Family Hands


Our family has a tradition. When we travel, as a family, we take a "Family Hands" picture. Sometimes it is as often as one every month. We have taken our hands at the beach, camping, against a tree at the sacred grove, the seal at the U.S state capitol, European destinations and many more over the years. It is so fun to look back at the "Family Hands," when there used to be five of us. Seeing our children's baby hands and then growing has made a great photo record for us. Here is our latest... Paul, Laura and my hand in Colorado Springs. We had a great day and loved adding to our "family hands."

Our Great Germany and Colorado Connection




In September, we had our good friends Rolf andf Birgit Schaefers, come to visit us from Wuppertal, Germany. We had so much fun spending time with them and showing them our new state of Colorado!

Visiting Teaching on Pikes Peak?


Our family took a trip up to the top of Pikes Peak, where we ran into the Hill family. Since I visit teach Sarah Hill.....can we call this a visit? j/k
