Papa's Birthday

Barbara and I had a wonderful time in Denver, celebrating my 60th birthday. Garret helped me make my cake -- we licked the spatulas and ate the batter out of the bowl. Megan got a picture of that excitement, which she may just post!! Another scintillating event was picking up dog poop from a lawn that has only recently become visible since December. Jameson thought it was his job to replenish the area as fast as we picked it up. Owen's hair is getting noticeably darker, and he can now say, "Papa," without growling. Grammy is still the favorite, though, as she and the boys played themselves to exhaustion.

We saw a house in Castle Rock that just might me "the one," if the pricing and timing are right. Right now, that is a pretty big IF. The drive up and back in a 3 day period was long, but uneventful, bolstered by Einstein bagels and Starbucks. The best part of the drive was getting "home" to Crownpoint, and having a melodious birthday song from Brian on the recorder.
Love to all, and thank you,
Dad

Barbara's Birthday

Barbara's birthday was celebrated by a snowstorm ripping through the middle of New Mexico, and dropping 5-8 inches on Crownpoint and I-40. I was trying to get back from a meeting in Albuquerque, and was down to a single lane going 30 mph for about 20 miles. Everything worked out, though, and by the end of the next day, most of it was gone. If the weather holds, my birthday will be celebrated in Denver. Can't wait for that!!
