2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
Heading to Hamilton to play Bitter Root Brewing. The last time we were in MT, we met a guy who ended up being at a few of our gigs (three, to be exact). His name is Taylor and he and his wife are total sweethearts and Champagne Sunday fans. He really wanted us to play...

Today was beautiful out on the farm. We awoke with the bright sunshine, the call of the rooster, and a nice breeze from the air conditioning unit that Shane had installed in the “cabin” between last summer and this. (Thank you SO much!) I spent the morning sunbathing and reading a book. Rudy got in...

We made it!!! Greeted by the lambs we were glad to be out of the car and able to stretch our legs a bit. After settling in, Shane and Quenby’s daughter, Kayla, brought her eighteen-month-old baby girl, Addy, over for dinner and Rudy was smitten! “Almost” makes us wish we’d had another.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nope. Honestly, today...

I love Rudy Days because we get to justifiably spoil our son and just spend the whole day focused on him. Today was a day to celebrate having him back with us, to celebrate him completing two weeks on his own at camp and having a great attitude about it, and to celebrate him just...

A lovely brunch at Toast with Marianne and Nate was a perfect way to wrap up our time in Denver. As we gave hugs and pets to Brandy, we taught Rudy about “See ya laters” instead of “goodbyes”. He was really bummed to leave, since it is rare that he meets grown ups with similar...
2022 Balance Tour, Tales from the Road
No trip to the Denver area will ever feel complete again without spending time with Marianne and Nate. This trip was particularly cool and stood out from our spring visit with them (if you read our spring blog, they’re the ones who joined us at the skating rink gig in Denver) because we had Rudy...

After a seven-hour day of driving, we were a little road weary but excited to play the house concert our Montana friend, Gretchen, helped hook up for us. Gretchen’s cousin, Oak, put us in touch with Luca, who worked out a space that was in the backyard of Mya’s house. 😂 And, just like a...

Today’s the day!!! Today’s the day!!! We get our boy!!! After the worst sleep full of false wake-ups for fear of missing my alarm and leaving our boy stranded on a mountain, I finally got up at 7:00 for good, showered and got ready with an anticipation to rival Christmas, a 21st birthday, or a...

I was so obsessed with getting to our son, I didn’t show you the extraordinary introduction we received coming into Colorado. Prior to this trip, we knew nothing of the “Million Dollar Highway” or the beauty that lay along its twists and turns. A vein through the San Juan mountains, providing “safe”-ish passage from a...

Rudy has been at his first away camp. No electronics. No phones. He has written us 2 letters. He left two weeks ago for Durango, CO. Tomorrow morning, we get to pick him up. His voice. I couldn’t have foreseen how I’d miss his voice. On the eve of our reunion with our only son,...
