A quick visit

We had a VERY quick visit from my Aunt Patty, Uncle Bill, Mark, Wesley, and Olga.  They were on their way home from Colorado Springs in mid-August and popped in to see the house, meet Laura, and give us all hugs.  We hope they come back for a longer visit soon!

Gardens

We spent the last Friday afternoon before school started with Grace's friend, Aubree, and her mom at the Gardens on campus.  As you can see, Laura wasn't very impressed.

Big bath!

On her 2 month birthday, Laura transitioned from bathing with the bath sling to actually sitting in the water.  As you can see, she was very apprehensive at first but then warmed up to the idea.

 

2 months

Somehow the first two months of Laura's life flew by.  We celebrated her 2nd month on August 16th.  By two months, Laura had developed excellent control of her head and was much more interactive with us.  She had her two month check up and weighed in at 11 lbs. 11 oz. and was 23.7 inches long.  It's truly amazing how quickly they grow!

New West Fest

New West Fest was the second weekend in August.  The Murray's joined us and despite it being way too hot, we had a fun time.

 

 Grace got her hair spray painted!

Train time with Harper

Avo's

Grace met a new friend, Aubrey at swim lessons.  Aubrey's family goes to see a band at Avogardo's Number in Fort Collins every other Friday night.  They invited us to join them.  It's so much fun!  There's a big tree house for the kids and lots of dancing.  This particular night, Grace and I went on our own and met Aubrey and her mommy.  It was a fun girls' night out!

Gracie, Mommy, and Laura Day

So sad to see our fun in the summer days come to an end!  

Grace loves the computer games at the library!

Chuckee Cheese and a Concert on the Lawn

How do you exhaust a three year old?

First take her to Chuckee Cheese to play with Alice.

Then take her to a free concert on the lawn at CSU.

Let her get her face painted.

Run in to her best friend from school, Addi.

Meet Siena there.

Have her run up and down a large hill.

 

And of course, baby sister gets to lay on a blanket and look cute!

We had so much fun this night.  We had no idea that CSU did free concerts every Wednesday night in the summer.  You'll know where to find us every Wednesday next summer!
