On the road again with my boys! Today we left New Mexico and headed north to the land God blessed. As we crossed the border into Colorado, the sun broke through the clouds, highlighting the magnificent mountains. We felt the state welcoming us!
It has been snowing ever since mile marker #5. It is a light snow that is not at all harsh. Ahhh Colorado dryness, how I have missed you.
My son hasn’t favored the dry climate though. His poor new skin has not been doing very well in the New Mexico climate. His cheeks got a little chapped and an area right below his lip was really chapped. We found this awesome product called Baby Balm by Badger that we are putting on his face multiple times a day. It has really helped with the chapping. I know he is going to need it even more in Colorado. My mom sent me a text that it currently feels like 8 below in CO Springs, our first destination. Wowzer that is cold.
We really enjoyed our time in NM. My mom and Glen have a beautiful home that is so welcoming. Plus they have a hot tub. Josh and I enjoyed that just about every night! We were so blessed to see all our family and friends. Carlsbad is a special place. I love the family history I have there. There is a great community of believers there. People that knew my dad live there. People that knew my grandma live there. People that knew my grandparent’s parents live there. Amazing.
There are so many people that Josh & I consider dear to us. We have talked about how we wish we could move our friends from Virginia, New Mexico, Iowa, Texas, Colorado and California to Colorado. We could all be together in the most beautiful land. So what do you say? Wouldn’t that be fun???
It is certainly hard to not be near people who are very important to us, especially now that we have Hunter. But I love how we can pick right back up where we left, and that while we are apart we have the Internet and phones.
I am not always the best at staying in touch with family and friends. But you are all dear to my heart and I praise God for our friendship and for who you are!

You do a wonderful job of "keeping in touch" with this blog and Facebook. I check them everyday "just in case." We are having more snow. Maybe Baylee really doesn't like it because the poor little thing peed on the new rug in the blue room--maybe this morning. I figure she was just desparate as she really ran around outside. However, the snow comes up past her belly now and I think that makes her puzzled about how to go. I took her to every shallow spot I could find. Heehee. So glad you are getting to spend time in Colorado. I'd move there. As a former Alaskan, I have to say, I like Colorado BEST.
