Welcome back!


Friends I know it has been a long time! Too long actually! It was just yesterday that the technician from Century Link came out set up our internet! 10 days with no email and no blogging was difficult. Not to mention the fact that I needed to pay bills and couldn't :) So, here is an update on our little family in our new home in Denver.

We arrived in Denver at midnight on Friday the 4th of May. We pulled into a motel, slept for a few hours, and then got up at 6:00 stopped at McDonalds for a nice healthy breakfast and then drove to our new house. We all felt immediately at home here. The house is beautiful and fits us well. The yard is miniature, but for now, will be just fine. We are all very content. Craig is loving his 15 minute commute, and we are all loving having our daddy around more. My stress level has diminished almost completely as I am finally unpacked, and don't have nearly as much to worry about as I used to.

Here are a few pictures of the new house, and the kiddies...

My new kitchen...


The family room...

living room...needs some more furniture.

Front of the house, and yes, the neighbors are as close as they look. :)

Nathan's room....since Craig had such a hard time finding a place for our family, and since we were running out of time, this house was perfect except for 1 thing...it only has 2 bedrooms, so Nathan sleeps in the kids HUGE walk in closet. It works great for him because he like it really dark when he sleeps.

And here is the kids room....cozy, but everyone fits.

This is the loft/toy room. If it weren't for this room, the kids would never fit in one room. :)

This is how I cook lately. Logan is almost always sitting on the counter while I work in the kitchen, but lately, Nathan wants to be part of the action too...

This one is just because he is SO cute. Love that face. He's getting so big, so fast!


For those of you who are interested in my dad's condition, here is an update on him. He has had a hard time eating the last 2 weeks, throwing up what little he eats. Went to the Dr. today and had lost 15 lbs. in 15 days, so they are changing his medication, and putting him on a pain patch, instead of pills in hopes that will help him feel better. I will most likely be coming out on Monday to visit and help for a few days. I will likely have more updates then.

So you really DID put Nathan in the closet! *grin* Love the update and the photos. It is a beautiful house. I'm glad you are feeling less stressed and I hope that feeling sticks around for a long while.

I'll be keeping your dad in our prayers. I hope you enjoy your visit with him next week as long or as short as it may be.....

Nathan sleeps in a walk-in-closet. That makes it two of us. (I hide from my kids in there to get extra zzzs):-) Your new house is lovely and everyone's happy. I am so glad.
Prayers for your dad. Sorry to hear he's very sick.
