New Mexico

We just returned from a long weekend trip to Albuquerque. We went there for the memorial of Kyle's grammie, and stayed for the weekend so we could see all our friends/family (and eat at our favorite restaurants). It was great to see so many people, and to attend our wonderful church down there.

While there, we spent all day Friday with family. I love this picture of Allie, Brett (cousin of Allie) and Grandmadaddy.

We also finally took a " cousin" picture with the girls and Brett. Allie and Shannon both are enamored by him.. as are all who meet this sweet little guy!!
After the family left, we got to spend quite a bit of time with friends, especially the Niermans. We went for a hike on Sandia while there.. Allie loved the tram ride up.


We also went to one of our favorite places, the Albuquerque zoo. They recently had some baby giraffes that were too cute.

Allie and Caleb. Caleb was her "first friend"... it was fun to see them play now that they are older. Hard to believe when we left NM, Caleb was only 9 months, and Allie 1.5 years.

Of course, a trip to the zoo is not the same if you dont have a picnic!!


Thanks to all our friends and family for a special weekend!!
