Jack Turns 6 Months and Andrea Turns 40!

It is hard for us to believe that Jack is already over six months old, but probably even more difficult to comprehend that Andrea is now 40! With life so full of joys, it seems 40 is the way to go. No blues whatsoever were experienced. For the actual day, Andrea's good friends from teaching in Ecuador--Emily, Margie, and Aimee--flew in from all parts of the U.S. for a weekend of playing cowboy, a visit to New Belgium, hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park, and just plain good girl time. The family celebration took place a couple of weeks later with a spectacular getaway to Beaver Creek/Vail, where the Aspens were bright gold, the village of Beaver Creek charming, and the trails full of breathtaking views. Our "boutique" lodge was luxurious in every way, and the perfect place to relax. Mark even got Andrea a massage at the spa! Jack also enjoyed this family getaway, and has requested an annual adventure for his mom's birthday and his half year celebration.
