More special visitors

This past weekend, more visitors made a special trip to Denver to meet Austin.  My dad, his wife, Michelle, and my grandmother (BB), came to town.  Austin is BB's first great-grandchild so she was very excited to meet the little guy.  BB stayed at our house for the three nights they were in town and my dad and Michelle stayed at a hotel.  On Thursday night we grilled fajitas at home since they arrived at our house close to dinner time.  On Friday, we spent most of the day at our house just hanging out with Austin and eating some of the wonderful leftover food that friends have brought us for lunch.  BB even watched Austin while David and I went to deal with my car that was in the shop.

 Hi BB!

Hi Pop!

On Friday night, we took Austin out to dinner for the first time.  We ended up on Pasquini's patio after trying to go to the Cherry Cricket (they did not have big tables on their patio and we can't have the little guy exposed to germs in a crowded restaurant).  He did great - slept the whole time.  It was his first time to sit at the bar, at only 2.5 weeks.

Chilin' at the bar

On Saturday, we took BB to the country club for brunch while my dad, Michelle, and Michelle's son, Stephen, toured breweries in Ft Collins (it was Stephen's 21st birthday).  While trying to leave for brunch (David was already at the club hitting balls), Austin had a crying fit and also spit up all over himself.  After changing his diaper and his outfit, we were only about 20 minutes late to brunch.  I think every parent should be allowed a 20-minute late pass when trying to get places with small children.  That afternoon, BB was super great-grandmother and watched Austin while I napped for almost 2 hours!  Saturday night we went out to eat dinner at the Buckhorn Exchange (Denver's oldest restaurant established in 1893) to celebrate Stephen's birthday.  Again, Austin did well and slept most of the time.  Too bad he can't see far enough yet to take in all of the antlers and animal heads on the walls of the restaurant.  It was a steak and wild game place.  Thanks Dad and Michelle for a nice celebratory dinner! Here are a few more pictures from the weekend.  We were sad to see them leave, but hope to see them in October when we go to Houston.
