More new puppy

The new puppy

Okay, so she's not really ours. Michael's parents bought a new silky terrier puppy, and they stopped on the way home from the airport to let us say hello. She is adorable and "tiny enough for your hand" according to Kaitlin. I think Kaitlin and Scylla practically frightened the poor thing to death, but she was a trooper. It's almost enough to make me want another puppy - almost.

First snowfall

We were still in Utah for the first true snow, and Kaitlin was ecstatic this morning when we had a fresh new coat. I managed to put her off until 9:00 am, but we did finally bundle up and head outside. She is such a brave little girl. We were playing on the drainage hill (which apparently doubles as a snow hill) in the winter. She kept saying things like "it's okay mommy, don't be scared, you can do it mommy, the hill's not as big as it looks." It just made me chuckle - I think those are supposed to be my lines. Granted I'm very pregnant and my balance is somewhat questionable, but still, she leaves me in the dust when it comes to snow.

Riding the 4 wheelers at Thanksgiving

What can I say - if it's a trip with my parents some sort of recreational vehicle will be involved. We visited my grandmas in Utah this year, and this was the first time we've ever been away from the Fort Collins/Loveland area since we've been married. It was fun to see some relatives, hang out with some old college friends, and of course, visit all of the Utah stores for black Friday. Kaitlin fell in love with the little rocker at RC Willey, and after 2 hours of waiting in that horrendous line it came home with us. I think that puts us on some sort of "cool parent" list.
