So I'm back and semi-recovered from a long weekend..a very long weekend. The girls and I got to Denver around four on Friday and checked into the hotel, bathed, and changed clothes then headed to the mall. I love shopping in big cities!!! There are so many choices and so much variety its a shop-a-holics heaven lol. The girls love walking the mall and flirting with all the people they meet. After the mall we headed to Olive Garden where we had to wait over an hour for a table. Now what possesed me to sit and wait with three children for an hour I don't know. I think I was too tired to load them back in the car and try to find somewhere else to go and at the time I definitely was not in the mood for Chuck E Cheese. The girls were so good I was amazed. I was so proud of them...even the manager came out to say that she thought they were the best behaved kids in the resteraunt that night and even gave me a discount off our meal.
On Saturday we went shopping again and then I decided to give in and take them to Chuck E Cheese. The kids again were good, but tired so we didn't stay long which was no problem for me. My friend was coming to Denver to pick up her cousin from the airport Saturday night, but got a flat tire and wasn't going to make it, so I took the kids to go pick up my friends' cousin.
So I had to get the kids out of the bath in some clothes and drive in the middle of a rainstorm to the airport find parking...load the kids into the stroller and brave the Denver airport. I don't know how many of you have flown into or out of the Denver airport, but it is huge and then trying to find someone you've never met in swarms of people with three cranky tired kids...not fun. Needless to say we did find her and made it back safely.
Sunday was church and the zoo, which of course had to be crowded to the limit and I didn't get to take the pictures that I wanted to. I was pretty disappointed. The kids had fun though and it was amazing to see how big the girls have gotten since November. I will post pictures soon.
We use our hands for everything from work to play to showing love and affection to comfort we use them to talk to protect and to illustrate.
These are random pictures I've taken over the year. The top one is of my friends son when he was around eight months old. The second picture is of my god-daughter Teyha digging into her cake on her first birthday.
The above picture is another friends daughter down by the river in our city. The two pictures below I took over the summer at various gardens.
This is a picture of two little girls I used to babysit...I love their little fingers in contrast to the chain on the tire swing. It reminds me of how tiny they really were.
I like this picture just because of all that it represents to me. The color contrast and if you dig deeper...this picture would not have existed many years ago.
