Home again!

After a month of what seems like constant travel, Dale, Adelaida, and I are all home and getting settled back into a more normal routine. Part of this routine is going to involve more frequent blog posts, so you can expect to hear about our exciting trips over the next several days or weeks.

Our summer of travel started with a long trip to Indiana to visit family. Adelaida and I drove to Indiana (with a stop in Tulsa) and spent almost two weeks in Indiana before flying home. Dale couldn't take that much time away from work, but was able to join us for a wonderful surprise visit over Independence Day weekend.

We returned from Indiana, spent one week at home, then packed up the car and toured southern Colorado with Grant and Jamie for ten days. This was a hiking, euchre-playing, sleeping in kind of vacation, which is exactly what vacations are supposed to be like!

I'll be posting more details (and pictures) from both of these trips over the next few weeks. For now, here are two picture of Adelaida. In the first one, she is sucking on the strap to her favorite sun bonnet (a sunflower hat) while in her hiking backpack. In the second, she is sitting on the floor, naked except for her diaper, chewing on the handle end of a purple Mexican maraca. Enjoy!
