I love the fall, but it makes me a bit sad because winter in always looming out there. I love to see the world change to all the beautiful colors. I am definitely not in love with the dead look of winter. Snow sometimes comes slowly to Denver (I know you don't believe that, but most of the snow is in the mountains.) Last year when it did arrive it came with a vengeance and we really thought we would never see our road again. We literally got snowed in twice. Hence my need to hold winter off as long as possible.

Last weekend our long time great friends called and invited us for a wonderful day driving through the mountain passes to see the changing leaves. I love the mountains, and still after 15 years miss being so close to them. We had a great day! It was so nice to just get away. We laughed a lot and really enjoyed our time together. There is something to be said about long time friends. When you watch your families grow up and share a lot of good times it just makes for special friends.

Here are some pictures of the beautiful scenery.

Cameron is here! He arrived on August 17th at 7:55 am. I was blessed to be there to welcome him into the world. Nicole made it all look so easy and after an all night labor for her and Marty and I sleeping on a small couch, the big day arrived. I got to go and get Katelyn and take her to meet her brother for the first time. As you can see, she just adores him. I can truly say that each new little one take hold of your heart immediately and seems like they have always been a part of your family

I feel like a whole new chapter of my life is open and I looks so forward to watching him grow and learn all about life. I intend on sharing as much of it as I possibly can. This grandma gig is the very best!
