The Park in the Winter

Luke and Lydia love to be outside, and we are fortunate enough to have winters that are not always freezing. So we often get to enjoy outside during November and December. It sometimes snows every other day but melts quickly. Lydia is becoming a risk taker at the playground so it always keeps me on my toes when we go to the park.

Cheyenne Mountain Zoo November 2010

We have an annual pass to the Colorado Springs Zoo. We love it there. All the animals are up close, and the zoo rests in the side of a mountain. It doesn't get any better than that. We try to go as much as possible. So here are pictures from our latest trip.

Children's Museum November 2010

I finally took the kids to the Children's Museum to check it out. It was rather expensive but fun. I do not know if I will go back, it was probably a once a year kind of outing. So here are some pictures of the fun day we had.

Reformation Day

Here are some of the pictures I got from Reformation Day/Halloween. I like to call it Reformation Day to keep in mind what our family is celebrating. Reformation Day (for those of you who don't know) is the day the Martin Luther first posted his 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg Church which marked the beginning of the Protestant Reformation and the long journey that led to getting God's Word into the hands of the common man. Before that the Bible was only read by those in high authority in the Catholic Church and they spread a lot of myths and rituals that covered over the truth of the Gospel. Many died for our freedom to know Christ and for that we celebrate Reformation Day. That is way too short of an explanation but will have to do for now. So here are some pictures. Luke of course would not wear a costume for the second year in a row so that resulted in him wearing his VT jersey again.

Visiting Mommy's Office

So I have been way bad about blogging. Partly because I have been working, partly because I have 2 active little ones that never want me on the computer, and lastly because I have had trouble uploading photos for some reason. This is my attempt to catch up over the past 2 months. So daddy brought the Luke and Lydia into visit me at my office and Lyida loved the kids chairs (just her size). And just a side note: Daddy also dressed her that day (:
