Work Conference & Vilski Visit!

Gabriel and I attended the 2011 Denver ACTFL conference this year. Last year we met in Boston, MA for the conference. This year it was close to home! Our boss was so kind (*cheap*…ahem) to put us in a trashy Ramada hotel known for its high school parties and drug-doing. Hurrah.

We met another coworker, Robyn, so that makes 2 people that I have physically seen from my company! The conference went well, and Denver is a lovely city to explore. Small, but lovely.

 

Gabriel came to visit for a few days after the conference. Maggi (Justin’s mom) watched Coen while Justin had school on Thursday and Friday so they got in some great bonding time! She said that overall Coen was good, and he didn’t seem to miss me too much when I got home. He was more excited about meeting Gabriel (or, as Coen said, Gabyrel) and playing with him. We got to enjoy the school kids’ Thanksgiving meal and we played Ticket to Ride.

We took a little trip up to the mountains to find that most roads are closed for the winter. It was verrry windy, but pretty! Coen got a wolf hat from Grandma and Grandpa Vilski. He threw a huge fit in the store, but took a nap shortly thereafter. : ) So we can blame it on sleepiness, right?
