Sicky

One thing about when the seasons change is that everyone gets sick. And one thing about being part of a family is that when one person gets some kind of sicky-stuff, its just inevitable that the rest of the family will too. That's where we've been the past week! The children are still so amazing with being sick-- I guess no one has told them yet that when you're sick you're supposed to be miserable instead of laughing and smiling : ) So we have been really blessed in that respect.

Day in Denver

I woke up before the crack of dawn this morning, to SNOW on the ground! NO way!! But it's Colorado, after all... why am I even surprised, right? : ) I slipped into Tiffany's car with warm zucchini bread and 2 steaming travel mugs full of coffee and off we went to Denver, in a car full of packed boxes, to her new place. Such a fun time to see her new place and unpack! Of course I am a little bummed too; she is moving to Denver, after all. In this picture we are in her kitchen after emptying all their Kitchen boxes. Goodbye, sweet friend... come visit often!

Bath Time

Our camera is acting up on us, so no pictures as of late!  We have been busy with life, as everyone else is, for sure : )  Andrew and I were in Denver for a wonderful time last weekend, and got dropped back into the hub-bub of life.  I find myself just relishing the moments I have with Andrew and children, more and more.  How time does dance by at an ever increasing rate!

We are making Christmas plans (YAY!!!) which consists of a snowboarding trip in the Colorado mountains with Daniel and April, and then a road trip back to the Carolinas to hug the rest of the  family!  I will tell you that there is just nothing like a Makinson Christmas!!! : ) 

Fun Days

So after the past weekend, where Andrew was super busy with another conference, we have soooo much enjoyed some down time together. At least 3 times a week we are going for runs together, working out at the gym, and we've just started swimming.... or trying to, at least : ) Neither of us are great swimmers- we can get around just fine, but to know how to do a stroke for a couple of laps is a challenge. Mostly, its trying to get a hang of the breathing pattern. I drink in most of the water. But we've got the pattern down enough that we know if we practice enough, we'll quickly become better at it.
