Colorado ~ Mexico

These past 2 1/2 weeks we have been busy traveling. After ourtrip to South Dakota we conducted a sale in Syracuse, IN and than headed out to Colorado to a consignment auction we conducted in the Denver area. We were home for 3 days and than off to sunny Mexico we escaped for a little sun and relaxation!

Graduation

This past weekend we made another trip to South Dakota for my sister, Ashley’s graduation. She graduated with a Nursing degree from the University of South Dakota.

We had a terrific time and this added another 1420 miles to Barrett’s already 4100 miles he traveled since he was born. We are really lucky that he doesn’t mind to travel, as soon as he is in a vehicle he is sleeping. Train them young I guess.

Barrett has been doing great and will be 3 months old in just a few days. It is hard to believe how fast time has flown by. At his last check up he weighed 12.8 lbs and 20.75 inches. He is staring to smile and coo which is a ton of fun. He loves to lay on the couch and watch the ceiling fans.  He also loves his baths and makes sure he gets as much water out of the tub as possible.

**Stayed tuned in for pictures from our busy summer, Barrett is going to become a great traveler. We have auctions in Colorado, Tennessee, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois. We also will be taking a trip to Mexico and back to Colorado for a wedding. **
