TippiePics > Day 69 - Casa del Sol - Siesta time! - My mom bought this silly sombrero and I had to take a shot like this! (Okay, so I didn't really take a siesta...)

TippiePics > Day 70 (1 of 2) - Casa del Sol - I got to sleep in today. It rocked! Thanks, Chris!

TippiePics > Day 70 (2 of 2) - Casa del Sol - This is my hair. Big, huge, frizzy. I have to put a LOT Of heavy products in it to get it to look halfway decent! LOL! Yes, those are gray roots. Yikes!

TippiePics > Day 71 - Casa del Sol - I had a lot of people asking me to have some margaritas, beers, shots, wine, etc for them.... So tonight I did! Here's to you Karen, Carol, Stacie, Lynne, and everyone else that asked! Now if only I can find some bongos and a sombrero at home....

TippiePics > Day 72 - Akumal Beach - Our last full day here! While I've had a great time, I am actually ready to get home. I am sick of the heat, humidity and bug bits. But not the beer! LOL! (Everyone will think I'm a huge alcoholic after this series! I swear I'm not. *deny deny deny*

TippiePics > Day 73 - Plane - On our way home! After a HORRIFIC time at the airport - Ellie was missing for about 3 minutes/years, but was fine - the flight was very good. It's going to a long few days, but should be fine.

TippiePics > Day 74 - Evelyn's house - No clue what possessed to want to do a photoshoot the morning I got back into town, but I booked this one with a friend of mine from a message board. Her boys are just precious! (They are almost the exact same ages as my girls.) I had a great time hanging out with Evelyn and her kiddos.....

TippiePics > Day 75 - Kathyrn and Eric's house - Can we go home now? I'm SO tired, have no patience and I so sick of being gone. So sick of it. I just want to wish as hard as I can and be home again. Please? - One more day and then we can go home.

TippiePics > Day 76 (1 of 2)
Monarch Pass

Yes, it's snowing up there. Yes, it really was 26 degrees out as I took this shot. Yes, it was probably dumb, but it looks worse than it was!

But honestly, I'm not upset about the snow... LOL! I was SO ready to get out of the heat!

Home!

Yeah! I'm HOME!!! I can't tell you how awesome it feels to be here... I love where I live! (And the baths ain't bad, either!)

TippiePics > Day 77
Home

Yesterday we found out about Ellie's allergies... Long story short, we knew she was allergic to eggs and peanuts, but suspected something else. Turns out it's cats and dogs. While I'll miss Gunther, my kitty Maelstrom is going to be MUCH harder to part with. You see, Ellie's allergies are 4+ on a scale of 1 through 4. Great thing is - we FINALLY know what's going on with her allergies! Yay! (And it's treatable, for the most part. She has other bad seasonal allergies, but nothing like cat and dog.) Bummer is losing out animals.

I know there are much harder things in life, but I'm just very bummed that I'm going to be finding Maelstrom a new home.

(I know this photo is a little dark, but that's how I'm feeling right now. Who knows, maybe I'll brighten it tomorrow!)

TippiePics > Day 78 (1 of 2)
End of our street (the future Rainbow Park)

Lest you think I'm really down with my depressing photos, the girls and I had a GREAT day in this amazing place. It's in the high 40's, dry and just gorgeous today! (It was snowing yesterday.) We ran around, picked dandelions and had a great time!

End of our road

This is where I stick all the dandelions the girls give me.

TippiePics > Day 79
Washington Gulch Road

Today was glorious! Truly amazing. It's really starting to green up and get warmer. Yay!!! I think it's true what "they" say: "People come to Crested Butte for the winter, but stay for teh summer."

"In her eyes"

I often wonder how my daughters view me - or will view me when they are older. Will I be seen as the fun mom, the mom who would never put down her camera, the mom who..... I don't know.

(If you look at her eyes, you can see a bright white line and a bright triangle - that's me laying on the floor taking photos of her.)

Day 69 - Casa del Sol - Siesta time! - My mom bought this silly sombrero and I had to take a shot like this! (Okay, so I didn't really take a siesta...)
