Sometimes life is best followed by a glorious little app called Instagram. I’m woefully behind on life so here are our happenings before big Spring Break in Utah:
Hadley competed in her second Destination Imagination tournament whereupon she performed the riveting role of a mouse.
Suffice it to say, she was seriously bummed to snag up that role before she realized she could have had the role of a lifetime: a cat.
Speaking of which, our amateur photographers have been taking lots of pictures of Fat Kitty in his element….
….Whining and longing to go outside.
They also documented Fat Kitty’s love story. A new family moved onto our street and they brought Austin the cat with them. It was Fat Kitty’s first kiss ever.
Even Bode who shuns any signs of flirtation admitted he couldn’t turn away from the burgeoning romance.
Imagine their disappointment when they realized Austin was, in fact, a dude.
We’ve been spending a lot of time at the skate park and playground with our neighborhood besties.
A hint of many glorious evenings to come this summer.
Hadley and I are training for her first 5K, The Color Run. First item of business was shopping for running shoes and second was her first run.
She’ll be passing me in no time.
Every day when Hadley comes home from school, she holes herself up in her room to create something amazing.
This is what happened to my office chair during one of her many sessions.
One Saturday, we were Junior Naturalists at the Lookout Nature Center.
Or rather, the kids were. Jamie and I are more in the “senior” camp.
As for me, I’ve been keeping busy. One day, I appeared on Denver’s top news station, 9News, showcasing various baby shower items.
I miraculously survived without stuttering too much.
And through my almost-daily adventures, I’ve seen winter slowly seep into spring. From this hike up Matthews Winters in my Yaktrax….
to Confluence Park.
To a very steep hike up Apex Park to my new favorite overlook of the city.
To mountain biking Standley Lake.
To more mountain biking.
Only in Boulder would a trail with the name Community Ditch be so beautiful.
Some people call March Denver’s “shoulder’s season.”
If that’s the case, I can’t wait to see what our regular season will bring.
