Colorado 2011 Visit

Right after Elyse's first birthday (pictures still to come) we hopped on a plane to visit Tara and Nick in Colorado with Nonni.  It was amazing weather in Aspen and we really enjoyed the pretty scenery, shopping, food, and spending time with Tara and Nick.

Luckily for us Elyse was in a super good mood to pose for many pictures!

My Favorite!  Tara says she is thinking "I'm going to climb that mountain someday."  Not if I have anything to do with it :).

All bundled up and looking stylish.

Happy Birthday Elyse!

You are the laughter that fills our house, the snuggle that calms our minds, the mess that makes our house a home, the accomplishment that fills our hearts with pride, the noise that fills the quiet room, the chase that makes us run around with smiles, the reach that gives us purpose, the wild that gives us energy, the hug that washes all worry away, the calm that reminds us to just breathe, the cry that nurtures our hearts, the dream that came true, the best parts of both of us, the reminder of our love, the window to our souls, the completion of our family....

You made us the best versions of US.

You are our daughter!

 

Happy Birthday to the greatest thing that ever happened to us!
