We are back to the snow.

We have made it back to snowy Colorado and have got all settled into our house. On our travel across the country we stopped in Columbia to see my parents new house and for a nice visit.

Liam and Mari playing finally. They have been so excited to see each other and unfortuanely Liam was very sick and in the hospital for a few days. Thankfully he is doing fine and we appreciate all your prayers.


We had a little birthday party for Mari.

An adorable outfit from the Peck family with a matching baby outfit.

We went to a pumpkin patch while we were there. There was a kids hay maze that the kids did a thousand times, lots of animals to pet and a hayride. We had a great time and were exhausted by the end.


Greg had to be back in Colorado for work so we stayed a few days longer.

The kids were obsessed with Pops cycle. Especially Owen, he climbed up it every chance he got.

I believe that the few people that read our blog have learned that Mari is not the easiest one to get dressed. She is very particular to say the least. So this day she chose to wear a leotard for the day. Then we decided to go fishing with Liam and Pops. Encouraging her to wear pants was not a success. So she opted for long socks. It is hard on me some days, but I loved this.

Pops and the kids!

My Dad planned on driving back with the kids and I on Wednesday morning, but there was a big snow storm that set us back until Thursday morning. Thank goodness because Sarah went into labor on Wednesday and we were able to meet the new baby.

Mari loved her new cousin. She wanted to hold her the whole time.

Meet Eliza Catherine Peck!

We were so excited that we were able to be there and meet her.

We got back before Halloween, so we got to enjoy the day with all our friends we had so greatly missed. Here they all are at morning play group.

Then that night we went trick or treating with everyone as well. Owen was an adorable lion and he kept saying roarrr. Mari was a fairly princess. It was very cold and once again she opted for not warm clothing.

Owen's 1st try at trick or treating. He kept giving the next house the candy he got at the one before.

Here is our first time in the snow this year. I'm not as excited about the cold and snow, but they sure enjoyed it. I guess I better get ready we just got 6 inches the other morning.

Well, that about does it for what we have been up to. Now we are just adjusting to life back here and seeing all our friends. Mari is enjoying having all the kids to play with again.
