More snow in October!

The kids and I have been snowed in for the last two days as a "fall" blizzard blows through Denver. Yesterday was fun and a novelty, but after today we are getting cabin fever. Ross hopes to arrive back this evening and all looks good, however it will be a long ride home from the airport.

We are keeping busy indoors with Halloween stickers, coloring and baking cookies. We also have been outside to shovel and Liam LOVES playing in the snow. He "helped" me shovel, discovered snow diving off the front steps and we attempted digging out a fort. All good snowy fun, finished off with a snowball fight....

Lily is walking!

Today Lily has taken her first two steps from mommy to daddy. She is quite proud of herself and it is still quite shaky, nonetheless she will be keeping up with Liam in no time! The best part, is here daddy was here for this very important "first" ; )

We had our first taste of winter this week when a few "flurries" turned into 6 or more inches. Liam couldn't wait to play in the snow and we built a small snow man, however Lily is not yet outfitted for the snow and watched in frustration through the window.

It is only October, way too soon, but as usual the sun has come out, the warmth is back and the snow is gone already!

Day out at the Zoo

We all had a great day with 86 F weather, great fun at the zoo and well behaved kids the whole day! Although I thought Liam wore a questionable hat, it did do it's job of keeping the sun off him :)

Pumpkin fun with kids!!

Today we visited the Pumpkin Festival at Chatfield State Park. The kids had a great time roaming around the pumpkin patch and Liam took the time to find the right one for "Pom-Pom" the jack-o-lantern. We met The Finlays and The Woods there, so the kids got to run around the patch and have some fun at the carnival!

Last day in paradise

Sunny!

For a week in October we had a great vacation in Kauai at the St Regis Westin Resort - which was great.
