Are we there yet?

Our last week was spent trekking 2200 miles through 5 western states, mostly with the kids in tow. Ryan and Christian had a conference in Montrose, CO and a church-planter retreat which included wives in Nederland so we packed into the Cryder's Excursion and tried to enjoy the ride. The kids stayed with their grandparents in Bailey for part of the week and even got to hang with their uncles Dirk and Nick. All in all they did well in the car, though Asher's just at a tough age because he's not really interested in coloring or watching a movie, but he knows he does not what to be in the carseat. It reminded me of our marathon 5000 mile trip last year. The mountain foliage was incredible, but the best scenery moment was the giant harvest moon coming over the SW Rockies at sunset. Truly incredible.

Ryan and Rachel,
You have the cutest little boys! The things you mention that Bridger says are great. My baby boy is almost 5 months old. I am trying to appreciate this age by getting to take care of him 100% because I know that independent time is around the corner. Keep the stories and the pictures coming. Congrats on your upcoming addition!!!
