And one memory from February…

Valentine’s Day…Fondue fun!

One simple thing I can do to make my family happy…stacks of chocolate chip cookies.

Matching CO girls…

Kenny spent a week in San Francisco in early March for a Sales Force conference followed by a three-day boot camp, learning a new tool/platform his company will use.  After studying for months, he also took two exams and passed them both!  We are so proud of his efforts. 

Amy came to visit!

Mom & Dad also came out in March and attended our school’s Band Chili Dinner Fundraiser with us.  James’s jazz band, Silver Jazz, was part of the entertainment and we LOVED watching him play.  

Ain’t Misbehavin’…

Aftershock…a cool rock beat & our favorite…James’s favorite too!

Anna’s 5th grade Pi Day at school…

Spring Break fun…

Our family Christmas gift last year was a trip to Universal Studios in Florida!  Before Christmas, we booked the hotel & park tickets, and in early January started looking at flights.  As we discussed flying, and my anxiety climbed, it became evident that I wasn’t ready to fly again.  My track record with flying is fairly poor and I just wasn’t ready to risk being sick during the trip again.  

So, we made the very difficult decision that mom would stay home.  We were so thankful for God’s direction in this.  In the end, it was the right decision for all of us.  Kenny & the kids had a blast & didn’t have to worry about me & how I was feeling.  I enjoyed a very quiet four days at home resting, getting a few things done & was refreshed by the time they returned.  

Well, once again I didn’t intend to take six months off from writing here, but that’s the way life worked out.  The end of March & all of April was very busy & there just wasn’t extra time for blogging.  I wasn’t feeling well for most of May & half of June, and the last few months have just gotten away from me.  There seems to be less & less extra time for things like this in our current season of life.  I’m hoping to catch up a little bit over the past six months, and moving forward, will post now & again as time allows.  My goal is to continue blogging until Anna graduates from high-school.  We’ll see if I can hang in there until then!  

Fall is now arriving in Colorado.  The mornings & evenings are very, very crisp & we find ourselves reaching for jackets more.  I love this time of year.  The time we can open windows to cool the house & close them to warm the house.  The peak has had it’s first snow & it is glorious. 

The kids are very busy & doing well with school & all the things.  They seem to have changed much in six months! 

More to come!
