There are many pics from our visit in my web album so check them out when you can...
We picked up my sister Hillary and her son Luke last Thursday. They flew out for a long weekend visit to meet Zachary and play with Avelyn. We spent most of Thursday playing around the house and napping to beat the time change.
Friday morning we headed out to Little Monkey Bizness which is an indoor playground for the 5 and under kids. Avi and Luke had a fun time playing and we went out to lunch afterwards. Time for a nap and after the naps we played outside for a while. Our weather was gorgeous all weekend thankfully! No snow for us - just plenty of sunshine and 60* weather!
Saturday we headed up to the National Western Stock Show that's held every year in Denver. We walked around the convention center, saw a lot of cattle and even saw the cattle getting ready for their big days - they were getting hosed off, blown dry and even having hairspray applied to their hooves and tails to beautify them. After the show it was time for naps and dinner.
Sunday Hillary, Luke, Avi, Zach and I headed to the pool. Zach slept through it but the other kids had fun especially in the family hot tub - gotta love warm water! After swimming we played outside for a while then headed in for naps. After naps was playing around the house and watching a movie while the Steelers game was on.
Monday was a free day at the Denver Zoo and the weather was fantastic. We were there for about 3 hours and saw everything and ate lunch. We headed home and took naps then again watched a movie and hung out playing around the house.
Avi and I dropped Hillary and Luke off at the airport this morning and then I dropped Avi at school and Zach and I have been hanging out today. We had an adventure filled weekend with a new adventure each day! It'll be quiet around here without them and we hope to see them again soon!

Happy New Year...
Hello all and welcome to 2009!
There are some new pictures in the web album so check them out when you can. We had a good last couple of days visiting before my mom and John headed back home Wednesday. The weather turned quite nice for the early part of the week. Avi went to school Tues and Wed as per her normal routine and that is working out really well. She, of course, would rather stay at home and play with her new brother but has a great time at school with her friends.
We had a party Wednesday night at a neighbors house and I stayed until 10 with Zach and Brandon and Avi came home around 11. We were all a bit spent yesterday but hung around the house and Avi played in the yard for a bit and started climbing the trees out back and was having a grand old time doing it!
Zach continues to do great! He's such a great sleeper - most nights he sleeps from 10-4 and then again 4-8 but he's given us 2 nights of 10-6 so far so we'll take them for sure! He's becoming more of a little person every day and is very alert. We have him doing his tummy time which he really enjoys and sitting up in the boppy pillow he just looks all around trying to figure it all out!
The weather today is supposed to be nice again so we'll head outside soon and maybe venture to the stores and maybe the dogpark for a nice walk. Again, happy new year to everyone!
