Saying Goodbye to Colorado

So, after a few weeks of living without Jeff in Denver, we decided to pack up and go to Missouri to try and see Jeff more and see our families.

Before we left, I snapped a few pictures around our house so we could remember our little house in Colorado that we lived in for eight months. It definitely wasn't my favorite place we've lived, but it worked out for the time we were there and it was definitely the cheapest place we could find that would fit us and our stuff. Hey, a home is what you make of it, right?

Our living room looking from the doors into our backyard.

Our small, sort of messy kitchen!

This is looking at the living room from the kitchen. The gray curtains in the back lead out to the backdoor.

The half-bath downstairs

Here's our welcome wreath we hang in each of our homes.

Here's looking at our front door. We installed a peep hole in the door when we moved in because was  really only one window that looked out onto the front and it was upstairs, so you couldn't see much.

Our tiny guest room getting ready to be packed up. Ironically, we had a ton of visitors stay here in such a small room during the short time we were here.

Here's our laundry nook upstairs. You couldn't even fit doors around it, so we just had curtains to close if we wanted to cover it up.

The master bedroom as we were packing up our bags.

The only full bath in our house. It had a door leading into our room and out towards the laundry nook. Sort of a strange set up, but it worked for the short time we were there.

Boone's room is on the right and the master bedroom is on the left. We stored all of Boone's books on this bookshelf so he had easy access to them.

Boone's room!

So, there you have it! Our small little home in Colorodo! While we didn't live in Colorado very long, we have great memories from our time there. I could see moving back there sometime in the future, but for now, onto our Missouri nomad adventures!

February Family Visit (Part 1)

Both our parents are so faithful in making trips to wherever we land. They always have been that way, although I think their eagerness picked up a bit after a certain Boone showed up. So I wasn't surprised when both sides made plans to come up in February. The Robertsons were first, and they actually came up the first weekend we were in our house. Which made for a pretty uneventful trip for them, unfortunately. They mostly helped us unpack, put away and clean our new house. We were so thankful for all their hard work though. They really did get so much done for us in such a short period of time. Carol took most of the pictures the weekend they were here, so full credit goes to her for all these next couple of pictures.

So... our house is too small for all of our stuff. So a lot of the extra stuff has ended up in our garage. That being said, we have less stuff than the average family with one child. We move roughly every year and a half, so we really do live pretty simply. I promise, I know it looks like we are hoarders, but we really aren't! 

Jeff had Boone "helping" him fix things around our house all weekend.

We had a long list of things that needed to get done around the house and Carol grabbed a picture of my list!

Carol and Bruce visited right after Carol's birthday, so we had a few birthday gifts for her.

Boone is getting a lot better at navigating stairs, but we have a nice big staircase in the middle of our house that he loves to play around.

Boone's bookshelf. This kid LOVES books. Like really, really 

loves books and his collection is getting pretty extensive.

Watching the Olympic opening ceremonies. I love the Olympics and Jeff likes watching the events with me and Boone has even gotten into it a bit this year.

Moving is always hard, but it was especially difficult with Boone this time. It takes a lot of time to clean and sort a whole house, so it was great to have Carol and Bruce with us that first week. Another move-in is complete and I am thankful for that!

Until next time,

The Colorado Robertsons
