finally caught

so i wasn't home to rejoice with jesse, since i am in colorado this week, but he called yesterday to let me know the mousey mouse has been captured!!! yay!

now i guess we just wait around to see how many of his friends he told about the peanut butter and cheese snacks that are available at the pié home.
i am spending a few days in colorado to be with family and attend services for my grandfather vollbracht who went to be with the Lord last week. it has been good to see extended family and spend time together remembering our grandpa. yesterday he was buried at Ft. Logan cemetery in Denver, which happens to be where his parents were buried, and also my grandfather on my dad's side. here are my sisters and me at our great-grandparents' (vollbracht) headstone.



kate has been enjoying being passed around and held by everyone. here she is with her great grandma vollbracht.


kate and i left jesse and jacob home in kentucky- we'll see what the house looks like when we get back tomorrow! i am sure it looks fine- actually jesse impressed me and made himself a crock of homemade chili yesterday!

a couple cute pictures of kate hanging out with her cousin silas (my cousin's boy who was born 29 days before kate). i think he REALLY liked her! :)

Glad you are having a good time under the circumstances and are able to see family. Praying for you. Hope you have a good trip home!

--glad you caught the mouse; hope he didn't pass along the snacks message to others. What a good idea to take the picture at the grave site--you'll really love that you have that when you're old, too. Kate is beautiful.

Sorry about the families' loss, but so glad that you could go and be with them. I second the gravesite picture idea - very smart. What a blessing to have husbands who are also great dads and will stay home with children and enjoy it!
Yeah on the mouse being caught!
