The month of July has offered very little time to update everyone on all that has been going on. Besides the fact that I doubled up on my master's degree classes, we had many guests and opportunities for fun. July has really flown by (which also means I'll be back at work soon!) Here is an update of how the month flew by:
The end of June ushered our first guests since this past April when Mary and her boyfriend, Andy, came in to town. With the birth of ADORABLE, Lovable, and Huggable Carson, the Brock family has quickly purchased plane tickets to behold his greatness. Tim and I were able to host Mary and Andy while they explored Colorado and got to know the baby.
Just about the time that Mary and Andy came in to town, Debbie (my mother-in-law and proud grandma) also flew in. She was a blessing for Michelle and welcome company for the rest of us. Mary and Andy left on Friday. This gave us two days to clean the whole apartment before our next round of guests, Autumn and Daniel, came in town. Well...actually, they caught a pinch of my flying luck and didn't make it to Denver until Tuesday morning. Below are some pictures from the fun had while they were here: 
Daniel's cousin works as an assistant coach for the Denver Nuggets. He was able to get us behind the scenes and into the Nuggets locker room. Tim was in heaven!
The next day, we took them (along with friends, Chris and Lisa) to a Rockies fireworks game. This picture illustrates how high up we were.
Yep...we were the very TOP row.
Being that high up did allow us to get a pretty awesome skyline picture of the city. Later there were fireworks (pictured at beginning), the height did not work to our advantage there!
On the 4th we took Autumn and Daniel out to Red Rocks...it was nice and hot for that hike!
These rocks still amaze me!
We also took them up to Dinosaur Ridge to see some real dinosaur tracks! Later we went to Matt and Michelle's for a 4th of July cookout (yes, cookout...not barbecue.) Carson was looking handsome as ever!
The end of the month brought our last guest for a while, a cute blond named Satchmo. We watched Satchmo for Chris and Lisa. He and Rocky became fast friends. They enjoyed taking naps together and fighting over the same toys. 
July has gone by too quickly! We are now about to venture back to South Carolina for an extended week of visiting and then it's back to work...for both of us! :(
