Oh, I forgot to mention. Enzo now has a mohawk.

Life is a whirlwind lately.
Just a few weeks left of school.
Just a few weeks to finish the house before (God-willing) we move.
Just a few short months and Ruby will be three!

*exhale*

In my weakness God is proved strong.

I hosted a little make-over party for my friend and Mary Kay lady, Michele, and it was a lot of fun.
It's also almost my 1 year dreadlock anniversary. This year has been a blur, a struggle and a huge learning and growing experience.
Also, Chuck graciously replaced my broken-screened phone with the newest version of the Iphone and it has a self-portrait function so you can see the photo of yourself that you're taking. It maybe doesn't make much sense unless you see it.
Anyway, I say all of that to say, that's why I've included these photos. I'll post some cute-headed children photos soon.

Baby Hair

Enzo's hair is growing little by little and I just noticed today that if we buzzed the sides he'd have a full Mohawk. Right now it's really just a cute little duck tail.
What a sweet head.

Denver

Our last stop before driving home was Denver. We specifically spent time around the area where the REI flagship store is. We enjoyed shopping but really enjoyed walking around and eating in the little quirky restaurants.

Here's Ruby and I In front of some rapids. There were really nice walking and even kayaking trails. You can see the REI store behind us.

We'd enjoy spending more time in Denver someday and when the kids are older doing some more hiking and maybe even camping and kayaking!

Sweet Cowgirl

Little Cowboy

Spent some time in Golden

While in Co we visited Chuck's Gran and her boyfriend, Dick, in Golden. It's a cute little city just outside of Denver. There's a train Museum there that Ruby loved. We got to go inside train cars and even see an elaborate miniature train set-up with working trains. She thought it was pretty fascinating and could have watched it all day. The picture is her and I next to a huge engine. The wheels were so tall!

After the museum we did a little shopping (I bought some Vibram five fingers) and then we had dinner at Dick and Gran's. Chuck's Uncle's Randy and Robert were also able to join us and it was really nice to see them. We hadn't seen them since our wedding celebration!
Ruby's favorite part, however, was that Dick let her play with his little animal totems. They were made from different types of rock and were shiny and smooth and the perfect size for Ruby to hold and count and imagine with.

We all look forward to visiting again.
