Running Errands!

This weekend we needed to do some 'utility' errands: Target, Costco, etc and it turned into a fantastic opportunity to see the Place crew. It was really fun to hang with Lilly (Davis was deep into a 3 hour nap so we barely saw him!), we played, did some crafts, some reading, and some hardcore crawling. Also, we are loving the new ski hat Davis handed down...

Thought you would enjoy these pics!

Doggies in the Park

Recently we went to a party in the park for our sweet doggie friend Ellie... Ellie belongs to our friend Shea and sadly she was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. Like so many of our wonderful doggie companions she has gone on to run (and bark!) in heavenly fields and we know she is pain-free, chewing on a big bone, watching over us right now! Someone there took some cool photos of Ryder while we were there, thought you would enjoy.

Happy Daddy, Happy Baby

One of the things Ryder really enjoys is watching Dad working on bikes. It is tough to catch Ryder sitting still, but he will for a few precious moments if it means he can hang with Andy. Also on his list of favorite activities... helping Dad pack the car for a bike race, and bumping helmeted heads with Dad.

Denver Trip

While Andy raced his mountain bike at 24 Hours of Moab, Ryder and I went to Denver for the weekend. It was action-packed with Grandpa Bill and Grandma Kay in town to meet cousin Luke, Aunt Maggie and Uncle Andrew's housewarming party and lots of great time visiting with Mims. It was so heartwarming to see Ryder with his cousin Lauren~ she is sooooo sweet with him! He also mastered crawling on the hardwood floors this weekend and slept and ate like a champ. Is it possible that he grew a full inch over the weekend?!

Mimi Shirley and Aunt Judy!

We had a wonderful visit with some of the Nashville Pooles! Mimi Shirley and Aunt Judy came out and spent some high quality time with Ryder and he loved it. We wish we were all closer physically but happy to have the times together that we do!
