Colorado



Sage and I went to Colorado this week to visit the Copples, and WOW I want to live there. The weather was beautiful and the scenery is unreal. Yes, I was born there and have been there several times, but I guess I forgot how pretty it is. I love their house and the area they are in. Very Midlothian-ish. I went w/ hopes of helping her decorate, but we seriously scoured the entire state and found zero furniture that we liked. So, we did a little painting and that's pretty much it. Quite the bummer. Next time, Aud.

Anyway, Sage was a trooper and did wonderfully on the plane rides. We took the 6 AM flights out and back, so her schedule was way off and she is still recovering. As am I....

Chance and Kenedi are so cute. Chance really loves his "baby Sage", and often asked if he could eat right along w/ her. From me. It was cute. Kenedi loves Sage too, but in a crazy way. She likes to gouge her eyes out and squeeze her. It's so cute. We had to keep Sage up off the floor when big K was around. I love that girl. Here is Chance talking to Sage and "making her happy".


She has found her fingers and seriously likes to gnaw on them all the time. She drools like crazy now. It's so cute.
On the plane. She's been up since 3:30 in this picture, and didn't sleep until 11! She was so tired.
OK. I have the best baby. I took this when I was picking up our bags and she hadn't slept for 6 hours. Happy as a lark. Yes, she's spoiling me. Thanks Aud and Craig for having us, we love you!
On a side note, my baby has outgrown the sink and is on to the big girl tub. And wow, does she fill it out or what? When did she get so big? She looks mad in this picture, but she loves bath time. She was just lounging--screamed like a banshee when I took her out.
I'm in love.

Love those big eyes.

Oh my gosh!! Sage is so incredibly cute! I know that is what everyone else said on their comment, but I don't care. I had to reiterate. And congratulations on your race. You and Kristina are my idols. I have gained 30 lbs since I have been sick, so I have got to begin an exercise regimen since I am starting to feel better now. I am more out of shape than I have ever been, even after my babies were born, from just laying around for almost a year now. I added you to our friends and family link list on our blog. Hope that's okay. Holy long comment Batman! I'll leave you alone now.

The tighty-whitey-clad Chance reminds me so much of Drew. That "run about unabashedly in undies" trait doesn't go away...even at age seven :-).
