Over Labor Day week Nathan, Brody and I went to stay with LoLo and Pop at their cabin in Colorado. Hayley, Casey, Clare, Jane & Sydney met us there and it was a wonderful week. The tone was a little different than in years past with three babies and a 2 1/2 year old, but it is still our favorite getaway and it is such a blessing to be able to spend the time with family.
Brody had a fun week. He really enjoyed LoLo and Pop's swing. He watched Pop catch a fish in the creek and even grabbed a fin!
Nathan and I had a great time with Chuck and Lometa, Hayley and Casey. LoLo and Pop were kind enough to babysit (yes, all FOUR!) so we could go to a couple of dinners with Hayley and Casey. The boys played golf and fished and the girls all went into town for lunch and a massage. I think in the end everyone had just the vacation they needed and I'm already thinking about next year!

We tried to have a photo session with the babies one afternoon. About 90 pictures later this is the closest I found to three smiles!

Brody can hold himself up!
All four kids on LoLo and Pop's bed. Not the greatest picture, but one of the few Clare would participate in! Notice Brody's arm around Sydney! So cute.

Fun one morning with LoLo and Clare.
A great shot of Jane. I love that wrinkled nose.
A rare smile from Sydney. I think it's because she is escaping the "baby pit."

I'm sure he'll kill me for this pic one day!
