Colorado dreamin'

Just uploaded my pictures of great times in Colorado and thankfully Paige already helped me out with more photos of family and friends. We had a great time hanging with the old gang-it's been seven years since we moved!!! Paige and Kyle were outstanding hosts in their beautiful house, Brooke, Mike and Mavis shared their birthday celebration while we were there and catching up with Ellen and Jarrod about their travels was awesome. It always feels like home in Colorado. We showed Cody and Sienna where we got married in Boulder. Then went to the Hill (where CU students are) and I realized how much older I am compared to the girls in their super short skirts. We had fun at the Denver Zoo and got in the ol favorite Thai Basil for dinner on Friday. Both kids did great on the flight out. The flight back both Sienna and I were a little off-she a little fussy, me super head cold, but all in all it was fine and a great trip. I'm already looking forward to coming back in July. One of Mike's friends said we should stay longer and of course we'd love to- we were talking about how it would be great to spend a week there and be able to go to the mountains, spend time with the gang and also meet up with other old friends and see Greg's professor. So much fun to had and so many more trips to be planned.

Sienna will be three months old tomorrow! She's a great girl- loves to talk and grab things. She's a good sleeper and she loves looking at people's silly faces-especially her big bro's. Sienna and I have been busy evolving the back room to become her room/guest room. We got a new desk, curtains and rearranged furniture and pictures. We also have been doing yoga and baby boot camp together. You gotta love the one picture of Sienna where she has total Greg face, otherwise I think she might have a little me in her. There's also a picture of her at her doc visit. She did great and is a total Gaynor girl baby- aka huge in the weight department. I'm so happy to have this time to hang and bond with her. She's fell into an awesome routine. We wake and help get Cody off to school. Cody often gives her the Poly Vitamin drops. Then I give her massage and do yoga while I pump. Then nap in her crib. Then outside walk to Whole Foods or we've been meeting up with a new friend and her baby daughter at the reservoir. Hopefully bestie baby Lucy will attend Shirley's with her in the fall. Then in the afternoons we've tried to prep some yummy dinners (I cooked fish myself for the first time with rave reviews!) and inbetween we've been looking at houses-though the market here is absolutely, positively crazy! Thankfully we really still like the house we're renting now.

Cody ripped it skiing in Tahoe like a champ. The snow was the best ever. With a little nanny help, Greg and I got in two awesome days and took Cody out both mornings then a third day of fun skiing and sledding too. The Tahoe Seasons Resort was a great family place to stay slopeside. We'll be back. Easter was fun too. We had a little brunch with our neighbors and the kids did a hunt. We also realized there is a capacity for Cody and chocolate and we pushed it a little bit too far-whoops! Lesson learned :)  The whole family has joined the Y and together we can swim (not Sienna yet-there's free child watch.)  It feels good to get back into shape. I've been working with a trainer there and this summer there's lots of fun activities for Cody. He'll start back with swim lessons in May too. Cody has been super cute parroting me as a mommy to Sienna. He does everything I do with his baby Diego. It's pretty sweet. He's totally in the why phase and is curious about everything. We've had lots of fun on our mommy field trip weekly dates when I've pulled him out of daycare. This month it's Thursdays and this Thursday we'll meet up with some friends at Curiodyssey. Hopefully they'll still be selling the cool mobiles for Sienna's room.

Well taxes are almost done. The new desk is almost complete. Grad school is almost over for this semester. Sadly so is maternity leave, but we've finalized great care for Sienna when I go back to work. With a combination or Greg, grandparents, Gilead's nanny service and my co op friend Sienna will be loved and cared for during the day until school's out of summer. Then the real fun starts! We'll be visiting everyone and camping and going to Hawaii. And sometime in all of this I'll know what I'm doing in the fall. Hopefully it's the same gig, but we're waiting on funding to be finalized.
