Christmas

2013

Colorado

 

 

Such a good heart

 

 

 

 

I am writing this so that in the future when

Jack reads this blog he will know how proud of him we are .

 

Today there was a fire in the lunchroom at his school and all of

the kids were evacuated. It is Colorado , it is December and this is

one of the coldest Decembers in many years.

 

Jack is standing outside in the 20 degree weather and his

friend is standing next to him and shivering.

Jack had 2 shirts on  and his friend had on a short sleeve shirt.

Jack took off one shirt  and gave it to his friend .
 

That is a pure heart

 

Jack,  this just proves what a good heart you have 

we love you to the moon and back and  

 

Tom has been laid up for over a week, so as a get out of the house day

we went to 2 different parks looking for possible

camping areas for next year.

It has been a long , exhausting summer.

By the time we found a house and then the exhausting

process of moving,  I have not had time to keep up with my blog.

Soooo,here are some random pictures from the summer of 2013

This is what the kitchen DID look like with

white appliances, , white cabinets, white floor and walls ,

but lets not forget the

APPLE border..

(The white appliances are now GONE !!)

 

 

 

*************************

 

 

 

Our girly Girl crossed Rainbow Bridge in

 July.  The house seems empty after having her for 14 years.

She is no longer in pain and I am sure that Bear was waiting for her . 

* * * * *

 

 

 

We did get to do some camping in July for a few day,

but this trip was NOT looking very promising !!!

 

Things improved  once we got to the campground

 

 

We did get some afternoon rain showers, but it made for a nice quiet day

 

 

Then the rain moved on and we had some beautiful sun filled days .

 

 *************************

 

Serena & John got a boat

and as you can see, Jack is a natural!!!

 

 

 

 

Risa & Ralph visited Colorado this year and

Risa took and shared these pictures with me .

Thank You Risa!!!

 

That is it for now
