Life of a busy 12 week old...and her family

Rachel is 3 months old already, my how time flies. I took her in for a weight check, she is slowing down, but still growing and now weighs 12 pounds. The last three nights she has slept anywhere from 8 to 11 hours without waking up to be fed...knock on wood, and we are all happy that my getting up nightly might be coming to a close. We have been keeping busy camping on the weekends, playing sports during the week along with all the other requirements of life. I began showing the condo for some new renters, good news looks like we have it rented out again already. Doug's cousins, Sarah, Emily and Jason came back to Fort Collins with Doug's mom after the 4th of July and have been a great help playing with the kids while we have been trying to show them a good time for a couple weeks. We went camping up at horsetooth again with them the first weekend, they have been watching the kids while we play softball and soccer as well as Doug's 10 year high school reunion. It has consistently been in the 90's here now for a couple weeks, so we have been spending lots of time in or near water.

Little miss blue eyes!!!

Rachel loves sucking on her fist, and when possible the bottom of her dresses



Caleb and Jason playing in the water


Rachel is mesmerized by the flames from the camp fire


View from our campsite in Dixon cove on Horsetooth Reservoir, you would never know we are only 5 minutes from home

Rachel's first official time swimming, and it's a packed pool

Sooooo relaxing, but a little too bright for my sensitive eyes



Watch out Rachel, Caleb is trying to run you over with his boat


Caleb on his slide

Pretty in pink
