Headed to Mom's

We had a great time in Colorado and returned about a week ago. It was beautiful and a chance to slow down and enjoy each other and life. If you are on Facebook, Matt posted a pic of us there and a couple videos. We are MattMeredith Coleman on there if you look us up. We had to "cabin hop" because when we checked into our original cabin it was terrible. Bugs, dust, all kinds of things a newly crawling baby should not get into, and a nasty floor. By the grace of God we were able to find places to stay but the longest available stay was 2 days at each place we found. It all worked out but that got old. The last place we stayed was a log cabin where you could see the outside from the inside (through the logs). I was not fond of this place needless to say. I worried about bugs as I slept. I am proud to be a city girl the majority of the year. : )

We saw beautiful scenery, went in an old mine, Matt and his parents went 4 wheeling with Merrae and had a picnic up the mountain, we went on a trail to the "American Basin" and had a picnic there, walked along a river and threw rocks, went shopping in a little town, took a dip in some hot springs (stinky....and it just so happened to be HOT that day...ugh), I got a migraine on the 4th...bummer, Matthis ended up with a little altitude sickness, Merrae and Matt went "fishing", Merrae enjoyed digging around the lake with a stick while she sang her heart out...so cute, we ate out a lot, Matt's parents had us out to there motor home out on a camp ground in the middle of the forest in the mountains, and the trip on the airplane there as well as the trip in the motor home on the way back went well for the most part. Matt's jeep had a few issues. On the way there he had to have his tires replaced and on the way home it broke down but was a minor fix. Thankfully, it waited to completely break down until we were in town. We are now having to have the motor replaced. : ( But, atleast it's paid for!

Matt is headed to video a youth camp and me and the kids are headed to mom's for a little help and company. Maybe I'll get to see my brothers too. Dad came in with Sylvia, his new wife and we had a nice time. Mom enjoyed her cruise to Alaska with my Mammaw and has been here for a week. We've gotten some good date nights including a Coldplay concert my brother got us tickets for. So fun. Matt has some clips of that on Facebook too. My sister Rebecca may be coming in town from Seattle in August. A different section of our backyard fence blew down in another storm.

How's that for an update. : ) It'll have to do! We are off to church!
