A big weekend!

molly had a really big weekend. we have been pummeled with snow lately- kristin and i talk about how it seems that we have gotten more in the past two weeks or so than we had gotten the whole winter prior- and yet our snowpack is way above average. last week, the snow caused a two-hour delayed start for my school day on tuesday, and canceled school altogether on friday...leaving dad with lots of playtime with mom and molly. we spent a good portion of the morning on friday down at the pool- and although you might be getting tired of seeing pictures of molly in the pool, we just dont get tired of taking them. between how happy the water makes her and the great natural light at the pool, it's tough to put the camera down!

Sharing with Poudre

Poudre is an incredibly good dog with Molly- she is constantly crawling on him, using him to pull herself up to a stand, laying on his back, etc. We though all this time it was just his good nature...we learned this afternoon that he gets a little something out of the relationship as well!

Just some photos from around the house

Took some shots of Kristin and Molly around the house today, and then realized how few I have of me with her, so Kristin took the camera and I took the bug. Its crazy how big she is getting- seems like she'll start to try walking soon, she communicates more and more with us daily- learns new tricks like "high five", "how big are you?" etc. Lots of fun. We actually received a mailer a few days ago from Babies R Us with suggestions for a baby's 1st birthday party. It took us by surprise a bit to think about the fact that its right around the corner!

A Day at the Zoo

We were blessed with a typical Colorado "break in the winter weather" a week or two ago, and took Molly down for her first trip to the zoo. It was a "free day"- and we learned quickly that we was much more interested in the zillion other little kids there than she was in the animals- for the most part. She took an immediate liking to the hyena group, as well as the sea lions, and tried to squirm out of her stroller to check out the peacocks!

Packers in the playoffs

mom got me all suited up for saturday's big game. while dad has a bit of a hard time taking pictures of me in my green and gold, he's just happy that to see me becoming a wee fan, and tries his hardest to support mom and her pack!

It's been TOO long!

haven taken on some other photo endeavors lately, i have been a bit remiss in updating molly's blog. she is now very much into feeding herself- everything from cheerios to pepperjack cheese-2 of her favorites. she's also trying to use the spoon on her own...clearly with limited success!

mom, dad, and me

mom and dad LOVE this photo...

black and white molly

my dad found some time to get a few great photos of me this weekend in good light for black and whites...he also really underexposed some good images of mom and i- but they still look pretty cool!

my family friends

i got to see lots of people this weekend in chicago that i had either never met before, or hadnt seen since i was "little"...

PUMPKIN PATCH!

holy man- did i have a big weekend!!! let's see- i... - took my first plane ride (and my behavior was phenomenal- what was dad so scared about?) - went to a pumpkin patch, where i met a llama, piglets, chickens, goats, ducks, a friendly little calf, and even took my first pony ride! - met SO many family members- including a few uncles and aunts, a great grandpa, and even a great-great aunt!! mom and dad really enjoyed having some time with me- without having to worry about jobs, homebuilding, etc., and dad found some time and some really great opportunities for good photos. these are all from the pumpkin patch...
