Trip to North Carolina

In September, we (Robin, Anderson, and Grandma Shorty) took at trip to North Carolina to visit Jen, Josh, and Elle. Upon arrival we witnessed a sighting of the greatest motor vehicle design ever created. Unfortunately, the only pictures I have of this beauty are on my phone and posted on FB...so, check it out if you are intersted. Although...no picture can give the Dragon Wagon justice!!

While we were visiting, we went to the beach for a couple of days, saw Josh jump out of a plane, had a fire with marshmellows, went for a few runs, completed the best obstacle course since conception, and spent lots of time playing with cousin Elle!! Thanks for everything Jen and Josh...looking forward to seeing you all in December!

Kisses from Anderson...probably just after he pushed her to the ground. Anderson didn't quite understand what "be gentle with Baby Elle" meant.

Grandma Shorty and her grandkids!

Anderson and Elle reading...

More videos of the waves and the beach are next!!

Some things never change...

Jen, my oldest sister, got this picture from my Dad. I love it! And, it's crazy how much Anderson looks just like me minus those tiny little eyes (thank goodness he got his daddy's big eyes).

Robin: "Whaaat??? I didn't do anything!" Jen: Pissed that I'm talking my way out of something again.

Lots of Babies!!

We got together with a bunch of our closest friends on Labor Day. It's quite a different group than it was 4 years ago when we left Seattle to move to Denver. Everyone has kids now and some of us have two. We were only missing Whit Vaughn!! Great fun!

From left to right...Ben Judy, Anderson Talley, Cannon McClure, Wesley Roach, Sam Judy, Carson McClure, Klara Willis, Eleanna Horner, and Magnolia Horner.

Cutie Pie - Cousin Rylan!!

On our way from Colorado to Washington we stopped and spent a night with Bryon (Brad's oldest brother) and Sara and their two kids (Rylan and Ayla). It was great to see the two boys playing together and fun to envision what friends they'll be over the years! Anderson wasn't in the smiling mood but these pictures were so cute of Rylan that I couldn't resist posting them.

Kissess from Anderson...smooch!

Check out those curls!!

Gotta love the undies!

Sand Dunes Camping

In July, we went to the Sand Dunes National Park in Colorado and spent a few nights camping, hiking, and relaxing. Anderson LOVED it! Lots of bugs, dirt, and deer for him to see.

Our campsite and new tent!!

Getting started...it was a tough hike!

The sand felt so good on our feet.

Peek-a-boo!!

What do you do when it starts pouring while camping?!?

We moved...

I've been a little behind on things lately!! We finally moved to Washington...here's our new address:

7526 89th Ave SE, Unit B
Snohomish, WA 98290

We are renting a place in Snohomish for the next few months while we get settled. I'll update our address when we buy something (hopefully in Seattle) this spring. Life is good and we are really loving being closer to family. More to come...I'll try to get caught up on what's been happening.

A lot more happened in June...

I haven't been posting much lately but it's not for lack of content...we've been busy lately wrapping up things in Colorado. Here's a snapshot of what else happened in June:

• Robin's last day of work at The Joshua School on June 10th;
• Brad's last shift of EM residency on June 26th;
• lots of going away parties for the Talley family;
• Anderson broke his elbow;
• Brad graduated from Denver Health EM Residency Program;
• trip to Mt. Princeton Hot Springs with friends;
• and Anderson had surgery on his elbow.
