This was a fun day outside for all of us. We swung on our mega swings, we ate a picnic lunch of smoothies outside and Max worked on building a tree house (not a fancy one since we only have 5-6 more months here). I'm envious of the people who get to move here next and I hope they are able to enjoy this place as much as we have.

The weather teased us with a 70+ degree day and then it got cool again. I keep feeling like a wimp here in the South because it IS JANUARY!, but I keep expecting warmer weather than 50 degrees! What has become of this Northern girl?

JB's video of Benaiah

JB has his own digital camera that we got for $50 on ebay and it takes videos. Here is one of the videos of Benaiah that JB took that I thought was just cute...Benaiah's fake smile and he still loves to say "here kitty, kitty" even though the kitty now lives in Colorado and not with us.

Last day in Colorado

Gloria's "on the fence" regarding her princess status...at least she's not trying to do this in her new princess dress.

A sweet picture of Granddude and JB and Gloria.

Gramma Shell explained that catching the biggest goose is the best way to keep the geese from chasing and intimidating them.

This is the last day we had in Colorado for our Christmas/New Years break. The kids had lots of fun catching geese and chickens, "launching" rocket balloons with Granddude, and riding horses.

Random, but sweet Colorado pics

Benaiah loved to watch for trains from the living room window.

Going for a ride on Uncle Eli's legs. He must have a really good belt on...
