Our little Red Hot Chili Pepper

Huxley's first halloween costume

Happy Four Months Birthday, Huxley

Huxley is four months old

Huxley Stylin'

I am trying to upload pictures that Katherine has sent me since I left Idaho. Not sure if this is one or not, but he sure is cute.

This is one I know I have received since my return to Florida. Since Gabe is in the eye wear business, I am sure Huxley will have many opportunities to try out the latest fashions in sun glasses.

I love this video of Huxley that Katherine sent to us. I love that he is clearly trying to verbalize a response to her questions and comments. Kath says he'll be skiing before we know it, but clearly he will be talking soon too. Not sure the video is working correctly. Still not clear on what to do to fix it. 

Home sweet new home

Katherine and Gabe's new home. The first change Gabe plans to make is to take the star down. 

Before the fires started, Katherine and Gabe had put in an offer on a house (duplex) in Ketchum. They were scheduled to close while we were away, so their banker, Maggie, another great friend and refugee we spent time with in Boise, arranged for the closing to take place in Denver. When we got back to Ketchum, Katherine  went by the house for the first time as an owner. Kath and Gabe want to do quite a bit of work on the house before they move in, so we took some pictures to document the "before" stage. One exciting feature of the house is that it has a great backyard where Hux will get to play. Gabe has been telling him all about the snowmen they will build together and the games they will play in that backyard.  I keep imagining all the flowers I will help them plant. Peonies to start!

This shows the back of the house and the backyard.

Colorado Rocky Mountain High

On Thursday we drove up to Idaho Springs, Colorado, and had lunch at a barbecue place and then we drove further up the mountain to see a glacier.

When we first started to climb the trail to the glacier, there was some steady rain, so Katherine and Gabe turned back to protect Hux, but in a few minutes, the clouds cleared, the sun came out, and we all made it to the top. 

Hux needed some nourishment before we hiked back, and Augie and Miles were perhaps more amazed by the miracle of mother's milk than they were by the glacier. 

Family and friends in Denver

On Tuesday we all took a walk together in Max and Katie's new neighborhood -  the boys - including Max and Gabe -  were all on skateboards or scooters. I am surprised none of the many skateboards, bikes or scooters can be seen in this picture. Toby the dog is missing too. 

The Schroders - Augie, Max, Miles, Katie, Gabe, Huxley, and Katherine.

Andrea's neighbors James and his mother Molly got to meet Hux too.
