Air Jordan's

I saw this from a friend via Twitter this morning and in some strange way I wish I had an extra $8,000+ to get these! Air Jordan Eminem Encore Edition shoes... supposedly only 50 ever made!

As a kid, these were my favorite version of the Air Jordan collection (I'm not sure if I ever ended up getting a pair as a kid but almost bought them on several occasions a few years ago when they "re-released" all the Air Jordan's.) To me, these shoes are iconic.

You can check out the full E-Bay listing here.

And don't worry... we have a bunch of photos of Dylan to put up soon.

Boulder - #1 place to Live Well according to Forbes

This is a continuation of an ongoing series of"Reasons I love Boulder". And no, it's definitely not for the hippies or liberals that seem to give this place a bit of a reputation.

Reason #2:
Forbes.com had this article recently about the top 25 towns to live in. Of course Boulder barely fit into the less than 100,000 people part of the "town" definition, but that's okay.

Rationale from the article:
Boulder is a consistent high performer in all our measures. The city's businesses bring in $1,165 in per capita venture capital funding; it ranks fourth for its young and educated population of those 25-34 years old, in the top 5% for its patents per capita, second for its number of sole proprietors, fourth for its number of museums and cultural institutions and has an average commute of 17 minutes.

Drawbacks: If you don't like snow, this might not be the place for you.

Reason #3 - The Annual Bolder Boulder 10K held on Memorial Day

Happy Mother's Day!

Today was a great first Mother's Day for Melissa and Dylan. Mom got to celebrate Dylan being home for a month this weekend and Dylan also hit the 6-weeks old mark.

We went out to brunch at a local restaurant. This little excursion marked Dylan's first time out in public - for a meal or otherwise! Of course it had to be in the upper 50's and rainy but what can you do!

Dylan is also signed up (via Mom and Dad) for his first Bolder Boulder in 2 weeks. Let's hope there is good weather so Dylan can be carried in his baby bjorn for the 10K race (Ryan is running and then walking with Dylan, Melissa, Uncle Gregg and both Lee Grandparents).

Here are some recent photos of Dylan with his visitors:
