Alive and Well

Despite my absence on this blog for the past several weeks, we are alive and doing very well... I think I'm just trying to cherish every minute we have together before I head back to work on Monday.

For two of the past four weeks we were on a little vacation to visit my dad and grandma in Montrose, CO (my home town) and then down in Phoenix to visit Dave's folks. The time away was enjoyed by everyone and our little man proved to be a trooper in the car for a total of 26 hours of diving.

Bekila discovered swimming pools; hot pools in cold weather and cold pools in hot weather... He loved both.


And, Wallace discovered swimming with Bekila can provide quite the entertainment...

We spent 2-3 hours most days for a week in Dave's parent's swimming pool. Each swimming session followed by a food and a nap.

It was amazing how Bekila adapted to being away; Quickly settling in to each new place and sleeping well. I thought for awhile he was just as comfortable away from home as he is at home... That theory was disproved when we arrived home after two weeks away and he was the happiest I've ever seen him. Laughing histerically at everything and chattering up a storm. It was like the time away solidified that this is his home and we are his parents. I think it was really good for everyone.

I have endless posts building in my head and hope that as I return to work, I'll get into a routine and actually get around to getting my thoughts and photos up here. We'll see what happens. My biggest priority right now is enjoying time with my little family. Every day I love it more.
