First cold :(

Well our trips were wonderful! Brenton loved flying and seemed to enjoy beautiful Colorado and of course he loved going to visit grandma and grandpa in Tulsa. Our family got a taste of his usual evening round of being fussy, but it was kind of amplified-- we're not sure if it was because we were away from home, on a different schedule, or what. My dad's graduation went well....bagpipes and all....haha I guess you had to be there! Here is Brenton preparing for take-off!















Here is a picture of 4 generations on my mom's side of the family taken while we were in Colorado.














Here is Brenton with Dr. Grandpa. When we were at lunch the day of my dad's graduation celebrating the waitress brought out a cake with a candle in it for my dad and made the announcement, "We want to wish him congratulations-- he just finished medical school!"-- the whole table (16 of us) burst into laughter because we had told her he just got his doctorate-- not MD. :)










Here is a family picture-- Hinkle, Wells, and Gough.











Look how tiny we look next to the Balancing Rock at Garden of the Gods!













And here we are at the Seven Falls-- they are behind us, but kind of didn't make it into this shot! Daddy climbed all the way up the stairs to the top of the falls, but mommy stayed with Brenton.








I haven't uploaded the pictures from Tulsa yet...so that will be another post! Maranda's 16th birthday seemed to go great, though, and we got to eat yummy Chick-Fil-A a lot! We are back home now and should be staying put for a while until we are able to make a trip up to Manhattan to see Great Grandma and Grandpa Anderson and all of Grandma Jeanette's side of the family. Mommy has friends coming in town this weekend-- Brenton gets to meet Ann for the first time. :) The only bad news we have right now is that Brenton is a little "under the weather"....he caught his first cold. We went to the doctor this morning and she said to put some saline drops in his nose and suck out all that snot-- which is not going to make him very happy-- but we hope he is feeling better soon. Right now he sounds like a little piggy-- snorting when he breathes in and out! I guess the double bad news would be that Brenton goes back to the doctor Friday for his 2 month appointment and gets another round of shots.... :(

See ya at our next post!
