Grandma and Grandpa Loehfelm, Uncle Tom, and lots of animals!



Grandma Nancy and George's 1st Meeting

Grandpa George and George for the 1st Time
George's first introduction to Grandma and Grandpa Loehfelm!  Not the best pictures I know but they'll do.  The camera somehow got switched to manual focus and I couldn't figure out why they were all blurry for 2 days.  I still have some work to do on the photography side of things.  Grandma and Grandpa Loehfelm arrived on Tuesday, March 12th and we had an awesome time!  The weather could not have been better and I haven't spent that much time with them in quite a while.  George was pumped to meet them and I think we made the most of it.  We hung out at the house Tuesday night and Wednesday while everyone got situated and the weather brightened up. By Thursday, we went for a walk and brought George to the Grocery store for the first time.  Shorts and a t-shirt were all that was needed.  We returned home and it was so nice we decided to take a ride to Red Rocks Amphitheater to see some of the beauty.  A nice day for a drive and a nice day to be out and about.  After we got home and relaxed for a bit, we grilled some burgers and called it a night.

Being Good in the Stroller at the Zoo


We were lucky enough to have a 75 degree day on Friday as well and took advantage by going to the zoo.  We met our friends Eric, Jen, and their 2 1/2 year old Mazie.  George was great and slept pretty much the entire time we were there.  Soon enough he'll enjoy the animals.  I did.   There will be plenty more as time goes on.  We got a family pass for the summer and will most likely be spending many afternoons there.  Thanks Mom!   Below is a link to an album of the animals we saw if you're interested.

 After the zoo, we went back home and relaxed for a bit before I had to go to work Friday night.  It was a promo for ONE ROQ Vodka and Courtney was able to come with me while Grandma and Grandpa babysat!  It was a little tough at first as it was Courtney's first time away from George.  She did great and was able to enjoy herself.  Out.  For the first time in awhile.  It was only about 2 hours that we were gone and I think that was plenty long enough.


Saturday was a long day of work for me from 1 until about 10:30 PM.  Courtney, George, Grandma and Grandpa went to Littleton for dinner at an old friend of Grandma's.  They brought home some leftover lasagna for me and it sounds like everyone had a good time!  They bought some pretty cool dinosaur outfits for George.

Mom and George in St. Patrick's Day Hat
 Sunday was St. Patrick's Day and I went to the store in the morning and made my best(and first) effort at Corned Beef and Cabbage.  I think it turned out pretty good.  We had some visitors for dinner and watched a lot of basketball and hockey.  Matt, Nichole, and Sebastian were over...along with Paul, Emily, and Averie and Cody and Jessa.  George had on his green and even rocked the hat for a bit.  Not too long though.



Monday day was pretty uneventful as George was a bit fussy and we were awaiting the arrival of Uncle Tom.  George was very excited to meet him!  Uncle Tom was in Jackson Hole, WY for a wedding and swung by Denver for a few days before heading back to Atlanta.  It was great to have so much family here at once.  A rare occasion.  We made it work in our small house but Uncle Tom got stuck on the couch for a few nights.  He didn't mind.
Uncle Tom and George's Introduction
Tuesday was our last day and we decided to go to the aquarium.  It was pretty cool and was also mine and Courtney's first time there.  We ate lunch right when we got there and George again slept most of the time.  There are 4 tigers at the aquarium but they were not out which was a bit disappointing.  Disappointing because they call it Tiger Tuesday.  Not such a great name.  There were a lot of cool things there though and we'll be back for sure!  There were also snakes there which was unnecessary.  They don't need to be anywhere for all I care.  Here is a link to an album of aquarium pictures for those interested.

Uncle Tom


 Here are some pictures of a bath that George is really starting to enjoy!  I think you can tell from the pictures...










Some pictures of his new Pack n' Play.  He's starting to get a bit big for the bassinet and it's much easier to leave it as a co-sleeper next to the bed!












And finally, the most recent pictures of George doing some tummy time on Mom's chest.  He's really getting the hang of lifting up his head on his own!  Enjoy...







Big Smiles!








 The end....for now
