All Work and Some Play

So, between study days, business trips, and vacation days, this was my first full week at work since early February! Needless to say, it was a productive week. I accidentally deleted the few pictures we took this week, so in order to make it a little less boring, I'm going to a bullet format.

So here are the highlights of the week.

• Weather: Nothing says late spring/ early summer in Colorado quite like crazy weather. Hail storms, thunderstorms and rain here in Castle Rock. Funnel clouds and tornadoes relatively close.
• Strawberries: We picked a lot, we ate a lot, more to come.
• Brooke's mobility: She has started to 'cruise', meaning she is pulling herself up and moving around couches, coffee tables, etc. She is also comfortable moving up and down the stairs, and likes to sneak up to the landing when Mom isn't looking.
• Flower bed: We finished the second one on the other side of the deck.
• Chinese food: We went to our favorite Chinese restaurant in Denver to satisfy Tracie's week long craving for Chinese ever since she flipped through a noodle recipe book that she checked out from the library.
• Visitors: Dave and Bri stopped by on Saturday on their way to Kentucky for ortho school. Their stay was short, but eventful. Without too much gory details, let's just say that the evening included someone peeing on the deck, dumping Lexie's food into her water, and some projectile vomiting! Despite all that, it was fun having them stop by, and we'll see them again in a couple of years!
