Home Run!

Today was Luke's final game of his summer baseball season. He was the final batter of the game, and he hit a HOME RUN! Talk about a grand finale to his season! Way to go, Luke! We are SO PROUD of you!

13

Wow ... somehow 13 years have flown by since the day we said, "I DO!" Our original plans to celebrate our 13th anniversary involved going to the Colorado Wine Country to tour the vineyards by riding a tandem bicycle. We joked about what we would put in the bike's basket and how much fun it would be to ride a bicycle-built-for-two. But those plans are on hold for a while, and we're focusing on that marriage vow of "in sickness and in health." We have always been a strong team, and together we're ready to brave this new chapter ahead. Cancer should know better than to mess with Team Leahy...

We have a tradition to always enjoy 

chocolate-covered strawberries on our anniversary.

Check out our 13th season of strawberries!

R&R in Salida

With a stressful past 2 weeks behind us & Scott's surgery on the horizon, we decided to skip out of town for a trip to the mountains for some R&R! With charming Salida as our destination for an overnight trip, we enjoyed the fresh mountain air and time together as a family.

 He's never met a mountain stream

This area in Colorado near Mt. Princeton

is one of our favorites!

 After all that hiking, rehydration is important!

Lunch at Eddyline Restaurant in Buena Vista.


We drove up to an old ghost town called St. Elmo,
where gazillions of chipmunks live. Check out the
videos below of Reid & Luke feeding our new
furry friends. If you look closely, the chipmunks'
cheeks are packed with seeds. Too funny!

4th of July

Happy 4th from our family to yours!

The 4th of July is one of our favorite holidays here because of all the festivities with the Monument parade & street fair. With the recent wildfires, those festivities were cancelled and fireworks were banned, but that didn't stop us from having a grand time! We enjoyed a family brunch & evening BBQ with friends.

Out for a post-brunch stroll with Papa.

 No fireworks ... but glowsticks are just as fun!
