VAIL, days 2 through 4
Enjoyed the pool (on the roof!)

(pictures to follow)

VAIL
It is beautiful here. We are relaxing,eating and enjoying the cool weather
(it was 45 degrees last night).

the view from our room

two more days of Colorado comfort...more pictures to come...

a few of my favorite things

this Exersaucer from the CCC Sale. $15 and still kickin'
(and Sadie, of course...we call her our 'tiny favorite')

my awesome husband. here:our 7th anniversary last week, getting ready to Jet-Ski (he surprised me with this little adventure, instead of just dinner. I drove for a bit and whooped and hollered like a cowgirl. the need for speed!)

our little orange toad friend who lives on the porch (WITH our dogs)

these freeze-dried herbs from Albertson's: they reconstitute when added to liquid (no more wasted leaves)

Pot roast

As you may recall,our friends Johnny and Taylor are living with us for a bit while they look for a house and try to sell theirs in Killeen. This weekend, Taylor made a scrumptious roast..and we enjoyed it all weekend.

as you can see, Sadie is fan.
(she ate it of course, but also tried it on her face, in her hair and on the floor)

Our life in film

Here are a few videos from the last month..and yes, they are mostly of Sadie.
You didn't really want to see us, did you?
(also, forgive the silly Mommy voice)


Sorting through her toys

perusing her books while waiting for food

tickles with Daddy

Back to Aggieland

SATURDAY: We made a quick trip to College Station to see our friends Claire and Josh get married. What fun!

SUNDAY: Jason brought back donuts and coffee from Sweet Eugene's, then we relaxed and played at our hotel.
