Birthday Cake!

Children's Museum for D-man's Birthday

Great Weekend!

Whew - we were busy this weekend. On Friday night, we had friends over for dinner and some cards. Unfortunately, per the usual, Mary and I lost. However, we are always determined to try again. We always have a great time when we hang out with them.

On Saturday, Drake and I met a girlfriend and her son (who moved to California) downtown at Chili's for lunch. My girlfriend's son is a month older than Drake and they had a good time imitating each other and chowing down. It was so great to catch up with my friend - we miss having them in Denver.

On Saturday night, we headed over to the Highlands to hang out with friends from Vail and Denver.  We had yummy take out Italian, played Dominoes, had Glugg and brownies. Thanks to our friend for sharing her Glugg that she worked so hard to bring from Sweden.

We headed back to the our friends house for brunch Sunday morning. We had a great casserole and we had Swedish caviar, toast, and bacon. After brunch, Marshall, D-man, and I headed to the Children's Museum to celebrate D-man's 1st birthday. I'm not sure who had more fun - Marshall or D-man. :) What a great weekend!

On the Mend

Well, D-man is finally on the mend after having a cold, a stomach bug, and then an ear ache. We're happy to have "the old D-man" back! He laid in the stroller, our arms, or his crib for 3 days. When he gets all of the illnesses at once, it is hard to know which ailment is bugging him. So, he was getting worse, but we thought it was just the stomach flu hanging on when it was actually the ear infection. Anyway, he was much better today. Thank goodness! We need him better for his 1st birthday! :)

January 2005

Well, I am going to try and get better about posting to our blog and also posting some pictures. We've spent the weekend at home with D-man who is suffering from the flu. We were supposed to meet my family in North Platte to celebrates his 1st birthday. Unfortunately, D-man's illness kept us at home. The good news is that the weather was great and we took a couple great walks which D-man enjoyed. We also stopped at the park and D-man got to go on the swings.

The month has just flown by. It started off with take out sushi and a night in for Marshall and me on New Year's eve. It was perfect as we hadn't spent time alone in a couple of weeks. D-man is also starting to cruise around on 2 legs these days. He's starting to walk on his own - even without mom and dad persuading him to walk! Childproofing will take on a new dimension now....

Christmas 2004

The holiday season was a busy one for all of us. We hosted the entire Peavy family here for D-man's 1st Christmas. Bob taught D-man to go down the stairs backwards, but he just wasn't quite ready to start walking. As usual, Claudia cooked a great Christmas turkey with all the fixin's. Marshall took off the week to enjoy it with his parents. It was a great holiday.

D'man and I spent the week between Christmas and New Year's in Pender with my family. He was a great traveler and it was nice to be "home" for Christmas. Jaima, Jacki, mom and I went shopping in Sioux City one day and the other days were just spent enjoying our time together and being with family.
