Colorado Break and Some Family Pictures

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.

The final product of "make me a match" that I labored over exceedingly. I was actually sort of unhappy with it all not because of the performances of anyone but mainly just the story. We had to write all so quickly and the re-write it time after time and then storyboard it and really break it down. In all this rush I didn't realize till I was actually shooting it that I really didn't care much for the story as a whole and thus my motivation suffered greatly. I don't think I need to tell epic dramatic tales to care about them but I do want to have a strong point and also a specific conflict or issue that is approached and resolved. I am starting a screen writing class tomorrow and possibly I will gain some insights as to how to develop good stories. Ones that I care about. I don't know why I feel so interested in telling stories - particularly in that I haven't felt very confident with the stories I have come up with. It is extremely hard for me to come up

Almost There!

Tomorrow is our baby's due date! We don't think he will come tomorrow, but one never knows. Here are some pics from this week. School is going pretty well for me, though I transition to writing/reading from doing math for the past two weeks so I am a little nervous about that. The view from the bus just before I get off and start teaching for the day. Usually I am barely awake at this point.  Awesome panorama of our classroom. It has taken a lot of work to get all this stuff up, but it could still use lots more! Here is a view of the front of the classroom, along with our space ship behavior chart and so forth.  I decided to see what would happen if I didn't shave during the week This was the result.  Kas is feeling quite big, and ready for the man child to come out! This week Kas learned how to make homemade yogurt - or at least how to extend the yogurt you already have.  The latest creative masterpiece from Kassie is this little elep

Dishes

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu
