We have continued to be busy since the holidays.  We went to Denver one weekend in early January and saw the T-Rex exhibit.  Cameras were not allowed in the exhibit, so, I can only try to describe what we saw there.  There were life size robotic dinosaurs; a T-Rex, triceratops and some velociraptors!  Andrew was very afraid at first, they seemed so real he was worried they would hurt him.  We explained that they were robots and he felt more at ease.  He was completely enthralled and wanted to talk about everything he knew about dinosaurs.  He was also allowed to touch some dinosaur bones and we attended a melodrama all about dinosaur bones.  He sat upfront and answered some questions.  We decided that our boys like the Denver Museum of Nature and Science so much that we became members.  We will try to go back a few more times this year.

Also, in January we went for a quick trip to Nebraska to visit my parents and grandparents.  I am 33 years old and all four of my grandparents are still alive.  What a blessing!  None of them travel anymore, however, so, we try to make it back to Nebraska as much as possible.  The boys do well during the visits, even at the assisted living home. 

We have finally had a couple snowfalls.  The boys, especially Henry, love to play outside in the snow.  Ryan claims he also enjoys scooping the sidewalk, so, I get to play while he works! 

We will be having some visitors from Ryan's family this upcoming weekend.  I look forward to utilizing our finished basement and having a full house.
