German Bakerei

If you haven't lived in Germany you won't appreciate this blog.
Tim and I visited a popular Germany bakery in Colorado Springs this morning. It made us homesick. It was so weird to hear people speaking German with real authentic German accents, and to see German everywhere in the store, even German magazines. The best part of course was the German baking, especially the pretzels!! Its a good thing the bakery is quite far from our house otherwise we would likely frequent it too often!

Beautiful sunrise

Seen by our house this morning! (Tim and I noticed a pink glow coming in our windows, so I grabbed the camera and went to check it out)

Back to school!

Luke and Tyler are back in college after being in Colorado with us for Christmas break. Luke is currently doing a three week winter term before starting his last semester at Taylor. He is also playing intramural volleyball. Here is his team!

Tyler sent us a picture of the official copy of his private pilots license that was waiting for him when he returned to LeTourneau University after Christmas. Way to go, Tyler! We are very proud of you!

Empty nest once again

This picture makes me sad. I took it during Christmas break when everyone was home. Now it's back to just Tim and me. Luke has been back in college for one week, and Tyler is on his way back to LeTourneau today. I sure don't like good-byes, but I am thankful to God for a wonderful Christmas with our boys.

Back to work tomorrow for Tim! Meanwhile, it was a beautiful day for an afternoon hike! Much warmer today.




The annual family photo session!












New Years Day 2011

What a gorgeous day! Very cold but beautiful blue sky - we shoo-ed everybody out of the house, hoping to go on a hike but it ended up being too windy and frigid, so we toured in the car.



Air Force Academy



We saw these deer by the side of the road and Luke wanted his picture with them.

Needless to say the deer did not choose to stick around when they saw Luke coming!

A wolf stopped to check us out!

Snow Day - Garden of the Gods

It was a bitterly cold day on New Years Eve, but we had to take a quick hike through snowy Garden of the Gods. Beautiful!!

Pikes Peak

Spectacular drive on Tuesday afternoon. We drove up to around 13,000 feet. It was the perfect day weather wise - clear blue sky.
