Welcome to the Hotel Colorado

Here are some snapshots to capture our weekend in Glenwood celebrating Mary’s birthday. Enjoy!

   

Are you ready for some Football?

Two things that Lia will definitely be a fan of…Skiing and the Broncos! This summer we had the opportunity to observe Bronco’s pre-season training camp, and Lia seemed to really engage.

Pep talk: “Lia, are you ready to watch some football?”

Definitely paying attention right?!

Maybe sitting upright will get her to focus on the action?

Or being in the arms of a player?

Looks like we can count on her sleeping through the games as to not interrupt our football passion. :)

Maybe next year she’ll want to watch and cheer. For now she can look cute in her Bronco’s onesie! We are ready for some football. Can’t wait for the first tailgate.

Dedicated

And this we pray… 2 Timothy 3:15-17.

”From infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. ¹⁶All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

Last weekend we were able to dedicate Lia to the Lord. What a special day in our lives and in hers. My mom had saved the dress I was Christened in when I was her age. Thanks to all of you for helping to create another fabulous memory with family and friends.

Baby Cousin Tegan!

On July 13th our family celebrated the much anticipated birth of precious baby Tegan. She arrived with much excitement and even more hair! In true Reitsema fashion, we filled the waiting room with people, laughter, food, and love. What an incredible gift to see our family continue to multiply. Here are some pictures her debut!!

 

Lex is so ready to hold baby sister…practicing here in waiting room with Lia.

  

Proud Dad!

 

                        

Couldn’t help but admire her!

   

We are overwhelmed with joy to welcome the newest baby girl in the family. Congrats M and A! You are dearly loved. Can’t wait to watch them grow together.

A Feminine Touch!

After discovering we had a baby girl, we were able to add some details to the nursery. Here is the finished product. As far as we can tell, she loves her room. She’s been sleeping in it 8-10 hour a night…must be the soothing colors :).

 

Bumbo!

She may still have some growing to do before fully taking advantage of the Bumbo seat; however, 8 weeks was a great opportunity to try it out. Great neck control little peanut! She seemed to enjoy the experience.

Take me out to the Ball Game!

To celebrate Josh’s first Father’s Day, we took Lia to the Rockies game. We were fortunate to have front row seats, beautiful weather, and an extremely content baby girl! It’s sad to admit, but yes, we propped Lia on top of the dugout and made her do the twist to land a spot on the jumbo screen. The camera man must have been unaware of our efforts. She never made the big screen, but we sure had fun dancing!

 

“We’re all tied up…watching closely for the top of the 9th”

“Seriously Rockies, you let 4 runs through in the last inning…what kind of defense is that?”

Best seat in the stadium…Dad’s lap.

Happy Father’s Day Josh! You are an incredible dad!
