Thanksgiving Week!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving week!  Our friends were in town part of the time and we were able to squeeze in an afternoon of lunch, shopping, and fun at Jump Street!

Good Morning, Colonial America!

Hannah's 5th grade classes presented Good Morning, Colonial America just before Thanksgiving.  Each of the groups put together a newscast interviewing important people from that time period as well as doing commercials - the kids do a ton of research to "get it right" and then dress the part - what fun!  Hannah's group did Pennsylvania. She was interviewed as William Penn (no picture dressed as a dude, sorry!) and also showed a mother making bread with her daughter.  It was a great, information-packed day morning! 

Four Friends!

...feeling a bit nostalgic after a great weekend with our friends in town ~ how the kiddos have grown up and changed ~ so incredibly proud of each of them :-)

...a trip down memory lane ~ taken four years ago...

Fall Concert!

Debs - I'm really hoping you're able to view this :-)

Buena Vista!

Brian and Margie found a terrific getaway for all of us outside of Buena Vista :-) We had a great time!

Day To Serve 2012

Our church participated in this year's Day To Serve alongside 7 other churches on the west side of Denver.  Our small group bible study signed up together and spent the day painting the inside and cleaning up the yard at Open Door Ministries' Cornerstone Home for disabled men. It was a great day being the hands and feet of Jesus!
