Jolly Early Christmas

We were abundantly blessed to have my dear grandparents (mother's side) with us in early December to get into the Christmas spirit! What wonderful people they are, and I am lucky indeed to have them for grandparents! Go HERE for all the pics we had--so much fun!

Lots of puzzling going on :)

And lots of reading and just sitting quietly together... You know your true friends when silence is just OK between you--I love you so much Gramps.

Fellowship & OCC!

Several weeks ago our dear friends the Sortebergs invited us to a fellowship with many Chinese students who are over here in the US attending college. It was such a wonderfully fun night!

FIRST SNOW :)

Our first heavy snow of the winter season! I just sat by the window and stared at it like a little kid...

Our backyard--aren't the fluries so cute?!

That tree there hadn't quite lost all of its leaves yet!

During the snow...

After the snow! This just takes my breath away...

I am so grateful that God thought to create snow!

Happy Birthday Twins!

Mary and Patricia, our babies, turned 15 on Nov 4th!! I could scarcely believe it... But I'd better--Patricia is taller than me! See the rest of the pics HERE.

We love you so much, Patricia and Mary. Thanks for all the smiles and hugs you give me! xoxoxox

Twins BD

Beautiful....

One morning several weeks ago the sky was just SO clear on the way to church, that we took some pictures in the car.... Colorado is gorgeous!

:)

Can you ask for a better view than that? I must say, the sun rising and setting on the ocean is every bit as beautiful, but this is in my very backyard--what a blessing! Praise the Lord who has truly made all of creation cry out his majesty and glory.

Reformation Day Square Dance

The day after Halloween is REFORMATION DAY in honor of Martin Luther and the Great Reformation! Our homeschool group happened to have a square dance organized that day, so we dressed up! Go HERE for all the pics.

The jedi and the colonial girls :) haha!

In the Lair of the Bear!

A couple weeks ago our homeschool group hiked in Lair O' the Bear. It was a ton of fun! Go HERE for all the pics.

As you'll see from the pics HERE, we also went to Red Rocks afterward (just some of us) Just to enjoy the view :) All in all, a jolly day and the weather was GORGEOUS!!

Graze, Praise, and Gaze!

The Cheney family were kind enough to host a "Praise, Gaze, and Graze" at their house--basically a stargazing party! We couldn't have asked for more beautiful weather.... Thanks so much Cheneys! Enjoy ALL the pictures I took HERE.



They had a big telescope AND a little for the children :) All in all a most memorable time, even if I didn't get half of what Mr Chapa said about stars, and could find even less of the constellations in the sky! It was still a great testimony to the awesomeness of the God we serve... Go HERE for all the pics.
