Unbelievable...

Not to be a buzz kill, but Eric and I are watching a documentary about a town in Charleston, Mississippi
where they still have segregated proms. Morgan Freeman, who is from Charleston, offered to pay for
the prom if they integrated. Many parents and some kids refused. I am completely floored that this still
happens... in 2009... in the United States. I don't even know what to say. Where to even begin...

6,300 minutes

I live for weekends. With a little tear each Monday morning, I start counting down the 6300 minutes until Friday afternoon. The past 2 weekends were no exception. Last weekend, Sarah and Bob came in town and we really never stopped playing. In one day we went to the farmers market, the pool and City Park Jazz. It was the perfect trifecta... We didn't stop long enough to even take pictures. This weekend we resolved to take more pictures. We aren't really good at keeping resolutions, but we did well this weekend.

We took Addy to the Rocky Mountain National Park today. Although it was way too many hours in a car seat, she had fun picking flowers, falling over and visiting the Bakers! What beautiful girls they have, and such a cute home!! Sometimes I worry that we are too old to make new friends. Proven wrong again.






Addy almost caught her first fish tonight. It bit at the fly, but she wasn't quite quick enough. Maybe when she is 2.


Then tonight we said goodbye to our weekly tradition of City Park Jazz. Eric and I were naming our top three reasons we love living in Denver and City park Jazz was on both lists. Addy totally agrees and gave dad a huge high 5 when she got there.

Note Addy's new dress... it is my new creation, again struggling with lenght. It isn't as long as it appears, her feet are actually under there- I promise. I need to come up with a name to put on the tags inside. Any ideas???
