Christmas 2009

My parents drove out to CO for two weeks over the holidays. We had a great time together and enjoyed Christmas up in Silverthorne, CO at my brother & Regina's fabulous new townhouse.

John is 4!

We celebrated John's 4th birthday with a Superhero party. It was a blast. The party was on the 9th (John's birthday is the 7th) and he insisted that he wasn't 4 until he blew out the candles on his cake at the party. So, he is now officially 4.

Sammy & John Growing Up!

Here is a video of baby Sammy at 6 weeks. He is such a cutie!

Also, John learned to ride his bike with no training wheels this week! Here is a picture of him. I can't upload the video on the blog because it's too big, so I put it on YouTube. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5qcgGFp99Y

Sammy ~ First Month

Sammy is one month old today. He is huge and chubby and adorable! John makes it very clear that Sammy is 'cute', but he is 'cool & awesome.' The transition to having 2 kids has been a very challenging adjustment for me, but it seems we are finally getting in a groove and I am not feeling quite so overwhelmed (although, that can change by the moment)! :) I have added some more pictures of Sammy on Facebook -- here is the link to view the album: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=151405&id=627249049&l=1215e21b9f

Welcome to the world, Samuel David Huntoon!!

Samuel David Huntoon arrived into the world and our lives on August 26th at 7:56am!!! He is a sweet little guy and has already brought much joy to our family. John has been very affectionate toward Sammy, with a few 'less than gentle' pokes & squeezes, but that is to be expected. We are thrilled and thankful to have Sammy in our lives! Here are a few pictures from our first week with Sammy. If you use this link below, it will take you to an album that I put up on Facebook where you can see some more pictures.

CO summer fun!!

We are most certainly enjoying friends, water & the mountains this summer in CO!! :)

Curtis & Annie Miller, dear friends from Michigan who now live overseas, came for a weekend visit. Here we are on a hike to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain.

Our family on Sugarloaf.

Annie & I.

John has spent many hours at pools this summer with friends. Here he is with Olivia, showing their colorful tongues after enjoying 'ring suckers.'

Floating on noodles with Anna.

Ahhh, what is summer without a popcycle to end an evening?! Here John is with our neighbors, Cam & Owen, after they were riding their bikes around and around the cul-de-sac.

Oh, what would our weeks be without our Wednesday morning playdate with Isaiah and Natalie!?!? These boys adore each other!

Hiking with friends...lovely CO wildflowers.

The mamas on the hike.
