colorado trip

after a long illness, my grandmother passed away and so sully and i (and later, ryan) flew out to colorado to be with the family. i had forgotten how much i love colorado in the summer; the heat, the afternoon thunderstorms, the cottonwoods in their full, green splendor.

sully proved to exactly what the doctor ordered to raise everyone's spirits. he is pure joy, packaged in the body of an active, wiggly, chatty 10-month old baby.


my parents bought him some toys, but of course his favorite thing was tupperware.

ryan and i were thinking he wouldn't be as opposed to my parents grass because it is a much softer variety than what we had in our yard, but no, he wanted as little of his body touching it as possible.

we lowered the temperature in the hot tub to 93 degrees and sullivan loved it. he sat in the little turtle innertube and kicked his way around, and loved splashing. he could have stayed in there forever and was MAD when it was time to get out.

all though the purpose for our trip was sad, it turned out to be a really lovely visit. hopefully we can get out to colorado in the summer more often. :)
