1st snow!

Drove thru a bit of the white stuff on the way to Steamboat Springs this morning + a lot of rain and the mountains have defintely made the shift to fall colors with lots of yellow popping up all over the place. Another great weekend with little Trout who is now 6 lbs 4oz, breastfeeding like a champ and threatening to come home any day now! If he continues to do well we may get to take him home on Thursday which would be dreamy. Rose and I were/are a bit freaked out at the prospect but we feel like we are fully stocked up with all the nescessities now after an expensive outing to Babies 'R Us and a huge haul of gifts from the baby shower this weekend. 20+ of Trout's aunts took Rose out to brunch and outfitted the little tyke head to toe, and gave us a sweet stroller/jogger/trailer to wheel him around in. We naively thought we were prepared for parenthood before but I'm not sure what we would have done without all our supporters and friends stepping up big time with food, clothes, help and love. Humbling and awe inspiring.
We rented a little house in Steamboat over the weekend as well so whenever Rose and Trout are ready to come out I'll be ready for them. As soon as I set up mail service I'll post our new address and this week I'm going to work on getting the place spruced up and painted. Fun! Now if someone will only buy Das Chalet we'd be almost able to pay for all this ;) When we decide to shake up the status quo we REALLY shake it up!
