Our Christmas in Colorado

We made the drive to Colorado Springs to have Christmas with my family, minus Caleb and Emily’s clan.

While staying at the Vollbracht farm, we had some frost.  While taking a little photo expedition to the “frozen” pond, I lost a shoe.

One night we battled traffic to see the light show at Seven Falls.

The next morning we did some rock climbing at Garden of the Gods.  A highlight for the kids.

Waiting until I can go back

We had an AMAZING time in Ethiopia.  Our prayers for finding a place to focus FBC‘s ministry efforts have been answered, and it seems pretty obvious to ME that we will be returning to south-central Ethiopia for many years to come.  I’ll give a more detailed trip report soon, so in the meantime take a look at some photos from our trip.

Would this be covered under life insurance?
