Where to begin......When I was thinking about what pic I was going to place in the header spot I wanted it to one that would make a statement. I was looking through all the photos of the past year and finally came across this one of the girls. It says exactly what Brad and I deal with on a day to day basis. Maddie seems to think that she does the driving while Gracie is her little co-pilot!!

Catching Up

To everyone who likes to check this on a regular basis, I am sooo sorry! Right after my last post school got out for the summer and then we started running 10 different directions.
Let me catch everyone on what has been happening.........
Once Maddie finished school we started swim lessons about a week later. The following week was my cousin, Adam's wedding here in Fort Collins. Maddie and I were both in the wedding and it was a blast. Maddie did wonderful. When we were at the rehearsal the coordinator was about to tell her how to proceed down when Mad looked at her and said, "I know how to do this, I have done it before." OHH MADELEINE! In true Anderson fashion this wedding became a huge party! A couple people, I won't name names, spent the night on the banquet room floor using table cloths as covers. The next day a large group of us went white water rafting. Let me just put it out there that drinking heavily and then doing a fast paced outdoor activity cures a hangover in an instant. I think the idea that I might fall in the cold water was enough to snap me out of it. Then the following day we celebrated Grace's 2nd birthday. Happy Birthday Little Grace!!! The week after the wedding we took a deep breath and then the next week Brad and I had a "grown-up" weekend in Chicago. One of my childhood friends (since we were 2 years old) had her bridal shower out there so we turned it into a long weekend. Brad and I were able to go out for some nice long dinners and also get some shopping on Michigan Ave. done. Three days after we got back we had some family from New Mexico up to visit for the 4th of July. The kids had a blast as my cousin and her family who stayed with us have a 16 month old little girl and a 3 year old boy. I promise I will post some pictures soon!
In the meantime, Eric has left for Costa Rica and will return on September 7th. If anyone would like to follow his adventure he also started a blog. http://www.costaricabeachbum.blogspot.com/

I hope you are all enjoying your summer and will now try to keep up a little more!
