What a Special Weekend!

It was a special weekend...awhile ago :) The little Internet access we do have at the cottage on occasion is not strong enough to support updates on the blog, so I wanted to share these pictures with you even though it was mid September when it happened. Heidi, one of my dearest friends from college had business in Denver so she came up to Boulder to visit for the weekend. It was so great to catch up and to experience that although our lives and circumstances have changed our hearts are still so connected. In addition to Heidi visiting, my Mom decided to take a spontaneous trip so that she could hang out with Isaiah. It was kind of fun pretending that she doesn't live over 1000 miles away, "sure Mom, come for the weekend." The cutest part was that in the morning when we all woke up, I brought Isaiah into the living room to see Grammy and he knew her right away! He gave her big snuggles and acted like he'd just seen her the day before. It was truly priceless. This picture is Isaiah and Grammy together at the Walnut Cafe, a fun place to get breakfast in town.

Very opposite what this picture may lead you to believe, Isaiah LOVED Heidi. The minute I introduced them, he leaned her direction with his arms outstretched and gave her a huge hug. I'd never seen him do that before with someone he'd just met. Again, another priceless moment. He was just too squirmy to sit still for a picture :)

Here are Karin, Heidi and I posing for probably the 15,000th picture of our lives knowing each other. We shook our heads in amazement as we remembered what it was like to meet for the first time when we were 18! And that is why we feel so blessed. We still love, encourage and give life to each other after 11 years...beautiful!
