The Updike's

Work trip With Garrett to Colorado.  We got to spend a couple of days at the Broadmoor.   It was absolutely beautiful!!  And a much needed rest for me! I am grateful for Garrett's good job and I am grateful that try to take care of their employees with these special retreats.   And so thankful for Garrett's parents for watching the kids while we were away!

She asked her friend Matthew Jacobsen Matthew's cute response Even though Lily was excited for this dance . . . she was also very stressed because she had to figure out the plans for everything on her own.  (and she didn't want mom's help).
