Denver!

Alivia and I (Kandace) took a one week vacation to good ole Denver, CO. We had the pleasure of staying with our friends, Brian, Kassie and Addie.

They were (and always are) very generous to us and we greatly appreciate it! (Thanks, Mercer's!) It was so much fun watching Liv and Addie play and communicate with one another. It's amazing that they know what they are saying to each other, like they have their own language.


We did a lot of fun things including swimming...


Hanging out with Tara...




















Going to Red Rocks with Anne, Jr, and Anne's friend and son....




Meeting up for some dinner with Kim, Dylan, and Carson...



Watching the annual March blizzard...


Hanging out, because Liv was sick...


The Children's Museum with April, Ethan, and the Mercer's...







We were also able to see "Uncle Sean" for a few minutes before he ran off to a soccer game...


Enjoying the day with Tara and Dylan at the aquarium...





A lovely chat with our old friend, John...



and then a delayed flight that led to a missed flight due to me being taken to the hospital via ambulance. I am ok, just was a little faint and needed an IV to get me back on my feet. We ended up staying an extra night in Denver, because we had missed the last flight out for the night. Bummer.

I was happy to get home to my own bed, without Alivia hogging all of my space!



I also enjoyed catching up with some friends at our former church called Scum of the Earth and our good friend and former pastor, Nate and his family, of Anoka Covenant.

All in all, we had a great time! Alivia and Addie seemed to enjoy their time together.





Livie also loved Polly the pug whom she refered to as "Pollys"
