It has been a while since I wrote anything in the blog.
I guess I have been pretty busy with work and everything else going on.
Morhéa is getting bigger by the day.
She is a little girl for sure.
No longer our little baby!
It is amazing to see her develop.
Last night she was jumping on the bed singing as loud as she could.
She was even free styling lyrics to songs.
She was rhyming words and dancing like a superstar or the dreaded Hannah Montana.
In fact most of the words she was using had to do with Hannah Montana and the Jonas Brothers.
Morhéa started taking gymnastics again but this time we signed her up at a real gymnastics center. It is pretty cool there. They have everything a gymnast would want. They even have babysitting on Friday nights!
Halloween has been crazy and it hasn’t even come yet. I think Morhéa has been to about 4 or 5 parties or events for Halloween already. Kim is losing it because Morhéa’s Cinderella costume has to be hand washed and she seems to get very dirty at every event. She also likes to eat about half of her candy as she goes trick or treating. That results in a grumpy, hyper, tired child by the end of the day. It will all culminate with an evening of trick or treating with her two of her friends from school.
What else has happened over the past 2 months? Aunt Stephanie came out for a girls weekend in Vail. The girls had a wonderful time in the mountains and enjoyed the last days of summer. I think it was Octoberfest in Vail so there was lots to do. We also went to the circus again this year which was a big hit. Other then $15 lemonades and $12 snow cones it was a fairly cheap night out. Kimberley also ran the Denver Marathon a few weeks ago. She had great weather and did a great job.
Cousin Ellie moved out to Denver and happens to live and work around the corner. She took a job as the department head of Geology at Red Rocks Community College. It sounds like it has all of the challenges of being a teacher and then some. Lucky for her, her cousin works at the USGS and can give out tours.
I got the chance to drive to Madison, WI last week for work which also gave me the opportunity to meet baby Parker. It was a crazy 2.5 days. We started our drive from Denver at around 4:00PM on Wednesday night. Of course it started raining as soon as we left. Of coarse the rain turned to snow about 3 hours later. We had 40 mph winds with tons of snow. Lucky for is it only lasted about 2 hours and then turned back into rain. We must of hit some a plateau or something in Nebraska. We made it to Omaha that night. We got a room and a few hours of sleep before hitting the road again. We were headed to the University of Wisconsin to meet some colleagues of ours that were making a sample for us so that we can further our knowledge of the makeup of Titan (a moon of Saturn). John and I ended up giving a 2 hour presentation to faculty and students of UofW about spectroscopy and Titan. As soon as I was done I ran off to meet Jeff, Heather and Parker. We went out for Italian. Parker was an angel! It seems like so long ago that Morhéa was that small. After dinner we headed back to Jeff’s house and relaxed for the rest of the night. The next morning we left Madison and drove all the way back to Denver.
Halloween has come and gone since I started writing this and it was crazy. The girls had a blast and got tons of candy. It reminded me of when I was a kid and my grandmother’s house where we got bags full of candy. The next day was followed by gymnastics and then Morgan’s birthday party.
While we barely got out of the 50’s 2 weeks ago this past week we were in the 70’s all week. Today it got up into the high 70’s. We took the opportunity to go for a hike. It was a wonderful day. We are looking forward to the holidays. Grammy and Grandpa are coming out for Thanksgiving.
