Babies babies!

Lynn and I headed to Glenwood Springs last weekend to gather with friends (and their kids) for Lauren & Mike's baby shower. Their son is on the way and due next month! It's amazing how many kids are running around at our friend gatherings nowadays! Used to just be the young adults hanging out and boozin. Now there's bottles of formula and sippy cups thrown into the mix! Here's some shots from the weekend, including some of the (other) Townsends, and the newest and cutest addition to our friend & family circle, Piper Maurer.

Chocolate Country!

We were back east last week to celebrate Thanksgiving with the family. We had a great time with everyone, lots of eating, decorating the Christmas tree with our nieces....good wholesome fun. After the long weekend we drove my grandmother home in Pennsylvania. And that meant taking a detour through Hershey, PA...chocolate country! Its great driving down main street...uh I mean Chocolate Avenue.....even the street lights are chocolate kisses. All you need to do is roll all the windows down driving past the Hershey plant and smell cocoa in the air....Hershey, or Heaven? Either way, thank God for chocolate!
