A busy Fall!

It's been a crazy couple of months! We took a quick trip to Phoenix for my Dad's 60th birthday party. It was definitely quite an event. The true suprise for my Dad was that we were there! It was awesome to be with him on his special day :)
We also got a visit from my mom and grandmother. My grandmother had not been to Colorado since Alex's birth so it was extra special to have her here. She is such a phenomenal woman and I am always at awe at her accomplishments and her life. It was fun to see her interact with Alex who was very generous with his hugs and kisses to her. We were fortunate to have my mom in town so that Mike and I could make a quick get-away to Aspen last week. We celebrated our 6 year anniversary a little early by spending a couple of nights at the beautiful St. Regis Aspen. We treated ourselves to a massage, a nice dinner, and alone time! It was the first time I was away from Alex for more than ten hours! Mike will tell you that I was calling my mom every 3-4 hours to make sure he wasn't driving her too crazy! We are happy to report that Alex passed with flying colors and my mom was very impressed with his angelic behavior :) If only he could be that way for me!
Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks! More to come!
