Colorado Springs & Nashville

Last week Christine and I went to Colorado Springs and Nashville to visit family.
At my Mom's in Nashville went to see Steve Martin play banjo, he's pretty good.

In Colorado we went to Christine's brothers. I got to spend a 5 days with our nephew Ethan. He's almost 2 years old. It was quite the learning experience. I've been really worried about raising a child. But to see Mike and Mallory with Ethan, and their routine, I have been comforted. I know it will be difficult at first, big changes, no sleep, puke, poop, crying and a big mess at birth, but it will lead to a wonderful time with a child that will rely on us for everything.

I will probably even miss the times when we can set our baby somewhere, and she's still there when I look back at her.

We also went on a really cool hike at Glen Erie. It's a place that has a trail that after a couple miles leads to a waterfall.

And then we went home.
