Birthday Time!

For my birthday this year or actually it was for Mary Beth's birthday I went to Beautiful Colorado!!! It was just me since there was only one frequent flyer ticket so Eric bravely and sweetly took time off work to watch the kiddos!!! What a wonderful hubby I have! I was able to see two of my best friends and their families and while I was there I got to see my new neice (and of course my wonderful nephew and brother and sister too)!!! (Thank you all for driving me all around!!!) I am Aunt Nina now to a sweet and smart little nephew and a beautiful neice!!!! My camera was not working :-( and Katie's ran out of batteries when I was visiting so here's a link to a picture that turned out. http://morrowmoments.blogspot.com/2008/09/two-weeks-old.html

MB and Family!

Cara's family!

I can say that being back reminded me how much I love, love, love Colorado. The crazy weather changes like the afternoon thunderstorms and the smell of rain in the air were just a few that I was giddy about! The mountains of course are majestic and the people I got to hang out with are as always fantastic!

Like father, like son!

I felt like very little had changed and yet getting to know the children of my family and friends made me realize time has marched on. It's so fun to see glimpses of them in their children and see what sweet boys and girls they are. I feel so very blessed to call these people friends/family!


I hope all of you in Colorado that I didn't get to see are doing well and I miss you all too! Thanks MB, Cara and Katie for opening your home to me. The memories I have are wonderful!!!

He can.....Spell!

Eric's mom tells the story of the first word Eric could understand when she spelled it 0ut. Apparently she was wanting to know about some I-C-E-C-R-E-A-M and when she spelled it Eric yelled out "Ice Cream!" From then on spelling words was not an option anymore. Well, our time has come. :-) Tonight Eric and I wanted to watch a M-O-V-I-E and so we spelled it out. To which, Daniel yells, "That spells Movie!" So our own story is that Daniel can officially translate our 'spelling speak' and now we must think of a new way, maybe pig latin?

Here are a few pictures of Ellie and Daniel on Daniel's pumpkin patch field trip.
