"Ma'" originally intended to arrive the 3rd, but heard that we'd had an emergency C-section. She decided to forgo planned business in Salt Lake City and arrived a day after the surprise birth. Wow - that was truly appreciated. Hope you have some good hospital memories to take home, Mom.

"Grandma Lyn" got in a day ealier than she'd expected too - 8/2 (I think). She passed on planned adventures of geo-chaching and drove the entire distance from Tucson to Broomfield in a single day - Wow. She brought along our dearly loved neice, Ashley. The more the merrier. Lyn stayed until just last Wednesday. She took Tommy on a geo-chaching trip over the weeknd, having a ton of fun and covering several states. It seemed like the got in some much-needed bonding time. Tam and I enjoyed a nice quiet weekend - also much needed.

Grandpa Mark was here too - flew in Thursday (7/31). Wished he could have stayed longer, but grateful for the time we got. Didn't figure out how to get the photo-ops, so we are holding him to his promise to visit in FL soon so we can get some pics then. I really enjoyed having some father-son time working on the master bath tile job with him. He really got into it and kept me going. So many tiles to cut in that shower and he busted 'em all out. Even stayed an extra day just to make sure it all got done. Good times...

Goes without saying but.... We REALLY enjoyed visiting family. Lot's of good jokes, funny emails to share, treasure hunts (Geo-Caching) and way too much cleaning in preparation of the move... Truth is we are very, very grateful for cooked meals, all the cleaning and organization, the wealth of patience, warm advice, and overall support.

Love and miss you all,
