gracelyn at a rest stop on the way from Denver to New Castle. Catherine, my cousin, feeding Ellie. This was one of the nicest parts of vacation...lots of hands to help feed babies!! Catherine and Gracelyn. I think Gracelyn must have just gotten up from a nap-she still looks awfully tired! My nephew, Jake, sitting out on the deck taking in the view. Pretty, huh??? Dave and his trusty horse. If you knew Dave's luck with horses as a child you would be surprised to see him in this picture!! My dad, bro, bro-in-law, and Dave took an overnight trip up the mountain. Thankfully, they all made it back in one piece.... Dave working on dessert! Nathan making a delicious dinner! Ellie and Gracelyn holding hands watching Baby Einstein. I tell you what, those videos were a l...

Just a quick story about the Denver airport that I can't believe I forgot to include in the previous post.... Dave and I were hoping our flights would not be completely booked so we decided to take the girls' carseats with us to the gate. Turns out they were booked so we just checked the seats at the gate in Dallas and were supposed to get them in Denver. They were not on the jetway with the stroller in Denver so we go ahead to baggage claim and get all of our bags and then have to find the carseats. Our flight landed at almost 7 (TX time--all times will be TX time in this post, otherwise I think we will all get confused!!!). Ellie and Gracelyn are usually going down for the night by at least 7 so we were pushing it. I was afraid it was just a matter of time before my sweet, happy girls were transformed into hungry, sleepy monsters. Dave still has to get the rental car so I tell him to go ahead. We were planning on the girls and I waiting at the airport for him anyway. So I w...

Dave and I took the girls to Colorado last week. We met my parents, brother, sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and family from California (aunt, uncle, cousins) in New Castle, CO. We had such a good time!! Before we met up with my family, we stayed with some friends in Denver for a couple of nights. It was so nice to catch up with friends that we haven't seen in YEARS!! Ellie and Gracelyn got to fly for the first time. They did really well getting from Dallas to Denver. We had a 3 hour layover in Amarillo. That is what we get for booking our tickets about 5 days in advance. We decided to fly at the last minute so we kind of got stuck with a not so great itinerary , but it got us there and home.... This is Ellie and Gracelyn hanging out in the Amarillo airport. They look excited, don't they??? Dave planned ahead and made sure to bring the laptop and some Baby Einstein videos. This kept them entertained for about half of our time in Amarillo. Dave making shadow puppets ...
