1-Year Old!!!

Well, we finally made it to a year! Time has flown by SO fast, and so much has changed in the past year. We celebrated the big day with family and friends, and Lucy had lots of fun. Thanks to everyone who came!

With cousin Kennedy

Aww. She is so freakin cute.

In other big family news... Lucy has a new cousin, seen above! Baby Carter was born October 29, and we are so happy he is finally here. He is a little sweetie pie, and looks just like his daddy Jeff! Congrats to Ginger and Jeff on their beautiful little man.

The past 2 months (since our last update) have been lots of fun. First we had a visit from Rich, Claudia, and Axel, which was a blast! As expected, Lucy and Axel re-kindled their dramatic relationship...

In October, we took a fabulous trip out to California to visit family and friends, to celebrate our friends' Curtis and Kristie's wedding, and to go to a 3-day Phish Halloween Festival in Indio. We had such an incredible trip, but here are just a few of the highlights...

On Halloween, we were Ace and Gary, the Ambiguously Gay Duo from Saturday Night Live

Now back in Colorado, we are enjoying the early winter at the new house. We have both gone skiing already and are looking forward to spending the holidays here for the first time (and hoping for my first White Christmas). We hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

I'll leave you with a few last pics from around the house...
