Colorado Family Pics!

Here we are! This is the growing Coutant fam...we're up to 8!

Coutants in Estes Park

We left the Fergusons in Colorado Springs and made our way to Estes Park to meet up with my family for the week. Dan was so excited to see Grandpa, Grandmommy, Uncle Jason, Aunt Laura, and Katy. I captured a "polo moment" with Dan and Grandpa...couldn't resist.

We stayed in a great house while in Estes Park. In the afternoons, Dan usually found his way into the sink for some fun in the water. He was so cute in there!

We all spent alot of time on this fabulous porch. We had a view to the mountains and the weather was wonderful. Dan and I had fun one afternoon...I even got some sweet hugs.

We all enjoyed venturing into town. Here we stopped for a lunch break by a fountain.

One morning we drove up to Bear Creek for a hike with the little ones. Dan waited with Daddy for the shuttle to pick us up.

Bear Creek. Joe found his way out to this rock.

Our family.

Dan loved the "hike".

We took a cable car up to the top of a mountain. There were alot of chipmunks to feed. Daddy and Dan found quite a comfy spot to feed and observe them.

A view from the top. Jason and Joe are great with the kiddos.

On the way up! What do you see Dan???

We had such a good time escaping the heat and spending time with all of the family in Colorado. We miss you all so much!!!

Colorado Springs

After leaving Ohio, we headed to Colorado to visit the wonderful Fergusons before meeting up with the Coutants in Estes Park! Aunt Addie, Uncle Jeromy, Lucie and little Jeromy were tons of fun.
In this pic, Lucie enjoyed her new apron that we had fun making one afternoon.


On Saturday morning we all headed to the Colorado Springs farmers market. It was absolutely wonderful! In addition to the fabulous produce and fresh baked goods, the kiddos loved dancing to the music with bubbles! Here Aunt Addie danced with Dan...so fun!

Lucie and Dan were fascinated with the music and observed all the dancing with delight.

Picnic time with Gra-Mere. Yum-O!

Sweet Lucie.

Many afternoon were spent outside on the deck at the Fergusons. The littles loved the pool. Here Dan is "feeling his oats" as he plays with his very own spoon! :)

More pool time fun!

We also made our way to a great park not far from the house. Daddy and Dan had a blast.

Dan and little Jer loved the wood chips....yummy.

Want some???

Our visit with the Fergusons was wonderful!

Hello and Goodbye to Ohio

Together with Daddy again!!!!

Dan was so happy to be reunited with Joe after being separated for two and a half weeks! Joe went to Columbus, Ohio for a month-long seminar for teachers on literature from Chaucer to Milton. Dan and I stayed in Tulsa for the first part of his seminar and recently came to Columbus for the last week and a half of the seminar. We're SO happy to be back together as a family again.

There is a fabulous park and pool by our apartment and we have been going there daily. Dan loves to be outside. Here are some shots of him hanging out by the pool. (Dan is 8 months old now.)

This picture was taken in an old German town in Columbus. It is complete with German bakeries, houses, and accents. There was a wonderful park in the middle of it and Dan loved the fluffy, soft grass.

We are saying goodbye to Ohio tomorrow and making our way to Covington, Louisiana to be with Joe's family. We've enjoyed our time and adventures in Columbus. This is the summer of travels!

Katy and Dan have had such a great time playing together. Here is a peek into their friendship!

New Video!

Happy 4th! This is a little glimpse of our picnic in the park.

Happy 4th of July!

To start off our 4th of July, Dan and I went with my parents to the park for a picnic. Dan loved being outside and was fascinated with all of the flowers and squirrels!

Last week Katy came over to play. As you can see, they both loved the basket full of toys and were like-minded on where those toys should go.

"We love Grandmommy!"

Hugs from Katy are the best!
