A Quick Trip to Denver

Richard and I took a quick trip to Denver for Jacob's blessing. We didn't leave until Saturday morning because Jonathan couldn't come. He sang in the Allstate choir that performed Saturday night in the Tabernacle. He got to spend all day Friday and most of Saturday with Mack Wilberg, which was great, but left him alone for two days. We arrived in time to go out to eat at Applebee's with most of Jessica's inlaws. Here we are back to Jess' apartment getting kids ready for bed.

This wild wrestling match on our airbed..

...actually started with Grandpa reading the girls a bedtime story very sedately.

Jacob smiles very often, but everytime my camera tries to capture it he stops, but here's a rare exception Sunday morning pre-blessing.

I had to put in all of these shots to show how difficult it is to get Sophie and Tessa posing at the same time.

Jacob on the other hand is always picture ready!

Here's Jacob post blessing with his Chapman grandparents. They are awesome btw. Jacob Daniel received a wonderful blessing from his dad. He was warned of the dark times he was born in and told that he was sent to his family and situation to prepare him to be the means of bringing light to others in dark places. And more good stuff!

We rushed home right after their meetings. On the way to Denver we took the northern I-80 route and had snow and rain most of the way, with lots of accidents and a big slow down between Cheyenne and Boulder, we had sunshine and dry roads on Sunday, so we took the more scenic soutnern route on I-70.

Its was pretty! We got home before 10:30.

It used to be a depressing day the day after coming home from visiting grandkids, but not any more! Elliott is here today! She managed to crawl through the chairs and under the table and back out again. She getting good at it!
