A Wyoming Weekend

Hi Everyone! Thought I would share some pictures of our weekend trip to the Hall Ranch in Wyoming. Even though Joe & I have lived in beautiful Colorado for almost 5 years, Wyoming will always be home to us. I think Gabi got the idea when we belted out "Ragtime Cowboy Joe" as we drove across the state line. It is her favorite song, by the way :-)!

Gabi meets a little lamb! It was too cold to go see all of the calves -- maybe next time!

Lounging in her lawn chair. This is part of a picnic table set -- umbrella, table, and 2 chairs -- too cute!

Gabi was all about opening presents at the baby shower held in her honor on Saturday. Thanks to all that attended and especially to Marie & Natalie, the hosts! It was great to see everyone!

Joe loved the little Dora dress he received -- hee hee! It will fit perfect, don't you think? (Sorry Joe, I couldn't resist!)

Have a great week! Love, Joe, Tara & Gabi

Springtime In Colorado!

The weather in Golden has been beautiful this past week. The trees are greening up, the daffodils are blooming, and the meadowlarks are singing away. Gabi and I have really enjoyed getting out for a long walk each day to see all of the new beginnings (and celebrating our own!)

Gabi liked riding in her backpack, but slept most of the way while hiking on South Table Mountain near our house.

"I know my pants are too big, Daddy, but you didn't have to pull them up to my armpits!"

We went to two BBQs this past weekend -- one at Char & Jason's and another at Brian & Julia's. Did I mention Spring is in the air? Gabi did great at both of them and was quite entertained by all of her new friends. She was being so silly in the picture above. She still really likes the word "salsa" and giggles whenever we say it (especially Joe). Thanks you all for the great food and company!

We're headed to the ranch this weekend, so check back next week for pictures of Gabi with the calves and lambs and of the celebration being hosted by Marie Miller and Natalie Maxwell in her honor!

Love,

Joe, Tara & Gabi

Gabriela is doing well!

Hello everyone! Thought we would share a few pictures from the past week. Gabi really is doing great -- she is so happy and content. She seems to be growing by the minute and is doing really well sitting up by herself now, even with her brace on. We went to see a hip specialist yesterday and he said that she needs to wear it all the time for 4 more weeks and then she can just wear it at night! Yea! We're going to the pediatrician tomorrow and Joe & I are taking bets on how much she weighs -- our little chunk!

The shirt says it all! We feel truly blessed.

Daddy's Girl!

Bath time Bubbles!

Good Morning Sunshine!

Hope you all are doing well and you got your taxes done! :) Our best to all of you!

Love,
Joe, Tara & Gabi

More Visitors!

Hello! We thought we would share some photos of Gabi's visitors this past weekend! We were all in great spirits. We cannot believe how fast she is changing -- she amazes us with the things she learns how to do each day.

Enjoying Life!

Hello! We have had a great week at the newly expanded Hall household. We are easing into somewhat of a schedule, but most of all, having fun. Here are the highlights of our week:

• Finding Gabi's tickle spot on her tummy and hearing her wonderful laugh!


• Swimming with new buddy, Lily


• Cruising around Golden in her jogging stroller and paying a visit to the KL&A office!


• Hearing from her pediatric orthopedist that her hip is doing great! She still has to wear the brace (probably for 6 more weeks), but it is stable and much improved from when she was diagnosed.


• Spending time as a family and enjoying life!

We're looking forward to having Grandpa Gary, Grandma Mary, and Great Gramma Dot visit this weekend.

Love to you all,

Joe, Tara, & Gabi

Visitors!

The grandkids

Aunt Amanda, Uncle Greer, & Gio -- he is such a silly and fun boy!

Brian, Julia, Griffin, & Lily stopped by on Saturday. Lily is 3 months older than Gabi. Lily was born on my birthday and Gabi was born on Julia's birthday! We will have lots of play dates this summer. We've also had visits from Jason, Char, Erica and met neighbors Tom & Mary today! This is quite fun to be surrounded by great people!

Our little flower child! Peace out.

Love,
Joe, Tara, & Gabi

Baptism

Gabriela was Baptized this morning at St. Joseph's Church in Golden. She did really well! It was such a special day for all of us. Grandma Mary made her Baptism gown. Uncle Greer and Aunt Amanda are her Godparents. Grandma Joyce, Grandpa Dave, cousin Gio, and Greer's mom, Roxanne, joined in our celebration. We are so thankful for their love of Gabriela.

With Greer, Amanda, & Gio
