Kids, I mean Adults, say the darndest...Comment Competition.

Now's your chance to be the author. We would love to have you create a caption for Miss Sofia. Use the rubber ducky or the bubbles or any idea to create a caption. The last picture is Sofia in her favorite hat that Aunt Lindsey got her from France last year. So go ahead, be creative! The more comments the funnier this will be! Don't be shy, everyone leave a post! Hope you all have some fun with this! I'm calling you out MYC ladies, girls from 829, family and friends. Random people visiting for the first time to our random fans from California. Who got the best line...?

The Power of Prayer

WHOA! Sofia only woke up ONCE last night and it wasn't until 4 a.m.!! Thank you to all of you for your love and support. :)

A Tiny Request...

It isn't often that Chris and I ask for much, but right now we need your help. Sofia has had a really bad ear infection (her first) for the past few days as well as a cold. Our jobs have also been incredibly demanding with extra responsibilities and longer hours lately. Nights have turned into naps and the days seem never-ending. Needless to say, we are tired. So, in a spare moment, would you mind saying a little prayer for a healing ear and a good night's sleep? Here's a cute picture of Sofia for some motivation. :) Thanks and love to all!!

Almost the happiest day of my life...

1.) The day Sofia Kathleen Daniel was born
2.) The day I married my best friend
3.) Today...(see below)
4.) The day I found $300 in my dresser drawer 5 months after I thought I lost it
5.) The day I moved back to Colorado and saw the Rocky Mountains
6.) The day I bought my first house and became officially poor
7.) The day I graduated college and had to grow up...

I'll stop there. Seven is a good number, actually the best number. This week my neighboor told me if I got her a football by Wednesday night, she would get it signed by the almighty Denver Bronco great himself, John Elway. Christina works in public relations for the V.A. and was hosting an event at a local hospital. She pulled a few strings and I got what all little boys here in Broncos Country dream of. This will join my collection of John Elway Superbowl football cards and the 1"x1" piece of "game worn" football pants mounted with a glass etched picture memorabilia.

My girls are back!!!

Hey there, like the ruffles on my butt? Check out my dance moves...
Can a girl get some service around here! How is the squash?
Family time on the ground...
Hey, lets see who can be the most seriuos...I finally learned to sit up! I'll be driving a car in no time...
Chilin' at Matt & Stacey's on Sunday for a dinner cookout.
I dog sat Jake while the girls were in Michigan and Matt & Stacey were in Mexico. These two crashed after a nice long walk.

Penni Style vs Vail Style

I decided to take Penni to Vail on Friday while he is in town keeping me company while Meg and Sofia are in Michigan for spring break. We had a great time despite the lack of ideal snow conditions. The snow was icy in the morning and went right to slushy snow later in the day. Penni had his work cut out for him with the altitude change in Denver alone, not to mention the added increase with skiing at the top of Vail mountain. All that matters is that he looked good doing it. We called it a day after plenty of good runs and no success finding Preppy any ski bunnies.

Yuk!

I finally broke down and went to the doctor yesterday. It always amuses me that I hate going to the doctor when that is what I wanted to do for the bulk of my life! :) It turns out that it was a good thing that I made the visit...I have bronchitis with a secondary infection on top of that! You should SEE the pills I have to take (think long john donut...okay, slight exaggeration, but they are still HUGE). At least, I finally have some positive light at the end of this nasty, cough-filled tunnel.

Daddy's Lucky Charm...

Sofia, Meg, and I went downtown on Saturday for Denver's St. Patricks Day Parade. We joined our two neighboors Jen and Christina, who gave us VIP tickets to the main stage area (it also came with free food and beer!). They were also supplying Jameson Irish Whiskey, which was really good. As we were leaving our house we noticed our camera was out of juice. So, the pictures we got were the ones that Christina took for us (sorry for all of you parade lovers...). After the parade we went to a Irish Pub back near Meghan's school where Christina knew the owner and head bartender. They had Irish Dancers (all kids) dressed in celtic garb and dancing in their wooden clogs. It was so cute. I was amazed in how long Sofia's clover outfit lasted without a massive spit-up accident.

I know Meg and Sofia are excited to see you all this weekend. I am sorry I can be there to see you all but know that I miss you and will see you soon. My great friend Penni (Jonathan Pennington) is going to come to visit to keep me company while Meg is back in Michigan. We are going to go skiing in Vail on Friday and then to the Coors Brewery on Saturday for a tour of the second greatest place next to the home of the Denver Broncos - Invesco Field at Mile High. I promise (fingers crossed) that we will be on our best behavior and will stay out of as much trouble as possible. I am going to miss my girls so much. Take care of them!

Just Thinking...

Every once in a while, we recieve a reminder of how lucky we are to have the people in our lives that we do. Despite being so far from our dearest friends and family, the special connection between us has never been lost. We are so blessed. Thank you to all of you for always being there to support us.

A IS for Adorable!

Daddy is up at Vail skiing today with the boys. What does that mean??? Girls day! Sofia and I had a lovely morning with some of my girlfriends at a great restaurant called Lola's downtown and then it was time for pictures. :) P.S. Snowboarding was GREAT yesterday!!..of course we forgot the camera!
