Colorado Trip
I just got back from a trip to Colorado. I spent the week there helping out with Lisa’s kids while she had surgery. The surgery went well and Lisa is back home resting. Eric is able to take a few weeks off to help out around the house so we dropped Maddie and Ethan off yesterday.
This was a great opportunity to get to know Maddie and Ethan better. Maddie is a character. She is very sweet and also very opinionated. I also found out she likes to bargain a lot like her cousin Robyn. (No Maddie, only 1 cookie!) Maddie has her own digital camera and was snapping all kinds of pictures.
Ethan was a bundle. I found out when I arrived that I would be sharing rooms with him at night. Remember, it’s been almost 7 years since I last had to wake up to feed a crying baby. 
It was fun, but I’m tired! :-) Ethan is a great little kid, he likes his binky and to be played with, but he also likes being left alone so he can stretch out. I enjoyed meeting him this week.
Kala also stopped in because she was on her own Colorado trip. Grandma Pep’s brother passed away last Friday and Kala flew in Tuesday for the funeral. Wednesday she stopped by my parents house to see the kids before flying back Thursday. So we both got to know Lisa and Eric’s kids a little better. That was fun.
I also spent some good time with Mom, Dad and Rob while there. It looks like Rob is really enjoying his work at Starbucks and Mom is enjoying UoP. Dad is still working on a project so they are all busy.
Due to pending weather, I ended up cutting my trip short by a day. Chicago is notorious for not being able to handle weather and I didn’t feel like staying in an airport all night waiting for a flight. So I grabbed a Friday night quick flight to get home.
So I had a very good trip and thankfully, Lisa had a successful surgery.
