Today we took a walk up to the park where you swung for awhile, you had your first trip down a slide, and then we all went for a swim. The pool felt a lot colder to me than last time, and in fact I was shivering in the water and abandoned the pool for the hot tub. But you stayed in the pool for about 20 minutes, happy and content the entire time.

This evening your nana and papa watched you while your dad and I ran out for a quick drink. We went to the Breckenridge Brewery, where I remember sharing (9 years ago) a nice, special, quiet meal amidst the chaos of our upcoming wedding, just two days away. And where your dad and I took our first solo outing after having you, when you were just two weeks old and I needed to get out of the house. It’s amazing now, looking back at how overwhelmed I was during that day months ago when you were so little, thinking about how much fun we’ve had, and how much we love you so.
