Aunt Jenny Meets Truman!

Jen was so sweet to take time out of her busy schedule and impending move to Austin, TX the very next week...and come to Denver to meet Truman! As you will see from most of these pictures, Truman decided to stick his tongue out almost the entire time she was here. He has done this before for a couple of days. I'm just not sure what it is all about...

JoDee, Rodolfo and Georgia Visit Denver

It was so good to see one of my dear sweet best friends! JoDee and her family came to Denver for a business meeting and I must say, I think they fell in love with the place! We went to the zoo on Wednesday and had a great time. The weather was really nice. Georgia was so well behaved while Truman pretty much cried the entire day. Very uncharacteristic for him, I must say...

Trip to Scottsdale

We took an impromptu trip to Scottsdale (sorry Amy and Alf that we didn't make a point to come see you!). We were there less than 48 hours, so I'm not sure that it was enough time for me to really unwind and feel that I was on vacation. Jason was really needing some sort of a break and after much convincing, off we went. We stayed at the Scottsdale Resort and besides the extra large cockroach we found on the wall upon entering the room (they say this is very normal in this part of the country...), the hotel was fantastic. We managed to go for a long run on Saturday morning and eat at our favorite restaurant (at least in Scottsdale): Bandera. If you haven't tried it, you must. Delicious and excellent service. We left one of Truman's toys at the table and they mailed it back to us with a note from our server! Unbelievable.

Flower Gardens

We live within walking distance of several beautiful parks now. The city plants a ton of flowers and about 2 weeks ago, I would say the flowers "peaked". Now that it is getting a bit colder, they aren't quite at their prime, but they are still so beautiful. In October, they will be put to bed. I was dying to get out here and take some pics of Truman with the flowers...

September - My favorite time of year in Denver

What a beautiful time of year here in Denver! Truman and I have been trying to stay out side as much as we can...we know the cold snow is on its way. Almost any time we have our front door open, Truman and Astro love to stand/sit at the door and watch the world go by!
