A busy and productive weekend!

Nick and I received an email Friday afternoon from his sister, Anne Marie, letting us know she was in Denver for the weekend. So, we quickly packed our bags after school on Friday, asked our neighbors to watch the dogs, and headed down to Denver for the weekend. We arrived at Luke and Jodi's house in Highlands Ranch about 830 on Friday night. They were out of town, so we set up Cayle's pack-and-play, put him to bed, and headed off to bed ourselves.

We got up early Saturday morning and drove to Golden to pick up Anne Marie and head out for a yummy breakfast at IHOP. We had a good time chatting and visiting with her! After we dropped Anne Marie off, we went to a bike store in Aurora to pick up a bike for Nick's dad. Cayle had an awesome time riding the bikes there. We're pretty sure Santa is going to have to get him a Stryder for Christmas!
We also got new tires and stopped at the mall for some things we had been waiting to get: a new baby book, some new jeans for Nick, and some safety door locks to keep Cayle from getting in certain places. Saturday night was spent with Luke, Jodi, and Nathan once they got back from the airport. Cayle and Nathan had lots of fun playing together!

This morning we got up and had breakfast and let the boys play together a bit before heading back home. Good thing we got new tires - we had a chance to try them out today in a winter storm. It's good to get lots of things taken care of, but it's also good to be home :)

This is our last week of work before Thanksgiving break. Nick has three basketball games this week, so it will be busy. But once the week is over, we will have 9 wonderful days off work!
