Estes Park

Laurie took both kids and two of my nieces to Iowa to visit with Trenton's Grandparents, and his Dad's family. I am so happy that they were able to have that experience. Laurie is a brave woman, and I am so thankful for that because Trenton and I were desperate for a vacation. Emma had so much fun traveling with her Grandma that she didn't want to come home today...and that's just fine with me. I'd rather that than her being attached at my hip. Just in the few days Ben picked up some speed in his crawling/scooting and can get from one side of the room to the other in no time.

While they were away, Trenton went boating with his brother and then we went to Estes Park with Shannon, Steve, Autum, and Matt. My dad put us up in his timeshare and we had fun just goofing around Estes. It rained most of the time, but no one seemed to care.

We went to this adorable Christmas shop that had everything you could think of...including Trenton's favorite- a lit wreathe made entirely of shotgun shells.

It was the perfect day to visit the Stanley Hotel. Very spooky.

And in other news...Ben is much more confident standing. I bet he'll be cruising this week.

It was fun to have the break, but we are both so happy to have our babies home, safe and sound.
