Hiking Around Colorado

The weather has been steadily getting warmer and warmer. This past weekend it got warm enough for us to try out the hiking backpack Grandma and Grandpa S. gave us for Christmas. We decided to try an easy hike first, so we just walked around Harper Lake. The hike was only about two miles, but Daddy's back was getting a little tired by the end. Guess we'll have to keep practicing before we trying anything too strenuous!

Eating has become a bit of an adventure these days. For a while, when Kara was done eating, she would raise her hands and say "Duh". Now, if Mommy and Daddy aren't watching her closely, she'll start taking handfuls of food and plopping them on the ground. Then she'll get an innocent look on her face like she's saying, "I don't know how that food got on the floor." We're hoping this is just a phase and not an indication of things to come. :-)

Kara's starting to talk a lot more these days. She babbles pretty much constantly and can say about 10 words, including please (which was very exciting for Mommy and Daddy).  She's also getting much more demanding. She'll point at the computer and whine until we play her Sesame Street CD. I fear we're getting close to our first temper tantrum...

Well, it looks like we have finally found our house here. It's walking distance to an elementary school, a park, and Daddy's work! We can send pictures to anyone that's interested.
