Colorado

Over the Labor Day weekend Josh, Callen, and I loaded up what felt like all of Callen's belongings and boarded a plane headed to Colorado. Callen did great, which was a huge relief! During our flight we fed Callen on the way up to help with the potential pressure on his ears, we sang a few songs, and then he was out for the rest of the trip.

We had such a great time with both sides of the family. Callen was able to meet his extended family on both sides and spent some much needed time with grandparents, aunts and uncles, and cousins. Josh and I were so impressed and incredibly grateful to everyone near and far who came to meet our favorite little man.


This trip was especially hard because I realized how much I want my baby to grow up and feel like he knows his family. I want him to be good friends with his cousins, have a special bond with his aunts and uncles, and of course I want him to be surrounded with love from his grandparents.

Callen with the Little Ladies! You can tell he is well loved. Both Brooklynn and Chandler like to help feed Callen.

We so appreciate Aunt Jan and Uncle Forney making the trip to meet our little man.
