We went on a fun little romantic getaway to Wolf Creek, CO this weekend, and it was really wonderful! We had 13 hours in the car on the way there to finally talk without someone saying, "Look Mommy ...." Then the weather was perfect for a day of snowboarding, which I was actually able to completely enjoy for the first time in 3 years. I have been either pregnant or nursing for the last few ski trips! Then we went to Durango, where it snowed big, beautiful flakes while we shopped and ate. Then, on Monday, when we were supposed to leave at 6:00am, we woke up to over a foot of new snow. So, we spent the morning watching the snowplow and helping to shovel snow and finally left at noon for a harrowing drive down hwy84. We finally made it home Tuesday at 3:30pm. So, we had another long while to talk without anyone interrupting! It was really quite perfect.

The babies had a fun time with both sets of Grandparents while we were gone. They stayed with Mimi and Poppy the first half of the weekend and Grandmama and Pops the second half. Based on Walker's report, they ate donuts, rode tricycles, and watched cooking. I'm sure more occured than that, but that seems to be what stuck with him!

A word of encouragement to Lyndsay Walker -- the terrible twos seem to fade as 2 1/2 approaches, and, as the baby gets a little bigger, it is easier for the older one to love her without hurting her! I can actually leave them alone in a room together for a minute now! See, Walker is even taking care of some sort of ailment in this pic!
