Colorado Vacay

I didn’t intend to take the week off from blogging, 

but it’s been so nice, resting, reading, 

and hanging out with the CO branch. 

The gents didn’t get a lot of rest,

at least for the first 4 days,

but both swear they enjoyed

putting up the gorgeous new kitchen backsplash. 

And while they worked, the teenager and I embroidered clocks (from Ikea),

and fish (Addy’s still working on hers);

crocheted - Addy already knew how to chain stitch but now she’s a single-crochet, color-changing wizard

who’s working on her second hat and a blanket. I’m so proud!

We pizza-partied for Addy’s 16th birthday

and for Thanksgiving, 

we collaborated to make my mom’s rolls

Doesn’t the backsplash look nice??

and chocolate chip cookies, both for the first time. 

Tomorrow we head home again. Sure wish we could be in two places at once - we’re going to miss these guys a bunch!
