Great Time In Colorado

Ben and I took some time this past week and headed to the mountains of CO to take part in a Father/Son retreat.  It was a great time of fellowship and fun. We enjoyed obstacle courses, tomahawk throwing, swimming, hiking, wall/rock climbing, tug-o-war, and excellent food.  In addition, we were encouraged by a number of challenging messages. The weather was terrific and the views were spectacular.

Hannah is 13!

Kitchen Remodel (Almost) Complete

Well, so much for doing it myself.  After much thought and consideration (involving an accurate assessment of my skill set), we decided against the do-it-yourself route. I'm quite sure had I continued down the "solo" path we would still be months away from being finished.

There are still a number of small details to address, but by and large we are done.  We are thankful to have the much needed work behind us.
