On Saturday we attended the 37th Annual Balloon Fiesta (http://www.balloonfiesta.com/), along with our friends Jerry and Nadine. This year there were about 700 balloons. I went last year and enjoyed it so much so was glad to be able to bring Justin and Jessica this year. We got there at 5AM to watch the first set take off. They continued going until almost 11AM. It is just amazing to see all the different colors and shapes of the balloons and to be able to walk around with hundreds of balloons surrounding you.

Justin, Jes, and Caden Visit

My brother Justin, his girlfriend Jessica, and her son Caden came to Albuquerque to visit us for a few days and to meet Olivia.

We went to the Albuquerque zoo and aquarium. We rode on this train that takes you back and forth from the two.

Here is Olivia's first trip to the zoo. She had her first set of shots this morning but she did really well. She slept about the whole day and was really a trooper. I'm anxious to be able to take her when she actually knows whats going on and has fun seeing the animals!

Out like a light!

1st Anniversary

Pat and I celebrated our 1st Anniversary today. It has been a busy but wonderful year, with the highlight being becoming parents to Olivia.

Tonight we got a babysitter for Olivia (thanks again Jerry & Nadine) and went out for a nice dinner at Seasons in Old Town. Even though it's only been two months, we had kind of forgotten what it was like for just the two of us to get away. We took advantage of it and enjoyed a very nice evening out.

Pat also surprised me today with an anniversary vacation/2nd honeymoon to Costa Rica next Spring! I was shocked! I was there 10 years ago and spent 2 months at a Spanish language school and have always wanted to go back. It is such a beautiful country. Now we've been busy looking at packages and planning our trip. What a wonderful husband Pat is!

At the office

Pat and I were planning that I'd be going back to work in his office and Olivia would come along, but she has different plans. Here she's really content, but normally doesn't do so well. We even bring her bouncer and floor mat, which she loves at home, but she would rather just be held at the office. Makes it a little tough to get things done!

Bath time
