Visit from Spencer's NY Family

We had a terrific visit with our family in from New York. The whole clan made it out and it was so much fun watching Simon and Kayli meet their new little cousin. We also celebrated mom's 60th birthday when she was out here. Happy birthday, mom!! We had wonderful weather and even made it out to the Denver Zoo one day. Barkley also made a new buddy after Simon warmed up to his friend the dog (or cat, as Simon called B.) and the dog loved playing with Kayli.

Spencer starts school (aka daycare) this Monday. He met his new friends and teachers, Ms. Catherine and Ms. Valerie, who both look forward to Spencer joining their class. Right now there are only three other kids in the Infant one room (usually there are eight total) so Spencer will get a lot of attention! This works out well since lately Spencer decided he likes constant attention from mom and dad - he gets a little grumpy if we put him in his bouncy chair and don't stay and talk with him.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We missed all of our families but we enjoyed staying in Denver and spending time with Spencer. It seems like life moves so quickly and Jon and I do not get a lot of time with just the three of us (and Barkley!). Yesterday we enjoyed the gloomy day here by cleaning our house - Jon found a mouse in our pantry so we had to do a major cleaning job. Today it is finally sunny (although not particularly warm) so we are getting ready for a walk in the park.

Have a great weekend!
