Happy 4th Birthday Garret Quinn

We are celebrating Garret's birthday in Albuquerque this year. He had a birthday party with friends at Monkey Bizness before we left Colorado, then we had a little celebration on Easter with the Olson's, Falde's and Adams'. Today we took birthday pictures at Portrait Innovations, played at Umpa's house, and then we are off to Itz - an amped up Chucky Cheese. I'd say G's had a pretty good chance to celebrate his big day!

1 Year Anniversary

This weekend marked the one year anniversary of our move to Colorado. What a year it has been! There were houses bought and sold. We took many small adventures to Beaver Creek, Steamboat Springs, Copper Mountain, Keystone, and Breckenridge. We attended family and friend weddings (and a funeral - we love you Pops) & associated trips to Seattle, Sacramento, Baltimore/DC. There was white water rafting, skiing, alpine slides, fishing, hiking, snowshoeing, sledding, pro baseball, hockey, basketball, soccer, and football games... 4 more birthdays... We taught Garret to ride a bike, play soccer, and ski. We taught Owen how to walk. We were blessed with many visits from both family and friends (hope the arm is healing well, Tim) and have thousands of pictures to prove it. We are beginning the first of many home improvements. I ran the Denver 1/2 Marathon. I helped manage the construction of a 29 story condominium tower (we topped out the structure on Saturday - see picture below) and took multiple work trips to Oklahoma City, Minneapolis, and Phoenix. And there were a million other great things that happened throughout the year. Next year will prove to be even better - with more skiing, more home improvements, more athleticism (full marathon, 195 mile relay race, and hopefully a gym membership), and more wonderful adventures and experiences with the boys. As always, everyone is welcome to join us. Let us know!
