I was hoping that I would have time this week to update you on all the goings on, but this little post will have to do as we have been pretty busy!
We decided to take a little extra time as we headed west and so we stopped for a night and a concert (Joe Bonamassa at Red Rocks) in Denver. Then we spent a few days in Keystone and Breckenridge hiking and kayaking and enjoying the beautiful mountains and pine air. We took the scenic route out of the mountains through Leadville and Aspen and that was nice.
Utah has been good. Since we were only here for a few days at the end of June, we have planned to see friends and family for meals and outings more this time. I was able to have lunch with my family on Saturday. It’s been a few years since the siblings were together and we had a lot of fun. We had dinner with a former business partner of Nathan’s and his wife. We have been able to have several visits with Nathan’s dad, including today when Nathan played Bach for him. Church and meals and games and visiting with the family is great!
The only sad thing to report this week is that we are still on baby watch. Our poor daughter-in-law Hanna is now overdue and that baby seems to be taking his sweet time. We are anxious to meet him!
Hopefully next week will be a bit quieter and I can tell you about our exploits a little more. Have a marvelous week!
She’s Here!
Hi! We’ve had a good week here in Northern Utah. The weather is warming up a bit, there are buds on the trees, and…oh yeah…we have a new granddaughter! Daisy Ray Bauserman joined us about 10 days early on Friday night. Lauren had a crazy day of contractions and running back and forth to the hospital on Thursday with no progress. Then on Friday night, little miss didn’t waste any time and was born just before 10 pm. There was a bit of a hiccup in delivery when Lauren’s blood pressure dropped (and of course, so did baby’s) due to an extra dose of pain meds in her epidural. But she recovered and was able to deliver normally, despite being extremely medicated and numb. Miss Daisy’s a cute little thing and looks an awful lot like her big sister. Needless to say, we are tickled with our newest addition.
Marching On
Hello from beautiful Utah and Happy March! We had a good two weeks in Missouri, playing with kids and helping out. After two long driving days later, we are resting up in Utah for new adventures coming up! Although Nathan was fighting illness the whole time, we had a...
A Very Merry Birthday
We’ve had a good week here in Ohio and West Virginia. Nathan is still in a battle with a cold virus, but it’s been great beside that wrinkle. We’ve played with the kids, done some projects around Lauren’s house, and even found time for a trip to the dentist (Bo :)). We just happened to be around while he was off with his brothers and dad on a hunt, so it was a bonus to be able to help Lauren. She’s in her last month of pregnancy number four, so things are getting exciting! Despite being 8+ months pregnant, she prepared me a spectacular birthday dinner, making ramen from scratch (including handmade noodles) and a glorious flourless chocolate cake. I was spoiled to get fancy chocolates from my hubby, texts and calls from lots of people I love, and plenty of grandkid giggles and hugs. It’s been a good one! We’ll be picking up and moving on tomorrow…Missouri is next!
