It’s really amazing to look back at our blog that hasn’t been updated in over seven years. Noah and Luke are 8 now, and poor Joseph (5) never even made it on the blog. I guess life got a bit busy and blogs aren’t as cool as they used to be. Maybe I’ll never write… Continue reading Building a time tracking app for a virtual running event

Month Five
Look at that…I’m behind. On with the fifth month. We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner with friends, although we missed our families! Other than that, we just enjoyed our time and even walked downtown and back one day for a little outing.
Month Four
The fourth month has come and gone. We have just enjoyed time at home, watching the boys grow and play. We took our first “hike” at Lair O’ the Bear park and generally enjoyed the nice weather. After enough instances like this, we abandoned the swaddle Luke and Noah enjoying tummy time outside After our… Continue reading Month Four
Month Three
The third month came to a close while we were in Nashville. Things got more interesting with our trips to Breckenridge and Nashville, and hopefully the fun outings will continue. Also in the third month, my mom came back to visit, as did Matt, Erin, Evie, & Amelia. We had lots of fun with all… Continue reading Month Three
Nashville Trip – First Flight
In mid-October, we journeyed to Nashville for our first flight with babies. We survived. Flight one: I sat by a self-proclaimed “baby whisperer” who put both of them to sleep for me. Flight two: They let us bring a car seat on, so we let Noah sleep in his seat and tag-teamed with Luke. Success!… Continue reading Nashville Trip – First Flight
Breckenridge – first trip
We made it through our first trip with babies! Joel’s office had a work retreat in Breckenridge, and families were invited. We spent 4 nights in a 3-bedroom condo with two other coworkers…and honestly the nights were a little stressful trying to keep the boys quiet, not to mention having them in our room (they… Continue reading Breckenridge – first trip
Month Two
I better get month two on here since month three is almost up! In the second month, we moved onto to sink baths, hung out more at home, and my mom came back to visit!
Backyard Project
Work on the backyard was one of the items that got cut from our renovation project because of budget issues, so we saved to do the necessary work for the first year we were here. And when we found out we were having babies, we knew we had to get it done or it might… Continue reading Backyard Project
Annie & Marcus’s Wedding…late!
Our dear friends, Annie and Marcus, got married on July 7th. We thought we’d have babies by then and not be able to make it, but it all worked out! Despite some rain right up until time for the ceremony, everything worked out well for a beautiful wedding at Red Rocks Trading Post. … Continue reading Annie & Marcus’s Wedding…late!
Month One
The first month went by pretty quickly! Our babies slept a whole lot the first week home, and it was great. We woke them every 3rd hour to feed them, and I hated my alarm every night. We quit setting the alarm after the first 10 days or so, and the sleep hasn’t come quite… Continue reading Month One
