Colorado Trip

On November 1, Brody left for his dreaded 3 week trip to Charlotte, NC for work training.  None us were looking forward to that long of an absence so I decided (ahead of time) that I would need a trip away to help us cope!

A trip to Colorado to see Jessie and Clara in their new home of Colorado Springs was the prefect solution.  Jessie moved over the summer to CO and they have a large house with plenty of room for visitors so we comfortably stayed with them for a week (we loved visiting in Chicago but I always felt bad for cramping them in their 2 bedroom apartment) 

The girls loved each other (most of the time) and Madeleine really became attached to Dustin.  I think she missed Brody desperately and needed some male attention! We had a few days of sunny and warm weather so we took advantage and made a trip to the zoo and played outside.  As the weather got cold (crazy cold snap-0 degrees for a high when we left), we visited a indoor trampoline gym (the girls were in heaven) ate delicious food together and visited some of the tourist attractions near by.  We had a relaxing week and let the girls just play a lot! I've never had so much free time...lol 
Jessie and I were even able to get manicures together and each of us took turns watching the girls so that we could go to appointments.  (hair and waxing)

We had so much fun and as always wish we lived closer!!


Garden of the Gods--she loved scaling the rocks


how she spent a lot of her time, on Dustin's lap
