Choices

Color upon color
laughter touches
our days.
It's a simple thing
to reach beyond self.
Color upon color
each day
you build bridges...
it's your
clear choice-
to speak in rainbows...
not rain. (MARH)

May-Snow Showers?

Well, the end of May is upon us and still only a few good "summer" days. It keeps snowing-not enough to build a snowman-just enough to keep us off our bikes and out of the yard. We have gone on a few hikes, had a couple BBQs, played at the park,...We are just ready for the sunny days! I have high hopes for today! Today is the girls last day of school-they will be out all summer! We have lots of fun planned-Abby's birthday party is July 7th (she turns 3 on the 5th) We are having a Superman party (she is OBSESSED!) and then the girls are flying back with Joe's mom to Portland for a few weeks. Then to Bend to spend a week with Aunt Bre, Uncle Bri, and Cousin Will! Joe and I are gonna drive out and meet them in Bend-then back up to Portland before heading 'cross-country again. That is our big traveling plans for the summer-other than that-we are staying home and enjoying the long-awaited Colorado Summer with farmer's markets, street parties, BBQs, camping, hiking, swimming, climbing,...It should be a good summer. As soon as it stops SNOWING!!!!! ;)
