The kids at Estes Park:
Judy returns
An early start from Denver this morning and she was here in Santa Fe by 2:30. Nice she could be there with the kids and the baby. Nice to have her back here with me. All the family in Colorado is doing fine. Taylor is almost 14 and is interested in boys. She went on her first date, a double date to the movies, with mom chaperoning. Tony is almost 10. They won their first soccer game of the year four-zip. Teigan is five and believes in capital punishment (if you cross her)(she also believes in pre-emptive strikes). Alex is three. He went on a trip to Estes Park with Becky, Brian and family while Matt and Kari went to the hospital to have the new baby. Alex wants to teach the new baby how to tackle. Conner is two and starting to really express himself. The new baby makes six. That’s a lot of kids; a joyful noise.
Santa fe
House finches, canyon towhees, robins, say’s phoebes. Curve-billed thrashers in song. Ravens soaring. Mountain bluebirds. And several scaled quail sightings. Found a high point in a canyon with white-throated swifts. A flock of american avocets at a pond’s edge.
Along the way
The long-billed curlew.
