botanical gardens

This weekend we went to a fun event at the botanical gardens. It was a wine, hops, local bites, and live music. It was great chance to learn about new restaurants and breweries in Denver.  Here are a few pics to share…..

daily affirmations

I’ve been sitting through a lot of orientation stuff since I started a new job in january.  A youtube clip was shown during a session about professional development. I thought it was quite funny. A positive attitude and personal affirmation can make all the difference….

muse

I turned on our computer tonight for the the first time in since Denali chewed through the power cord. After months without a functioning laptop we finally got another power cord.

 I saw these on the desk top and thought I should post them…..pictures from the Muse concert with mom & dad vanderkwaak, back in October. It was such an amazing show!!
