Colorado Mountains

We headed to Copper with our friends Ann and Lawrence for the weekend. We left Eme behind with Papa and Grandma to give some attention to the big ones. It was a fun filled weekend of touring Leadville, spending time at Turquoise Lake, visiting a fish hatchery, girls doing flips on the bungee trampoline (go Sophia who learned first and Malina with her double flips!), go carting, wandering the farmers market in Vail and relaxing with friends. It was a beautiful weekend in every regard.
Sophia (4-years old)
Jumping off the diving board!
She bonds us all.
The best cook in the kitchen.
Stubborn, persistent, creative and so stinking cute!
Eme's (2-years old next month)
Favorite phrase: "Get up. COME!" while he is pushing under your bum and tapping his chest with his hand.
Every vehicle is a fire truck.
Loves to sing A,B,C's, kick balls and hit balls with the tennis racket.
Strong willed, affectionate and endearing!

Malina (6 1/2-years old)
Discovered Magic Tree House books and loves to curl up at the pool reading her books under a tree.
Sports that require balls: tennis, golf and soccer!
Independent, smart and a beauty inside/out!

Banks
Outside staining his Maldives dhoni (boat) tree house tonight. Building in progress. Good afterwork therapy!
Resident breakfast chef. He is so sweet to have breakfast waiting for me when I return from boot camp.

Me
I am loving boot camp. I am addicted. I am definitely becoming the healthiest in my life.
Also, I am enjoying the relaxed summer with our children!! Watching the bond between them grow each day is beautiful. When we all sat down for dinner tonight, Malina looked at me and said "Mommy I see you have happy tears." They hadn't fallen from my eyes but she knew I was feeling blessed for everyone sitting at the table.
