Trip to Denver

Last weekend Kevin, Ethan and I made a super quick trip to Denver. We went to visit Mary, my roommate from Dordt, and her husband Kurt and son Andrew. We left Friday evening and came home Monday afternoon. It was quick, but so great to connect with them again. They are couple that we can just pick up with where we left off and just feel comfortable around eachother. We had lots of good talks, great laughs, and a few rounds of Rook. Unfortunatly, between the nap schedules of our two boys we didn't get out and do much. But catching up is why we went out there in the first place. Mary and I did some shopping at a local outlet mall and the guys went on a run and took the boys to the park. Another bummer was that Ethan ended up getting sick, so we spent 2 hours at Kaiser with him on Sunday morning. The poor guy had a nasty cold. Since we were all sharing a room, no one slept real well....but we've all caught up on our sleep at home, so thats good.

On Saturday night we had a partial roommate reunion. Molly, Jackie and Matt came over to Kurt and Mary's for dinner. It was so fun to see those girls again too. We laughed until we cried remembering all the crazy things we did in college. It was also great to talk about life now and see where God has led us. Jackie is having a baby in June so it was great to see her baby tummy and talk about how their life will soon change!


Molly and I just being goofy....


Molly, me, Jackie, and Mary....we had 3 cameras going at one time so there weren't any pictures that had us all looking at the camera. This one will have to do.

On Sunday morning we also got to see our friend Joel who moved out to Denver to go to Denver Seminary last fall. I got to chat with him a few minutes and he and Kevin went out to breakfast together to have some guy time. We were glad we were able to see him too. I didn't get any pictures of Joel though, sorry man!




This is the closest Ethan got to Andrew all weekend. He has this odd phobia of other children that are younger than him. Although he loves to talk about babies and see them from a distance, he wasn't too sure about playing "with" Andrew. At the end of the weekend Mary said she was glad he kept his distance though, hopefully that helped prevent the spread of his germs!




We had to grab a quick picture before we flew out. Ethan was happy to hug Andrew then, I think it was because he knew we were leaving:)

Thanks for an awesome weekend Kurt and Mary! Let's do it again!
