Happy Birthday, dear Janice,
Happy Birthday to you!

Have a great day!

It's raining...It's pouring...

It rained in Denver for a couple of days, enough to fill Bailey's little swimming pool, but we didn't even come close to getting as much rain as my parents in Burlington. The first week of August the county fair was in town and they saw a significant amount of rain that week. These two pictures show you the arena at the fairgrounds. Wouldn't you love to watch the bull riders trying to hold on 8 seconds in this arena.

Uncle Justin and Aunt Jen

On June 30th our little nephew, Caleb Michael Gross, was born in Amarillo, TX. He was a healthy little bundle of joy weighing in at 8lb 11.5oz and was 21 1/4 inches long. Jeff and Diana are learning the ropes of parenting and doing a great job! My parents went down to help out around the house after he was born and Justin and I will be heading down in September to spend a weekend with the newest member of our family. We can't wait to see Caleb (and Jeff and Diana) and will be sure to post more pictuers when we get back. Here are a some pictures of Caleb's first month and a half of life!

Pedal til you can't pedal any more!

On June 28th and 29th we participated in the 2008 Bike MS, which was a two day 150 mile bicycle ride from Denver up to Ft. Collins (day 1) and then back (day 2). This was Justin's first year of participation and my fourth year. It was a great opportunity for us to raise money for those living with multiple sclerosis. Here's Justin waiting at the starting line on Day 1.

London and Paris

In May, we made our first trip to Europe. Our trip started and ended in London, where we stayed with Justin's friends, Greg and Karen. We took a few days in the middle of the trip to travel to Paris and enjoy the City of Love (and walking, walking, walking). It was a great trip! Here are a few of our favorite pictures from the trip.

How does this work?

I am in the process of trying to put together a webpage for Justin and me. I'm not sure how this is going to work, but it is a start. A big thanks to Sandy Scholz for helping me figure this out. We'll see how I do.
