Colorado

So we've been in Colorado a little over 2 months now. Although we're not quite as settled in as I'd like (you have to be patient when you decide to bring no furniture whatsoever) it is definitely starting to feel like home. We still miss Maryland though - for sure! And we miss our house. Here is the house we are renting. It is a good fit for us, but I will say I am glad we don't own it!
(And no Lori, that was not our house you saw in the other pic. Sorry.)The weather has been nothing but amazing since we got here. We have had like one rainy day, and this is what we got in return:
This is a view just a short drive from our house. As you can see we aren't right next to the mountains, but we get some pretty great views of them while driving around town.

One of my favorite things about our house is that it such a short walk from a great park with soccer fields, basketball court, playset, and running and biking trails. We have already made a couple of good friends that live close by and we love meeting up at the park. As I write this I realize that after all of this newborn craziness and moving craziness I am finally starting to enjoy the life of a SAHM. Ha!
Max LOVES the swings. Max loves a lot of things though. The kid just loves life. And I love it!



I'll do another post just about 9 month Max soon, but I'll just say that he is the happiest boy and is always smiling and laughing.
Max always gets a grin on his face when he knows the pinchers are coming for him!
We also got to spend a couple days with Joe's mom in early October. She came out for the opening of the dental office Joe works at so she and I could get some dental work done while the other watched Max. Max had such a good time with his Nonna.
Joe had a bit of a stressful day (because the assistant exaggerated her qualifications in her interview). So Joe had to do a cerec crown on his mom and a cerec inlay on me while doing his job, her job, and teaching her her job, but all went well.
Then Max and I headed out to Utah to visit with cousins and other family. Here's my sister Kate with the 5 Lewis grandchildren!
Max also got to meet his Ur-Grosvati (Swiss for Great Grandpa) who just celebrated his 90th birthday!
His cousins Tyler and Kai loved making him forts and corralling him inside.
And Max had fun being his usual little nutty self. More on Max later!
