Here are a few photos from a recent hike up Kelso Ridge on Torreys Peak. This had been on my hit list for awhile. The main trail is extremely busy on the weekends, but the ridge offers a more exposed scrambling route with far less traffic. We left at 4:45am, were hiking by 6:15, on [...]
A little update from Colorado… Annie is finished with school and feeling much better physically. She is getting a bit more round, little by little. No noticeable movement from the baby yet, but the heartbeat is good and the checkups are normal. By the end of the month we will know if the baby is [...]
It’s been a few months since our last post, and I’m sorry that you all got were Yip Yips and crayons. Well, maybe not too sorry. So what have we been up to? Mainly teaching and architecting, and looking forward to warm weather and longer days. At the end of January we finally got together [...]
Rather than give each other gifts for our 30th birthdays this month, we decided to take a trip to Glenwood Springs. We stayed at the Four Mile Creek Bed and Breakfast, in their recently completed “Barn Suite.” It was exactly what we were looking for… complete with fireplace and clawfoot tub. Upstairs was a performance [...]

To start off my birthday week, the amazing ladies who meet at my house every Tuesday surprised me with brownies, raspberries, whip cream, and cider! I didn’t think any of them knew my birthday was that week; but they did, and it was [...]

Farmer’s Market Saturdays meant leaving the house at 5:40 am and working until 2 pm, in sometimes freezing weather. It also meant nibbling all day long on the prettiest vegetables around and getting to know [...]
KT and Ev came to visit in October for what I am hoping will become an annual tradition for them. We did as much city exploring as we could in between cold, cold, cold snowfalls and my car breaking down. We did manage to visit: the zoo with the McPheeters, Hammond’s Candy Factory, the Children’s [...]
I know, I know, I haven’t posted any photos of the house yet…. it’s in progress! But here are a few photos of the front yard during our recent snow storm. Amounts varied across the city, but I think we had 16″-18.” Further to the south and west the totals were around two feet. Looking [...]
