Home Sweet Home

If home is where the heart is, then Colorado is my home. My beloved home. And boy did I miss it. The time had come to finally go back home. Last week, we spent a busy, awesome 7 days in Denver to introduce Mia to my side of the family. I would say she was a hit. The entire week was focused on Mia.

There was holding...

And more holding...

Lots of sleeping....

A little tummy time...

A dinner party...

Or two...

But the best moment of the week was this one:

with Great Grandma Vera

Totally worth the 12 hour drive.

Wild Weather

Growing up in Colorado, I learned to LOVE severe weather. I loved summer afternoons watching a big thunderstorm move through. Looking at the clouds to see the changes. Now that I am in Missouri, my idea of severe weather is completely changed. I was never nervous about storms, but here, they are a whole other animal.

The big difference is the storms come through at night. So they are much scarier.

Last night, we had a crazy thunderstorm move through. We even had to go to the basement for a few minutes during a brief tornado warning. Unfortunately, it was 11:00pm, so it made for little sleep last night.

The storm carried one heck of a lightening show. Before we headed to the basement, I captured some cool video. Check it out....

Worth the Weight

Okay...okay!

I have received several comments from readers who are missing Princess Mia. I PROMISE there are more pics to come. I have taken many great photos and video. Just takes time to compress...etc.
Stay tuned....
In fact, come back tomorrow for a special treat.

We have cows!

Ok, they are not ours. Our neighbors are borrowing our pasture for a while, because they have too many cows for their land. They will get nice and fat with our fresh crop of hay.

Apparently, they are a unique breed: Dexter beef cows.

Even babies!



This is as close as I will get. I will get too attached and cry when they leave for the inevitable.

But they are pretty! We feel like genuine country folk now :-)
