Looks like you had a great trip! Glad everything went well and you were not sick the whole time!
What a fabulous trip! I cant wait to hear more details!
Those are amazing pictures Salena! I have been to Castle Rock before, too! Colorado is a beautiful state! Congrats to your DH and to Samantha. Baby Noah is a cutie. What a great memory for you!
Looks like a great trip, Salena!! The pics are wonderful, and Noah is beautiful!
What great pics! I would have a hard time deciding which ones to frame, b/c they are all so good.
I think you got all of the trip in. Your pictures are great. It was amazing seeing Noah born. I've been priviledged to see 3 of my grandkids born. It is the best experience of all.
Wow, what an exciting trip! Colorado looks beautiful - let's move! And, the photo of the boys holding little Noah make me want to have another one. :) I've watched four births... isn't it so different once you've been through it? You can really relate to what the mom is going through! Love all your pics...
WOW!! you guys look like you had a great time!! Congratulations to your hubby!!!
Congratulations to Steven and your entire family - that is so cool that you are a "Pastors Wife"! From the pictures and talking to the boys- sounds like they had a really fun family trip. I was so surprised and a little teary eyed when I saw that Noah was born when you were there- what a blessing for you to get to experience the baby's first breath with them. Nothing like it in the world!
What a great trip!!! So many big life moments, huh??? I cried when I saw the picture of Steven and his grandparents, when I saw the picture of Toni with all of her grandkids, and Samantha holding Noah with that look on her face....you guys are all a great family! I'm glad you got to spend time together!!! :) We love you!
Congratulations to Steven on following his calling! It was great to be able to follow along on your family's experiences. Forgot to ask where did Goldie stay while you were gone? Hope to see ya soon.
We were so happy to see all of you. We wish we could see you more often. Thank you for being apart of Noah's birth. We love you !!!
Hi Salena/Steve! I stumbled across your blog by doing a google search for "Ness Nest" (gee, wonder where that name came from?). Hope all is well with you two, err, I mean four! You are welcome to contact me:

Take care!

What a fun filled trip. Congrats again to you both and now to your sister in law. Beautiful Baby. How wonderful.
Hey, where did my comment go??? That is very weird. It is fun to see pictures of your trip and of the Espinoza's. Ella is a cutie and I love babies!!! Of course it is so good to have you home.
Congrats to Steven! Your family has been looking forward to this day for quite some time. It looks like you had a wonderful trip. It must have been great to see family also.
