For my birthday I wanted to go on a family hike. Not a bad idea if my birthday was sometime between April and October….but it’s not, it’s at the end of December. And sometimes in Colorado the end of December can feel like April….but not this year. We have had one of the coldest Decembers…

Christmas Eve 2019…
We did things a little different than usual this year for Christmas Eve and it was kind of a decision in the 11th hour to do so. I love going to church on Christmas Eve, it is one of my favorite services every year, even though we’ve had some adventures during such services, like when…
Thanksgiving 2019….
As I sit in a fairly quiet ER this early Thanksgiving morning with my patients currently tucked in and I have a few minutes of quiet I have a chance to reflect on being thankful. I know I will gather this evening after hopefully a few hours of sleep with my family, my parents and…
Snow White and the 6 Dwarfs….
Snow White and her 6 Dwarfs overtook our family for Halloween. Everyone got to choose which dwarf they wanted to be, except Clint and I chose for him. The only one we didn’t have was Grumpy…although Caedmon did say “Mommy sometimes you are Grumpy.” To which I told him that for that comment I might…

An Autumn Hike….
Since we have Thursday evenings free and open we decided to head up to Rocky Mountain National Park and go for a hike to see the leaves changing. We got there late enough in the afternoon that many people were headed out so we were able to park at the Bear Lake trailhead. We decided…
Change In Plans…
A couple of weeks ago on a Tuesday we were suppose to go on a field trip with the little’s preschool class to Miller Farms where the kids can pick vegetables and explore the farm but we woke up that morning to rain and temps in the 40s and so needless to say the field…

On Sunday we decided to hike Horsetooth Rock. It is close to our church and it was going to be part of our family celebration for completing and paying off my med school loan. We packed our lunches to eat in the car on the way to the trail head and a change of clothes…
