Spring 2022

 






It has been over a year since I updated this blog. So much has happened since then. Here is a small glimpse of events with us in that time. We continue to practice hospitality and share our lives with this community. 

The pic below is one of the many baby showers we have had over the years. 


The mommy, Kathryn, got to have her mom with us for this shower.

A group of us ladies from the chapel got to experience glass blowing.





In July of 2021, I went to Roseburg to help my dad move into retirement living. His apartment is just down the hall from Ed's parents. This picture is of Ed's parents and my parents. (My mom and dad are divorced but my mom came along to help.) I love this picture. 


Greg and Riley came for several weeks and joined us and a military family on a trip to Yellowstone.




Julie and kids came over at the end of Summer and joined us at Family Bible camp. We had 75+ people at Warm Lake camp on Labor Day Weekend. It was amazing!


Right before camp, we heard that Ed's dad had passed away. The memorial service was in October. This picture below is of the family that was able to attend.


Julie's whole family got to come and join us for Thanksgiving week. 


Aileen (an active duty officer) and I head up the children's church at the chapel. Most of our kids are moving away. Aileen herself is moving away this month.


I put on a mini women's retreat on Ritter Island in March. It was an amazing time of spiritual refreshment and fellowship.




Most of us hiked beautiful Box Canyon.
