Snow day

How is it February already? We've been busy around here, but Jack and I have an unexpected break today. The high in Denver today is -2 (with wind chills in the negative 20s and 30s), so day care is closed. But since it's Denver, it'll be back in the 40s tomorrow. Thank goodness!


We had a busy couple of weeks around here. Another round of colds and sinus infections made its way through our house. Jack has been off and on with a runny nose, cough, and fever for the past week or two, and Jeff and I are both on antibiotics for sinus infections. Two weekends ago I spent a few days in Manitou Springs, Colorado for a leadership training program through the Colorado Bar Association. It was a great honor to be selected, and after our first retreat, I'm excited for the months to come.


When I got back from my retreat on Saturday, we took Jack to the National Western Stock Show. He was pretty unimpressed, but it'll be fun to take him when he's old enough to look at the cows and horses.




Last weekend was our 5th wedding anniversary! What a wonderful 5 years it's been too--moving to Colorado, finding great jobs, buying our first house, and having Jack. We are very blessed! Grandpa Steve and Grandma Janet came out to watch Jack so Jeff and I could take a mini-vacation to the mountains. I skied for the first time in two years and survived! My legs came back pretty quickly, and we had a great time. We went on a sleigh ride (cheesy, but fun) and had a fancy dinner at the Ski Tip Lodge in Keystone. Best dinner we've ever had, hands down. We're not foodies, but after that dinner, we sort of understand the obsession.


Jack was sick while we were away, but perked up by the time we came home so Grandma and Grandpa could enjoy his normal happy self before they left.
