Grandpa John Visits

Grandpa John came up to visit for a few days last week.  He came up to visit the day after she was born and still in the NICU and then again when she was about 5 weeks old so its was fun to get his thoughts on how much she has changed. We took this picture because last time he was here she fit into the green shirt.  The picture doesn't show it great but she is a lot bigger. Hard to imagine the green onesie fit just a few weeks ago.

Sara LOVES to be outside and go for walks so we took a lot of walks when Grandpa was here. Sunday all of us went up to Bogus Basin and hiked the ski hill.  Ellis carried Sara in the backpack and we walked up until they got too hot. It was a great hike.  Grandpa, Sara and I took the dogs for a walk each morning and Sara went in the backpack.  (Thank you Brent and Shy, we get a lot of use out of that pack).  We, of course , took our usual pilgrimage to Cabelas.  Grandpa loves Cabelas and they don't have one in Colorado (yet).   Also not surprising, we took a walk to get ice cream one afternoon.  Other than our multiple walks a day we enjoyed some time hanging out at home and on the back patio.

Sara wore her sun hat and matching sun suit (thanks YiYi!)  most of the weekend since we spent so much time outside.  She is bald so we have to cover her little head.

Sara and Grandpa had many "conversations" 

 Sara is really starting to smile, Grandpa caught this smile one morning
