Well, it’s late, so this post will be far too short to get it all in, but we successfully took our first LOOONG road trip with Sam. Bryan ran the Denver Rock’n’Roll half marathon on October 17, so we made a trip out of it. We spent a week in Colorado, soaking up the cooler temperatures, the beautiful fall foliage (did you know that there are seasons other than the “green” and “brown” that Texas gets?), and spending time with good friends that we don’t get to see nearly often enough. (We miss you SO much, Tori and Travis!)<\/p>\n
Sam even got to meet a few new friends, too! He got to meet and play with Sophia (4 years old), Shelby (7 months old), and Austin (6 months old today – he’s 3 days older than Sam). For some fabulous pictures, I’ll refer you to my friend Laura Payette’s blog<\/a> – she’s much more technologically savvy and generally cooler than me. \ud83d\ude42 Sam started crawling some while we were in Colorado, too! A few faltering crawl-steps at a time, but he’s very proud of himself and is continuing to perfect the art!<\/p>\n Now, Bryan has been a Colorado lover pretty much his whole life. I, on the other hand, made my first trip to CO (ever) when I was a junior in college (I spent my spring break falling down a mountain – I mean, skiing – but that’s another story). This latest trip was only my third time to the state, and I’m already scheming how to get back there. I think if we could, we’d pick up and move tomorrow. Logistically, that’s not possible, but man, oh man…<\/p>\n
