The last couple of weeks, we have had a lot of fun visiting with our kids and their families. We first visited with Matthew and Katie in Colorado Springs. We enjoyed seeing Garden of the Gods, buying fudge, having a picnic lunch in the mountains, and shopping for baby things with them. Thank you, Matthew and Katie for the special time. Then we enjoyed having Stephanie and her two boys meet us at Matthews and doing fun things with them in Colorado Springs such as the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. We had a great time. Eric and Joy dropped in while in route to Florida. They had a layover in Colorado Springs at the airport which is also the airport on the base Matthew and Katie live. Since it was Rick's birthday, Katie and Matthew planned a special birthday lunch and strawberry shortcake. It was a nice birthday present for Rick. Thanks guys for everything. We also got to see Sharalyn and her beautiful new home in Denver. We brought Stephanie, Noah and Cooper back to Nebraska with us. Unfortunately, the boys were sick for a while and we were stuck at home for several days but it was fun having her here. I really miss having her around to go shopping with or to go see girl flicks. We did have fun doing some planning and redecorating of mom and dad's home. She gave mom some great tips and tried to convince Dad to get rid of some stuff (took a little convincing). Thanks Stephanie for coming to visit us. We took Stephanie, Noah and Cooper home. They were so good in the car. We hardly heard a sound out of them. We were able to visit Eric and Joy and see their cute apartment. We went with them to a restaurant called, "Hard Hat" that had a construction theme to it. Good Prime Rib. Also, thanks to Faye for letting us stay in her home. We miss and love you all.
