Colorado Visit

We just got back from a great visit with Mia, Murphey, Nora, Jenny and Charlie in Colorado. Even though the traveling was stressful, and we made two trips to the doctors office, I would still do it all over again! Ryan was sick the first two days and Daniel and Nora were sick with strep throat the last two days of our visit. It was so nice just to be with Mia and Jenny.

Daniel and Nora were absolutely precious. They played really well together, their favorite thing was to be Diego and Alicia. Although, sometimes they both wanted to be Diego and that did lead to some fights.

Ryan asleep on the plane. We had the bulkhead seat so there was room in front of the seat for Daniel to play. Daniel played on the floor while Ryan slept in his seat.

Daniel and Nora playing Doctor (with the door closed)! I took this picture through the cat door.

Isn't Nora sweet, she is reading to Daniel.

The little zombies watching TV

Murphey learning how to play Candyland with Nora and Daniel


Playing MarioKart (the nightly ritual)

The "terrible" mess Daniel made with the trains. Nora was very concerned with it.

Mia's OT session with Daniel and Nora. He had fun "playing" with her and I learned a lot from her.

Charlie and Ryan showing their distaste for the ball.

Pictures of the sick babies.

Some great pictures using Mia's camera. I love this one because you can see all of Ryan's teeth.

The Easter Egg Hunt at Mia's friends house. It was so nice of her to organize this for the kids. The weather in Colorado was all over the place. One day it was warm and sunny, the next day it was snowing. While the kids were collecting eggs, it started to snow.

Nora eating her chocolate she found in an egg. What a look of satisfaction.

Going to a great park. I really felt like we were in Colorado. It was a gorgeous day. In the backround you could see the mountains. It was absolutely beautiful.

Ice cream after the park. Daniel enjoyed the death by chocolate flavor, and we enjoyed the pictures afterwards.

Our attempt to get a picture of all four of them together.

The first time we met Nora was during Spring Break three years ago. Mia got these headbands for them to wear. We have a picture of them as babies, now three years later. They are still as cute as can be!

Thanks Jenny for allowing us to share this week! I am so lucky to have such a wonderful sister and brother in-law. It really meant a lot to be able to spend time with all three of us being together.
