Sweet Moments with Amity

I love that Aaron plays the guitar and Amity loves to watch him in amazement. She even tried to strum some tunes herself this week as we sat her in front of the guitar while Aar was playing.


Aaron has been gone a lot recently which has been hard on all of us. He's doing great things for his school and robotics club, but having him gone is hard: No way around that. This however, is one of my favorite memories the two of them share. The video quality is poor as it was taken on my iPhone, but the sentiment of "Tickle Bug"is loud and clear. :)

Our dear friend T.J. recently opened up the best coffee shop in town. Best? Yes! Looking for great coffee? You have to stop in! It's called John Galt Coffee, Co. and it's housed in the Atlas Theater right off 16th St. and 7th Ave. Amity and I stop in for an outing every now and then and yesterday morning, Aaron had work off, so we all went to grab a cup o' Joe and mingle with some friends!

Here's Ami with sweet Lucy and Branson:


Sweet girl has a beautiful laugh that makes a room light up.


See what I mean? Love her so much!

She has also become quite the talker lately. Our ride home lent itself to more videos, just because...

Amity's Big Debut in Album Art!

We have fantastic friends. Tim Coons, a local, amazing, and inspirational song-writer and artist hosted a project recently for his latest album. In essence, he asked a bunch of his artsy friends to take pictures that would go along with a song he posted from the album, each week in July, that he might be able to use for album art after the album is released. It was a huge hit. I watched as literally dozens of images flooding my instagram feed all hashtagged with Potomacproject, the name of his new album. Here's a great article written on Tim and his sweet wifey that was in the Tribune just a week or so ago now. http://www.greeleytribune.com/news/1605296-113/tim-betony-greeley-music The really exciting thing, which as soon I found out, brought me to tears, is that one of my images, and further, an image I took of Amity made it into the top 8 of his favorites and will be featured in the first 100 special cased albums. Here's the sweet picture of her you will be happy t

One of the Hardest Weeks

Life isn't fair sometimes. This past Friday night, I started getting ready for bed by doing my usual Facebook, Pinterest, and Email checking as Amity and Aaron were winding down for sleep. As I was reading, I noticed a lot of people were commenting on an old friend of mine's wall, writing things about how much he will be missed and how great of a man he was. I was stopped. Gasping aloud, I burst into tears as I then found myself reading a post my childhood pastor made about how my friend, Jeff Ipsen had passed away due to an accident back-country-skiing with his brother and two friends. How could this be? This month has felt so difficult in so many ways and for a life so young, active, and wonderful to be gone from this world, just left me feeling uneasy and alone. Jeff and I were pretty close when I was in high school. Growing up going to youth group together, I remember my friend Sarah and I, both a year older than Jeff, immediately made up the name "Jefe"

Giggling, Smiling, and Growing Up So Quickly!

We went and paid a visit to my Grandma, Amity's Great-Grandma Rusho, this week and had a nice lunch out in Windsor. When we got back, we played and Grandma showed Ami the little doll she had recently finished crocheting a dress for. As you can see in the video, Amity thought the doll, and Grandma were a hoot and she laughed for the very first time! We were so thankful we remembered to bring the camera and caught as much of the giggles as we could! Since then, she has laughed one more time, last night, after spending a weekend with Nana and Papi (my parents) down in Parker. Aaron and I were out, shooting a wedding on Saturday, and Nana and Papi took great care of her. It was a long day for us all on Sunday as Amity was up every couple of hours Saturday night, and Aaron and I only arrived back from the wedding to head to bed sometime just before 1am. She was wide awake and ready for the day by 7am, which neither of us technically were,
