Saturday

Had a busy day yesterday. The apartment we are living in is a vacation rental and the owner had already booked this weekend with some other guests. We had to pack up the whole shibang and move out until Monday afternoon. Jennifer stayed in Grand Junction and Meredith and I made the trip back to Gunnison. It was hard leaving- Meredith cried for 15 minutes while we left. She knows we need to be there to take care of her little sister. Jennifer reports that Delaney is doing pretty good. She hasn't gained much weight over the last week and the doctors would like to start working on that. Sounds like that will entail more supplements added to Mom's milk. If any of you happen to talk to her, make sure she is taking good naps while we're away.

We've been busy since we've been back in Gunnison taking care of a few chores around the house and figuring out what we'll need to bring back to Grand Junction on Monday. The timing was very good, however, because Meredith was able to go to her friend Josie's birthday party in Crested Butte this morning. She was just as excited to see her friends as they were to see her. I was able to go for a nice walk with my Annie dog and play ball with her. The first thing we did when we got back to town was go kidnap Annie from the Zadra's. It's going to be hard leaving her again for another undetermined period of time (even though we know she's in good hands). My advice for the day: take a moment to love on your pets; they're some of the best friends you probably have.

It's good to be in Gunnison for a few days, but already seems like we've been gone for years. For all of you that I've talked to since I've been in town- thanks for all the kind words & support.
