Colorado Break and Some Family Pictures

Image
By
It has certainly been a different but good week. First off, Lucy and Brian helped Kas and I with our family pictures. They did a great job!





Got to have at least one prego pic! 
This week we have been relaxing at Kassie's parents house and enjoying ourselves. We have watched a bunch of movies (including the original Star Wars trilogy) and ate tasty food. Kas and I made the two dishes below for our final assignment for the MOOC class on Child Nutrition.



I made the homemade chicken nuggets and Kas did the tasty veggie dish. We were pretty happy with the result! The class has been lots of fun and we have both learned lots. Hopefully we can do some more classes in the future. 

Also this week I went to Comic Con Denver with Liana. It was pretty amazing, though the line to get in was equally unique (about 3 hour wait). I saw lots of interesting people and things, and decided that I want to get into comic books. 

Vadar and Wolverine were among my favorites

We have enjoyed lots of nice walks. The weather here is a wee bit cold, but it has been very refreshing and incredibly beautiful. I especially enjoyed the walk in the Black Forest yesterday with Kas and her Mom (see picture below). I leave tomorrow to Tulsa where a new adventure begins. Kas took a pic for me to use for my new ID badge - and I was sort of scared to see the result! Nevertheless, we press on, hope on, and look for the Lord's hand in our lives each day.

Hinckley's Two Month Update

By
I can't believe it has only been two months since Hinckley joined our family! It feels like a lot longer than that and he is growing so big way too fast! At his two month check-up today, he weighed 13 lb 12 oz and was 26 1/4 inches long. Apparently he is so tall that he is off the medical charts for his age. Hinckley is such a happy, easy-going baby. He smiles, laughs, and coos a lot. Having him in our family is so fun because he helps us realize the joy of everything once again. He smiles at bright colors or new sounds, enjoys kisses and cuddling, and squeals in delight at seeing nature when we take walks. Yesterday at church it was like he had a rubber neck; for about five minutes he just kept turning back and forth to take it all in--the sights, sounds, and smells. Today he had to get three shots at the doctor's office and even that didn't phase him for long. Oh he screamed and his face got redder than I have ever seen it. I held him and fed him afterwards and then ...

So begins our stay in DC

By
I will try to keep a fairly good record of our exploits and adventures here in the Nation's capital. It is exciting and I am particularly happy about the amazing opportunities there are for pictures! Our trip began at the bus stop outside of the Barlow Center. I took an exterior shot of the Center - the top 2.5 windows on the right are ours. Once on the bus we went past some of the "Occupy" folk which was interesting. And then we came to our stop just outside of Union Station (where I will also be getting off to work at the FJC). Our first grand site was the Capital. So here we are. Washington DC is very different for both Kass and I, but we are finding a way to call it home as quickly as we can. Our first full day in DC consisted of going to Safeway on the bus, eating a modest lunch, and then going to the the Mall for the second time. We began at the capital building and headed towards the Lincoln Memorial (2 miles) before walking home another 2 miles or so. Our first st...

O.T.: Our Town

By
                        This evening I watched O.T.: Our Town , a documentary about high school students in Compton putting on Wilder's classic play at an institution where no drama event has been held in over 20 years.    A few things stood out to me about the film including the excellent characters, the unique commentary on the human condition, and the filmmaker's ability to raise the stakes.             The students and teachers that are pictured in O.T. were very dynamic and interesting. I appreciate the filmmakers avoiding trying to classify each student into a group such as  "jocks" or a "nerds".  Instead a very honest and genuine portrait was captured as the filmmakers followed individual students into their homes and interacted with their family and friends. The insight and voice of the students themselves made this fi...
