Colorado Visit

We've arrived in Colorado for our visit with Mom during her Spring Break. Damian leaves tonight, but Avery and I will stay through Friday. The flight out here was excellent. Avery slept through boarding, take-off, the entire flight, and landing. She's getting to be a pro at this flying thing!


We've been busy introducing Avery to various friends and family in the past few days. Friday, we went over to Mom's school (after the kids had left - I didn't exactly want a swarm of fourth graders descending upon the adorable Avery with their germiness). Avery got to meet several of Mom's friends and colleagues. We went to dinner that night and happened to run into another set of her colleagues, so Avery has met many people in her short stay here.


Yesterday was Avery's introduction to Uncle Collin and Aunt Denise at their home in Cheyenne, Wyoming. Aunt Denise will deliver Avery's cousin, to be named Dylan, sometime in June, making him about 6 months younger than Avery. The whole family is looking forward to introducing the two cousins at our annual family reunion at Labor Day in September.
