OREGON! friends, family, wedding, babies, & more...


Wow! What a whirlwind of a trip we had! and what FUN! =0) I was going to try and write out all we did and post a picture of everyone we saw... but there was way too much to get into one post. So here is a snapshot....


Nolan & Mary Harris


Rob looked so good all dressed up! =0)

What a blessing it was to see both Adam & Amanda's baby and Dave & Sara's baby! =0) both born on Thursday morning! and only 2 doors away from each other in the hospital! haha...

headed north...

We are sitting in the Denver Airport at the moment (yay for free wireless!). We are so excited to be heading back to the "great northwest" =0) We are loving Colorado and know it is where God has called us to, at the moment, but there is nothing like "home" =0)

The reason for our trip: Nolan and Mary's wedding! =0) But we are also hoping to get to visit as many of you as we can! And an additional bonus will be meeting Alyson Elizabeth Pletcher!!! Born early this morning! We will try and post pics when we get back. =0)

until then....


ps. hope this means you'll still be looking at our blog Dad! =0) hehe....

Last days of summer... 1st days of school

Rob's last week of summer was spent in a lot of meetings, decorating his classroom, and planning out first few days of classes with students....


Rob personalizing his classroom with Indiana Jones and of course, David Crowder Band! =0)

I also had the chance to go for a day to help Rob get his classroom ready! I helped put up posters and made a interactive "SUDOKU" board! =0)
In the busyness of the week we still managed to sneak in a few adventures and fun....


"Huck Disc" (aka Frisbee Golf) with Brandon



The Royal Gorge Bridge!


US Senior Open with my Dad! =0)


and... Wild Buffalo Wings!
(we miss you Adam & Amanda)

*Please be praying for Rob's first week with students! God has provided richly for us! We are trusting Him for great relationships with students, parents, and co-workers! And for many opportunities for Rob to "Carry Christ's Presence" in those relationships! Thank you all for your love & prayers! We miss you all greatly.
