Weekend and more

Itching to get up into the mountains lately, I dragged the family up to Echo Lake, outside Idaho Springs, again.

This time, though, B. was on the outside.


One year ago, almost to the day. Some of you said it, but I was crazy to go hiking three-plus weeks before B. was born.



This year, B. happily strapped in the Baby Bjorn.
He still is quite a heavy sack o' potatoes.


My (latest) favorite family photo.


B.'s first encounter with aspen.


I knit him this hat early this year. He's already
growing out of the thing! Time for another.


The photos don't do it justice.


Another of my favorites from the day.


Oops. You can see my shadow in the bottom there.


Last week: B. loves the washing machine. We wash
diapers every other day, and he plops down in front
of the window, mesmerized by the colors and water.


A couple weeks ago: My friend from my old Pueblo job came
back to Colorado to see her family. Her boy M. had fun
showing B. the ropes. But B. didn't dare enter that log!


About a month ago: Keystone, crawling on the velvety smooth
practice green. Very little to get into, but lots of ground to cover.


Hopefully many, many more days like this to come.
