Focus on the Family

We had an amazing weekend in Denver. Daven was a champ through all the commotion and loved playing with Tia. Once Auntie Autumn got there, he looked at her and with bright eyes gave her a huge smile and reached for her. I know he was saying “Where’ve you been all my life?” (I’ve looked for you forever and a day. Where’ve you been…I’m just not myself when you’re away.) It was so great to see him light up. He knew exactly who she was and just wanted to be with her. Once we started making our way to the hotel room, Autumn was talking to everyone (while holding Daven) and explaining how her flight and trip was. He then grabbed her face and moved it so she was looking at Daven again and just smiled and kissed her. Very precious moments!
When time is spent with my family like this weekend, I am reminded how lucky I am to have such a supportive and loving family. We didn’t do anything spectacular, we didn’t go out and have big parties; we simply hung out (in the hotel room) and enjoyed each others company. That has to say something about our love for each other.
Auntie Autumn got all the Daven and Tia and Raney time she wanted. He did show her all his new tricks and Autumn was as excited to see them as Daven was to show her. There aren’t many things that rank higher on Autumn’s priority list than Daven time. I was so happy to see him love on her as much as he did. He knew that his time with her was limited…so he took every chance he could to just look at her face. Here they are enjoying every minute of the day together.
It was great to see her and I only cried from Denver to Colorado Springs. Pretty good I thought.
I LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU ALREADY! Christmas is coming soon…

It must have been a LONG ride back home, Aspen. It is so great you were able to spend time together, but now you need to start counting for Christmas!
Your weekend sounds amazing, the simple things in life are always the best!
XOXO

First of all, I want to say thanks for putting that nice butt shot of me up...precieate it. If I wasn't so happy to be spending time with Daven, the consequences of posting that picture would be much worse. I don't think this weekend could've been any better...Daven is such a big boy and making huge strides in becoming a little man. I love you and Daven and the whole family sooooo much.
Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat!
What a wonderful family you have. Daven is adorable and he looked so happy!!
