until we meet again...

i got to spend some time playing this morning in grammie and gampa's backyard before heading back to denver. i enjoyed my time here in albquerque and i'm looking forward to coming back soon.

friends and family

my time in albuquerque was filled with visits. it was the first time my family and friends in albuquerque got to see me. they were all so excited. i met one new face after another. i have never been held by so many people in one evening. i especially like being held by my great grandmothers. they have been waiting and praying for me to arrive for a long time. the only people not pictured here are people from grammie's work. mommy used to work in the same place so they have all been awaiting my arrival. of course, mommy and daddy forgot to bring in the camera during that visit.

best view in the house

this morning before getting ready for church, i saw more balloons right off the back patio of grammie and gampa's house. a wonderful view from the comforts of home.

my first balloon fiesta

this morning at 5:15am, i ventured off with mommy, daddy, grammie, gampa and my new friend elizabeth. we had great weather and the balloons were able lift. so i got to experience my first mass ascension, which is another way of saying all the balloons take off together. imagine seeing up to 700 balloons in the air. i had a great time and we even ran into a good friend that mommy and daddy had not seen in a long time. it was a wonderful morning and one i will never forget. maybe mommy and daddy will bring me here again next year.
