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
What a great visit! Thanks for taking the time to come up and play with us... The week after your visit brought MORE snow, so the rest of the poop pickup will have to continue to wait. I'll keep you posted with any news on the Castle Rock house. Google maps has some great "birdseye" photos of it that we didn't look at before.
