Photo of the Day: Garden of the Gods
To answer Saturday’s question about what landmark we visited in Colorado … it was Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. Although the nice weather brought out crowds of people, I enjoyed the short hikes and the lack of that overwhelming feeling that comes with visiting a large National Park and barely having time to scratch the surface of it.

Can you name this landmark? My husband and I were so blessed that when we visited last week, it was in the 60s. I’m pretty sure they have snow on the ground and sub-zero temps this week.

Photo of the Day: Denver Christmas Lights
During our Thanksgiving trip to Denver last week, we went to the downtown lighting ceremony and walked around the nearby shops while admiring the Christmas lights. The Denver event is nothing like the Country Club Plaza lighting in Kansas City in terms of scale, beauty, and crowds, but I actually enjoyed the low-key evening. It was picture-perfect, don’t you think?
Photo of the Day: Who Knew?
On our Thanksgiving road trip to Colorado, we took a detour to explore this impressive formation. How many of you knew there was something like this–something other than flat land–in Western Kansas? Can anyone name this site?
Photo of the Day: Great Friends
I’m still catching up on photo editing after returning from several days in Colorado. We stayed with another couple also expecting their first little one. I can’t thank them enough for the friendship we’ve built over the last couple of years and their hospitality while we crashed their house for three days.
Photo of the Day: Fifteen Weeks to Go
I won’t be posting photos this week, because we’re so busy with Thanksgiving plans. Hopefully I’ll have some great photos to share after the holiday. In the meantime, here’s a 25-week baby bump photo. Only 15 weeks until we get to meet our little one!
Photo of the Day: Bright Fall Leaves
It feels more like winter than fall in the Midwest, and just about all of the leaves have fallen from the trees. My husband and I are braving the frigid weather to rake our leaves before snowfall, in an attempt to help our new grass grow. Here are some brilliant red leaves from before they all fell.
Photo of the Day: 365 Day Throwback
I took family portraits for the Dill family about a year ago. It was much warmer that day than it is today! Here’s a fun photo I never shared.
