Month February 2005

February 26, 2005 :: After hours of plaintiff crying we allowed Cricket and Crenshaw to take a peek around outside and survey the new landscaping.  

February 25 2005 :: When I heard the news I couldn’t wait to put up something pink – in honor of the newest Fenstermacher. We can’t wait to meet you! 

February 25:: yesterday I welcomed a box from Red Envelope containing a painters can filled with all things calm (Thanks to Chris). I happened to be looking through the Perfect Package book a few days earlier and hadn’t yet put… Continue Reading →

Mark had to go to Dallas yesterday:: D.I.A. has great signs up to help you remember where you are. I wonder if anyone wants to park on floor one – probably not the little stick figure on the bottom. 🙂 

February 20 :: Early morning the coyotes amble down the fairway.

February 19th :: Shiver me timbers. As soon as Meara comes to Boulder, the Captain shows up thousands of miles from the nearest port

February 17th – The landscapers came this week to put in borders around the different areas and put weedblockers

February 14, 2005 :: Happy Valentines Day from Colorado! 

Mandy enjoys her favorite drink as Kevin and Pam look on.

Mark and Mandy dust off the single-time swing (“One, two, backstep… one, two, backstep…”

Four fine ladies… and a fog machine

Abbamania! A quick weekend in Montana for the big event with Heather, Robb and of course Pam and Kevin!

Off to Montana (Our Drive to Denver) for Abba-Mania – be prepared for some crazy photos on Sunday! 😉 

Training for the snowshoeing challenge later in the month, Mark stares down the mountains. Stupid oxygen deficit…quoth mark

When Mandys away, the geeks will play! Mark spent last night getting the rack mount server up and running and the networking and phone more neatly arranged. Next project – home video distribution.quoth mark

River Rocks and Boulders gather outside our house awaiting further instructions. Even a 4×4 can’t park on these!quoth mark

February 6, 2005 :: Superbowl! We headed to the local liquor store last night, Union Jacks to stock up on beer for the big game! Mark felt right at home. 

February 5, 2005 :: Taking a walk through the neighborhood – this is Thunder Lake Park – an eating area constructed from rock – little like the flinstones! Our house is right behind my head – Big Red!  

February 4, 2005 :: We found a touch of California right around the corner. Lots are available … with actual Mountain Views. 🙂  

Sun bathing beauty … Cricket does what she does best! 

Beware the sleeping tiger… 

February 3, 2005 :: 99 Red Balloons :: or just one… a red hot air balloon floated by my window one morning. The winter tree was waving as he floated by.  

February 2, 2005 :: Ground Hogs Day 

February 1, 2005 :: Sunrise. After a few days of snow, we woke up to blue skies. You can see part of our landscaping (mud-scaping right now) but the patio is in, and a few trees.
