Happy Easter! Cousins in from Chicago make it a very special weekend!

We certainly are blessed with family this Easter weekend. Grandma Pat, otherwise named "Granny Nanny" by Dad spent her last day here in March with our dear cousins Greg, Robin, Megan and Mickala Randby who arrived to Denver at midnight unscathed out of a horrible snowstorm in Chicago.

You all filled our home with joy and giggles to welcome in spring. We briskly walked around Whitetail Park, savored a few morning feedings, and snuggled here and there to calm the triplets... all of which caused our day to zoom by- oh, too quickly. Before we knew it, you all departed for Breckenridge. Grandma Pat leaves early Easter morning to meet up with Grandpa Jim in Sedona, Arizona! We are so grateful for your efforts to meet Mark,Monique, Marek, and Maarten! Megan and Mickala are wonderful with the kids and we welcome your return vacation anyday!

We love you all and thank you for journeying here to enjoy a slice of life together. We sure wished that Chicago wasn't so far away! Come again if your plans can allow it! When we return to Chicago someday in the future, we'll certainly look forward to seeing you all and meeting your cats, too.

Have a great ski trip & Happy Easter!

Love, Suzi, Mark, Maarten, Marek, & Monique... and Grandma Pat!

Spring is here!

We have new visitors joining the triplet's lives.

Reid, Jack, and Addie came by and helped out a lot!

We also visited the park with Rochelle, Linus, and Milo!

It was such a beautiful Spring day, and the kids really enjoyed the outing.
