California comes to Colorado









This weekend has been great. One of Gabe's best friends from Cali came in for a visit. His visit was two-fold. First, he was visiting a local college to find out more info. Second, he, Gabe and T were scheduled to go to an Apologetics Youth Conference put on by Focus on the Family. It was cancelled but the speaker, Alex McFarland, and fellow Focus leaders hosted us at a dinner tonight. What a great opportunity!

Dawson is so pleasant to have in our home. He's kind, funny, respectable and he calms Gabe down... is that even possible? The boys have a tradition of making cookie dough and eating it out of the bowl. They made a big batch and took a bunch in baggies to the movies instead of candy. How genius is that? They played poker, mowed the lawn, played Wii, basketball, stayed up way too late, and the last task is to accomplish the Incline.


We have known their family a long time and are so blessed to have him here even if it is only a few days. Thank you Ken and Heily for loaning us your boy a few days. We love him!

They look so grown up compared to when you were first in Roseville! Handsome boys! So glad they had some time together.
