Puttin' on the parka



Today, we head to Steamboat Springs, Colorado for a mini-weekend getaway. Phil is performing at a corporate gig, and Amos and I will have the chance to take in the oohs and ahs of a beautiful mountain town and ski resort.

Apparently, we are staying at a ski in / ski out hotel. That's pretty cool. It's close to the gondola.

So, I leave you with some pics of Amos getting ready for his big mountain adventure. He is trying on some great little hats that my mother knitted for him. He'll look just dandy in his hat while we pull him around in his sled!



Isn't he quite fetching? He looks a bit like a lumberjack in this one. Timber!

Here is Amos as a longshoreman. The fish are bitin'!

Did you get your Amos fix yesterday? Well, go back and look at him... Month 8.



19 beautiful people muttered something back:

Could he be sweeter? Look at those cheeks! He is darling and I loved yesterday's letter, too.

Suzanne said...

You mother is smart. Make his blue hats to show off those blue eyes.

Enjoy your trip! Does this mean some Utterz for the next few days?

Moxie-Mom said...

Yes, I cannot get over how beautiful he is. But it makes sense, his parents are pretty too.

Hi! I came here via Allie over at Friday Night Ambulance, and I just had to tell you that your child is gorgeous! I love his little round cheeks. What a joy he must be.

I am super jealous that you live in Colorado. I used to live in the Springs, and hopefully one day will be able to return via Fort Carson. I haven't been to Steamboat Springs, but I have been to Breckenridge, and I loved it! If they are anything alike then you must be having a blast.

OMG! Those cheeks!!
The mini-weekend getaway sounds like a sweet gig :) Have a blast!

Phil "Mountain Man" Porter said...

What a cute baby you have! His dad must be quite handsome indeed.

Kim said...

If that isn't the joy of your life, then I don't know what is!!!!!!

Eve said...

Love the baby. Love the hats. I'm totally impressed that he left the hats on long enough to get a picture.

I have now posted pics of my new perm. You will find them here:

Ahhh! What a cutie pie! Amos is absolutely adorable!

Have fun!

Nina - Aw, thank ya! The cheeks are from Phil's side. I gave him the eye shape and the pointy chin. (and I suspect the moxie, heheh)


Suzanne - My mom is a genius when it comes to knitting, crocheting, and all kinds of needlepoint.
Utterz? You might, rabbit, you might...


Moxie-Mom - Aw, lady! You are too kind. I'll try to remember that when I look at myself in the mirror in the morning, all haggard and sallow. Haha.

imaginary binky said...

j - Thanks for stopping by! You are too kind.
Colorado is pretty darn great. I always look forward to going to the mountains. Steamboat is a bit like Breckenridge, but more remote. That's what I like about it. It's a gorgeous place between vast ranges of open land.


Sandy C. - Thanks! It's a much needed break before I head to Texas.


Phil "mountin' man" - Indeed. His face is incredibly handsome. Too bad I don't know which daddy it came from. Ooooohhhh!

imaginary binky said...

Kim - Indeed. I had some inkling of what joy Amos would bring, but it doesn't compare to the wallop of happiness he gives me every day. Sniff.


Eve - Thank ya! Amos doesn't seem to mind wearing hats. He grins and grins when we gush over how cute he is in them. I think the boy understands admiration. Heheh.


Frangela - Thank ya! I love road trips. I think it'll do me a world of good.

toni said...

He is sooooo cute! Can I babysit him? *L* So adorable!

Whit said...

Too cute.

Stephen said...

I would go with the lumberjack hat, Although the fisherman look is good I think the lumberjack is cooler.

HRH said...

He is so cute and the hats...oh, the hats are precious. Have a fun trip!

e said...

Yep. He is the cutest baby EVER.
