Nadia has needed a hoodie for the last couple of days since it’s pretending to be fall here in Texas. She hates things on her head, but seems to accept the hoodie since it attached to her clothes. The Santa Clara Hoodie is from Aunt Michelle, the WVU Hoodie is from Kim and the Bear Hoodie we bought. TOO CUTE!

I just wanted to let everyone know that Sandi and Hannah we allowed to attend the swearing in ceremony and will be headed home ASAP. Her agency has stated that her senator, congressman assisted and Sec. of State Condoleezza Rice stepped in to get this taken care of. Praise God!

But I ask you to continue to pray for them as there is great joy in the fact that she gets to bring Hannah home, but wrapped in the heartache of losing Dennis.

Video coming soon as we need to edit the little tidbits I have been able to catch in the last day or so. I thought I would put up a comparison shot for today. The first photo is from August 10th 2007 when her highchair was just too darn big and she wasn’t too stable with the sitting up thing. The other is from today, the first time I put her back in the highchair to see how she fits. It’s still a little big and we will keep using the hippo chair, but I thought this would be fun.

Look at all that hair she has now and how much fatter those cute little cheeks have become. And of course she is about 2 inches taller. Love it!!

Okay this is the second part of the trip we took in October…we just had so much going on I had to do them as separate posts. We went to Denver to visit with our friends the Petermans who have been up there for about 3 years now. I miss Jessica dearly and so it was great to see their house and life in CO. We flew in on Saturday, and Sunday it snowed most of the day. So Nadia went from the beach in Santa Barbara on Friday to her first snow day on Sunday! On Monday we drove down to Colorado Springs and went to the Garden of the Gods and to the Cave of the Winds. We ate at a tasty place called ZIOS where Nadia scarfed down their mac and cheese like there was no tomorrow. And thanks to Randy for updating the blog…very handy for my posting. 🙂

Here are a few of my favorite photos, but click the one above to see the whole slide show.

Now check out these shots Mike got…the bird flying down and then sitting on the top of the rock. In person, if you blinked you would have missed it.
