Pawelekville: Colorado Trip 2014

In the beginning of December we took a trip to Denver with Joe, Casey and Madeleine to visit Eli.

She is currently working towards getting her Masters Degree in Theology at the Augustine Institute.

First flight with three kiddos. We were very prepared. I had it all planned out and I knew it would go smoothly. First step, Michael was going to drop me off with the bags and babies, and I would wait for him to go park with the two littles strapped down in the double stroller. Everything under control. He pulled out the stroller, and behold, it was missing a wheel. I quickly consumed my slice of humble pie and moved on to the non-existent plan b. But it was ok, we somehow quickly made it to security, only to find out that we didn't have the right documentation for the lap children. We went back to the ticketing counter, and got that all sorted out only to come back to an incredibly long line at security that had formed in our absence.

This little one was super angry, and super hungry.

Next step, the flight. We found an empty row in the very back and got all set up to hunker down with our little family of 5 to make it work all together. All was peachy until we were informed that we could not have two lap children in one row and we would need to split up. Oh shoot. Caroline and I moved across the way and we all got through it.

Sleeping baby, do. not. move. a. muscle.

It was exhausting, but we made it!

When we go there we met up with Elizabeth and got to tour her school. We are SO proud of this girl and the special way in which she is dedicating her life to Christ and furthering His kingdom.

We spent the rest of our trip visiting nearby ski villages enjoying the scenery, snow, good food and great company!! Colorado is absolutely breath-taking. The beauty of the mountains stir my soul and leave me in absolute awe of our Creator. I think Cora feels the same way...
