A little light show before bed

 A few nights ago, we were walking home from our neighbor John's and we saw lightning all around us. Jeff got out his trusty camera and decided to document the amazing lightning storm that was headed towards our house.  I am extremely proud of Jeff for taking these pictures, as I have no clue how to set the camera to capture these images. Or have the nerve to stay outside under the porch while the ground was shaking.  I was inside the house holding Keagan and Hannah while the lightning was raining down on us.  That's the difference between moms and dads I guess :) 

Return to Work

Sleeping with Mr. Happy
Looking cute as always!

He can reach those toes!

Keagan and I are preparing for my big return to work in 2 days (9/11 of all days).  Due to some techincal difficulties with scheduling and me not returning full time, I managed to get an extra 6 weeks of maternity leave before I have to take the big plunge.  Needless to say, I am feeling nervous about leaving my little man but at least I know he will be in good hands with his dad.  There is milk in the fridge and the pacifier to help calm him down...so it can't be that bad can it?!?  I am sure I will be thinking of him all day and missing him, but I hope that it will be a good lesson for both of us in learning that he has many people he can count on to take care of him.   Wish us luck!

Red Rocks!




I am not sure where the last week went, but we have been preparing to go to the Zach Brown Band at Red Rocks Ampitheater on Labor Day. Jeff managed to score some tickets back in July which was no small feat as the concert was sold out in 15 minutes. Although we had numerous offers for baby sitting, we wanted to take the little man with us. And we were glad that we took him along as he seemed to really enjoy the concert. Not that he could actually hear it. We bought noise cancelling head phones and he wore them without any problems. Actually when we needed to do a diaper change in the bathroom and I took
them off, he looked at me like why do I need to hear all those doors slamming? I was a little worried about him wearing them as he hates having his hat on his head, but he seemed to understand the ear muffs were a good thing and didn't bother them at all. He was so content he slept through most of the concert, but when he did wake up he really enjoyed looking at all the people and lights at the concert. He even seemed to be dancing at one point. He never cried or fussed at the concert and we did not have to go with our emergency melt down plan at all. When we got home a little tired I remarked to Jeff that Keagan was definitely a good baby to go along with all of our plans this summer. Jeff's reply was that he wasn't a good baby, he is a great baby. I have to agree :)
