too busy to blog??

Sorry all... life is so busy (PROOF BELOW). Lots has happened since our last blog, and we're having a harder time sitting down to post pictures and tell you about it. But alas...here's the lowdown for the past month and a half!

• Kate has 2 teeth - on the bottom! (started cutting 'em week of 8/11)
• Dandies came to visit (Denny ran the Pike's Peak Ascent w/Gene .... 1/2 marathon ... on 8/16)
• Sara & Matt came to visit (Matt was getting ready for the Leadville 100-mile race on 8/16)
• Kate turned 7 months old (August 21st!)
• CAROLYN AND GENE CELEBRATED 5 YEARS!!!! (August 22)
  
• We visited Boulder and Estes Park (we were supposed to go camping, but Kate wasn't feeling well, so we just drove around Rocky Mountain National Park and grilled out with our friends at their campsite instead)
  
• We went to Virginia Beach and visited the McCallister grandparents and Auntie Leigh (Labor Day weekend)
• Kate's tried the following solid foods:
  
• Veggies - carrots, peas, squash, sweet potato
  
• Fruits - peaches, pears, blueberries, bananas, avocado, mango
  
• Proteins - egg yolks, steak
  
• FAVORITES - peaches and bananas

And here are some pics and videos!!! Ya, we know what you're thinking .... blah blah blah, where are the pics of Kate??? :-)
