Just around the corner

As you can see, we went to the mountains today. It was a beautiful ride, but I was disappointed. I was hoping to see more fall colors. Instead, everything was yellow...or green(pine). And yes, for those of you wondering, it was snowing at the top. There wasn't an accumulation on the ground, but it was 37 degrees and coming down. Tomorrow the mountains are expecting more snow and only rain in the city. Thank goodness. I'm just not ready for all of that stuff.

Thinking about winter makes me miss home. I'm not ready to hybernate again.

Fall

Ok, so here's to being a little more creative. Everything around here is changing colors: the sky, the leaves, my hair (If anyone would like to fly my hair dresser in Southaven, Laura, out so she can fix me up, I'm taking volunteers...haha).

Tomorrow Tom, Micah and I are planning a trip to the mountains. The Aspens are changing and we hope to get some nice pictures.

Have a lovely weekend!

Weekend in sight

I'm starting to feel a little like a slacker. All of the videos I've posted lately seem to be the same thing only Micah is wearing a different outfit. Hopefully, I can be a little more creative this weekend and get something unique or at least different.

Tom's off work tomorrow. We get to pick up Micah's 3 week pictures from JCPenney too. That means a trip to the mall and I'm excited. Yay!

5 weeks old

I forgot to mention that Micah is 5 weeks old today!

Wii

Above is a video of Micah right before we took him for an evening walk.

Last Friday, a package arrived at our door containing a Wii (that's the latest Nintendo, Mom and Dad and who ever else who's reading this that doesn't keep up with video game technology). We searched high and low for the system and Tom finally found one online through ToysRUs. Entertainment. I not only can keep Micah calm and in my arms, but I can play Zelda while doing this. It's great. I haven't exactly mastered feeding him or changing diapers while playing, but he sleeps great in my arms and lap while I play. I've been playing Zelda, a storybook type game that you have to use problem solving and hand-eye coordination to play, like it's crack. I admit it. I'm addicted. I told myself that tomorrow I'm not going to touch that game. On the other hand, the Wii Fit came in today (the main reason we bought the Wii). The Wii Fit is an interactive excercise video game. It comes with a balance board that you stand on to play the games. Only, I can't play this one and hold Micah at the same time. I do hope I can play it enough to lose the rest of this baby weight though. So, that's been my life for the past few days...

Denver Zoo

Ok, so I'm not sure how this blog will look b/c somehow I've changed the settings to show pictures and video in HTML rather than actual pictures while I'm putting this together. Bare with me.

Yesterday Tom (aka Ranger Rick in the pictures) and I took Micah to the zoo. Tom's company held a family social event there, and we figured it would be a great time to get out of the house for a few hours.

In other news, the crazy lady across the street who would always stare out her front window into our house moved out Friday night. Since last night, I have watched at least 4 male college age guys move in. I guess since I've been watching out my front window at them...that makes me the crazy lady now. I just really hope the one with the hoopty car doesn't always keep it parked in front of our house.
