A quick taste of some of our fun moments in SD since our move...

Here are some pictures in no specific order...


Swinging like a "big boy" at Prentis Park

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," Joe explaims.

I've got to dig mom...
Ain't no height that scares me

Another "weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee," all the way down the driveway

Climbing on the blow-up toys at rib-fest, the kick off to USD football

Joe cheering on Simeon

Dancing as the band warms up

Father Scott's tractor that Simeon has claimed as his own

"Why go all the way around, when you can just climb back up again?"

This is a really good chip

Sweet, but not so innocent

I've got the chuckles

So this is what a water enema feels like

Quality control

Making mischief as we tried to hang our pictures around the house

Lewis and Clarke Lake

I won't get out. It doesn't matter how cold it is...

Aren't I a charmer

Backyard fun

An Even Longer Hiatus

Well...almost a year this time. Wow--how the time flies by. I think after doing so much work on the computer I wanted to go on strike. Blogging was something that I loved to do, but for the last eight months the idea of it seemed like a chore. When push came to shove, I just enjoyed spending the time wiht my family more. So I am sorry you have missed out on our family, however I promise to not take such a long break this time. We have had some pretty major changes since we have been absent...

1. Jeremy has left teaching to rejoin FOCUS staff, and we moved to Vermillion, SD where Jeremy is currently serving as the team director at the University of South Dakota FOCUS program. We are hoping to eventually get closer to home, but are waiting on God and his timing.

2. I am now at home with the boys full time, and enjoying much slower paced life out of Denver, and working on the sidelines with Jeremy. (It's been such a blessing)

3. Simeon is not almost 3 1/2, and Joe is almost 2. They giggle a lot, fight occassionally, make awesome huge messes, and are very boyish. (Joe is especially daring)

4. We are expecting #3 in January. We will have a more update due date this week. (We think around January 13th)

There is probably more, but those seem like the major milestones. I will get to posting soon. We love you all, and we ask for your prayers for our family, and for ministry with FOCUS!

God bless you...
