So Long, Tercel

So long, Tercel, Auf Wiedersehen Goodbye...(think the Sound of Music)

So we finally got rid of the Tercel. The Tercel was a generous gift to Lance from his sister Becky before we got married. It was a very classy car (minus the fact that it had no back seat as pictured below).

I had many fond memories of the Tercel...this is the car Lance picked me up in on our first date (and I still married him). I was probably glad to see he wasn't a big spender. After many years of dedicated service, it was time to let'im go. It was on its last leg anyhow. When it was gone, Lance let out a sigh of relief that he'd never have to drive the thing again. He is looking forward to a car with power steering, no wretched belt sounds, and oh yes, a back seat.

Boulder, CO

We finally made it up to Boulder after living here for almost a year. We ate lunch at a popular Tea House (which was very yummy) and had fun walking the Pearl Street Mall where there were all sorts of street purformers (musicians of ALL varieties, magic shows, jugglers, etc). The weather was perfect: just enough overcast that it wasn't too hot. Next we headed to Chatauqua Park. The mountains were beautiful and there were TONS of walking trails. If we had more time I would have hauled the jogging stroller up there and gotten a good hike in. Oh well, at least we got to see it.

My how I've grown!

This little guy just keeps getting bigger! At his four month appointment he was already over 15 lbs! He is getting really good at taking regular naps finally (thank goodness!!!) and is almost always a happy little guy. We sure love him!

4 Month Photos

If you can believe it, Isaac is already 4 months old! He is getting better at picking up toys (and putting them in his mouth), and loves to make all sorts of 'talking' noises. He is so much fun!

Thanks Grandma!

Isaac and Grandma got to spend two full days together while Lance and I flew to Nashville to find housing. We appreciated so much her willingness to watch this little guy around the clock. It sounds like they had a good time together and Isaac even cooperated and took his bottles!

Garden of the Gods

I brought my mom home with me after my trip to Utah and we made a little excursion to Colorado Springs where we visited the Garden of the Gods, a very unique city park. We tested the off-roading limits of the Chariot and got pretty sunburned (including Isaac's little hands unfortunately). We went to historic downtown Manitou, enjoyed a beautiful park there and some yummy food. I was glad I made it here before we moved!
