Colorado Break and Some Family Pictures

Image
By
It has certainly been a different but good week. First off, Lucy and Brian helped Kas and I with our family pictures. They did a great job!





Got to have at least one prego pic! 
This week we have been relaxing at Kassie's parents house and enjoying ourselves. We have watched a bunch of movies (including the original Star Wars trilogy) and ate tasty food. Kas and I made the two dishes below for our final assignment for the MOOC class on Child Nutrition.



I made the homemade chicken nuggets and Kas did the tasty veggie dish. We were pretty happy with the result! The class has been lots of fun and we have both learned lots. Hopefully we can do some more classes in the future. 

Also this week I went to Comic Con Denver with Liana. It was pretty amazing, though the line to get in was equally unique (about 3 hour wait). I saw lots of interesting people and things, and decided that I want to get into comic books. 

Vadar and Wolverine were among my favorites

We have enjoyed lots of nice walks. The weather here is a wee bit cold, but it has been very refreshing and incredibly beautiful. I especially enjoyed the walk in the Black Forest yesterday with Kas and her Mom (see picture below). I leave tomorrow to Tulsa where a new adventure begins. Kas took a pic for me to use for my new ID badge - and I was sort of scared to see the result! Nevertheless, we press on, hope on, and look for the Lord's hand in our lives each day.

Dishes

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...

Hinckley's Two Month Update

By
I can't believe it has only been two months since Hinckley joined our family! It feels like a lot longer than that and he is growing so big way too fast! At his two month check-up today, he weighed 13 lb 12 oz and was 26 1/4 inches long. Apparently he is so tall that he is off the medical charts for his age. Hinckley is such a happy, easy-going baby. He smiles, laughs, and coos a lot. Having him in our family is so fun because he helps us realize the joy of everything once again. He smiles at bright colors or new sounds, enjoys kisses and cuddling, and squeals in delight at seeing nature when we take walks. Yesterday at church it was like he had a rubber neck; for about five minutes he just kept turning back and forth to take it all in--the sights, sounds, and smells. Today he had to get three shots at the doctor's office and even that didn't phase him for long. Oh he screamed and his face got redder than I have ever seen it. I held him and fed him afterwards and then ...
