Zach's Baby Blanket

We have this wonderful tradition in our family where Nana (my mom) lets us pick out the fabric of our choice and she makes a baby blanket - complete with embroidered squares - and a coordinating diaper bag for the new baby! So today was that day and we went to this wonderful little quilt shop and they had really cute Amy Butler fabric and I found the perfect combination!

Dinner at Culvers

Lately, Mike has been craving Culvers cheeseburgers so we end up going there once a week. We all get the Scoopie Meals so we can save up the tickets to buy Culvers stuff :) and then we can get ice cream. It's just fun! :) I was able to take some pictures this time and since it's something that we do on a pretty regular basis, I figured I should document it! :) Too funny!

Last Day...

This week went by just as I hoped it would - not too fast, not too slow - just right! I am currently sitting at Starbucks waiting for Mike to get done with class and just enjoying the smell of coffee and the relaxation of blogging! Too much fun! Checked out of our hotel just now and we have about 4 hours before we have to be at the airport so we get to walk up and down 16th Street Mall and get some souveneirs and eat at Anatoli's. This is going to be the perfect afternoon because its already 50 degrees, with not a cloud in the sky!!! And tonight, I get to hug and kiss my babies! I can't wait!

Sicker Than a Dog

Oh my! I didn't think that this congestion was going to turn into this but it was awful last night! I felt so bad for Mike because I could not go to sleep, could not get comfortable, could not stop reaching for the kleenex and could not stop getting a drink of water. I could not have been a worse sleep partner last night! I ended up on the floor so that my tossing and turning wouldn't keep waking him up and thankfully that didn't wreck my back.....although I was convinced that it would. But what a nice morning to be able to sleep in until 11, then take a bath, then slowly get ready and then head out to explore. Just magical! :) I miss my boys tho! I kept having these dreams about them, that they were with me and how were we going to go shopping today without a stroller.....so funny! :) I'm too much a mom now, I think! :)

So.......I had a fantastic club sandwich at Jason's Deli (never been there), got a gourmet cupcake from Mermaids Bakery and Pie Shoppe (never been there), picked up some naughty cold medicine that I'm not sure that I should really be taking from Walgreens (been there too many times already) and now I'm at Starbucks drinking a white mocha with a shot of caramel and blogging away! How much more relaxing could this be? :) I truly am in wife heaven!

We Are Here!

Well, the flight went very very well! So thankful for a good pilot! And I sat next to a colonel in the air force who was very jittery and kept reviewing his itinerary every 5 minutes. Try that for an hour and a half. I didn't know if he was going to be able to make it! Between him shaking his leg and Mike shaking his legs, my sanity barely stayed in tact. :)

The hotel is really funky but very nice and right down town. We are about 2 blocks from 16th Street Mall which is very similar to Nicollet so I feel right at home. Not as many shopping choices as Nicollet but still very fun! Very excited to explore and see what I find in the coming days. :)

I am battling a cold and the more I think about it the more I think that it might be allergies but not very sure at all......hopefully I can take some medicine for this congestion and be done with it sooner rather than later.

The boys will be with Grandma and Grandpa Henderson for the rest of the night and then Nana will be there bright and early tomorrow morning to spend all day Tuesday and Wednesday with them. I'm so thankful for wonderful wonderful parents!

Oh, did I mention that it's 73 degrees? Loving it!

Denver Here We Come

I can't believe that this week is finally here! I've been waiting for what seems like forever for it to arrive and thought it would be just a little longer but wow, it came fast! What a sweet treat that our family is giving us by being with our boys and allowing us to take this trip together! There's quite a schedule for this week but between our parents, Erica and Jessica every minute is covered and they will be with family the entire time and probably having too much fun!

We didn't tell Taylor anything about the trip because he's old enough to understand that if we leave, there is a possibility that he can come too so we just thought we would leave all that conversation out of the equation. But boy did he understand really quick when we were packing this morning. I felt so bad because he immediately asked Mike if he could come too and all the crying started. But.....we are staying in touch with Skype so hopefully that will help with all the homesickness on our end and their missing us on that end.

Not quite sure about this plane ride coming up but God is with me! :)
