We had a great trip to Colorado - Brennan did well on the flight from SF, and I had enough time to get coffee before I had to get in the cab. After picking up our giant rental car (Yukon), we made the short drive to Boulder to see our friends, the (sorely missed) Dukes. It was so nice to see John, Suzanne, and Audrey again - they used to be walking distance from our place - and to have a chance to get to know little Grace better. They have a lovely place in Boulder - the deer agree - and Brennan thinks it's the nicest refrigerator he's ever seen. Anyway, he had a great time playing with Grace, and as soon as I sort through the video, I'll try to post a little clip of them in action.
We hated to leave, but we had important plans in Beaver Creek - a wedding! My cousin Kevin somehow managed to convince someone to marry him. This was my first chance to meet Kelly, and she is so beautiful and sweet I'm pretty sure there was some sort of Jedi Mind Trick involved - these are not the droids you're looking for, Kelly, and hey, by the way, we're getting married in September. While Mr. Chubbles did not attend all the wedding festivities - past his bedtime - he did get the opportunity to show off his new walking skills and torment Gangi Mary, Great Grandma Doris, and Bill with his new crabby toddler routine. As you can see in the last photo, it's still a work in progress, as he somehow let a smile get away from him...
Then, at the Denver Airport, he got a job:
We had a great trip, but traveling can take a lot out of you, especially when you're one (or when you're 38.) Luckily, when you go to Colorado you can blame a variety of ills on "the altitude". As in, Wow, I feel pretty loopy after drinking that glass of wine in the hot tub, must be the altitude; or, Usually he loves to let people hold him, must be the altitude. Bren's doing his best to get his rest, we've got more travels coming up next month -
