Then and Now

We took some more pictures last night of Miles and I just had to do a
"then and now" on this one:

The first picture is Miles as a newborn in his swing for the first time. The second one is Miles when he crawled into his partially folded up swing all by himself last night.

Sold!!

The papers are signed......as of yesterday afternoon, we are officially "Under Contract" on our house. We had a great offer, but unfortunately it came with a quick move-out date. We will be heading to Florida in two and a half weeks. I can't believe it took nine weeks to sell our home and now we get nineteen days to get out. The next couple of weeks are going to be a blur of packing supplies, phone calls and moments of panic, but at least we are on our way. As much as we are ready to go, it is going to be hard to say goodbye to the friends and places we have gotten so attached to in Colorado for the past ten years.

Colorado Springs will always hold a special place in our hearts for the many doors it has opened to us along our journey as a couple. I don't think that when we drove that little white VW Fox across the country ten years ago, we could have imagined our lives the way they are today and as I return to Florida, to live, for the first time in sixteen years I bring all those memories back home again to start life "anew". Without the events of this past year, our lives would have taken a very different turn. It continues to amaze me how quickly things can change and how fast time passes us by. We owe a lot to this little town we have called home for such a long time and Miles will forever be our precious keepsake from that special place we spent a decade of our lives together.

Video Game Dancing

Here's a video clip of Miles and Kira playing a dancing video game at Chuck E Cheese. Obviously Miles was more in the way than he was good at the game, but he couldn't wait to try the game after seeing everyone play it all night.


Chuck E Cheese


On Sunday Chris and I decided to take in a movie. We asked Miles' friend Kira to babysit for us. With the help of her dad, Kira and Miles had such a good time he didn't even miss us. To thank them for doing such a great job, we took everyone out to Chuck E Cheese's. It was Miles first time and the restaurant was conveniently divided into preschool games/rides and big kid games on the other side. He rode all the rides several times and even got to play a driving game and air hockey with some help of course. At the end of the day we came home and I started packing away some of Miles' "baby" clothes. He was pretty pooped, but still found the energy to play dress up.


Here we go!
