“Little London”
Colorado Springs was known as “Little London” in the early days. Much of the money raised to build General Palmers railroads and the city of Colorado Springs came from English investors. In turn Colorado Springs residents became quite “British”, carrying umbrellas, celebrating English holidays, playing cricket and en [...]
We Were Meant to be There
Every once in a while we have those Sunday’s where we wake up slightly late and figure there is no way that we will make it out the door on time so we stay home. This weekend we experienced that twice and both times it would have been so easy not to make it to church, but God’s Will prevailed. I am so grateful that the Holy Spir [...]
Spring Snow Bunnies
When you live in Colorado you expect to play in the snow during the Winter. However, if Spring tries to edge Winter out naturally we Coloradan’s tend to get a bit testy. It was looking like Spring was winning the battle, all through March. However, good ole Winter saved one or two tricks for April and we all got our “snow” [...]
Lost Without My Camera
It has been about two weeks since I destroyed yet another camera, yes this IS number three! Ugh….the ONE time I do not use my wrist strap I drop it with the lens out!!! I really wanted to drop to the floor in the fit of a tantrum when it happened…BUT, I didn’t. The worst part is that Hayden (aka Camera buff extraordinaire) [...]
Time of Reflection
I have so many random thoughts today, so much on my mind but not certain what it all amounts to. I love having my blog and I love that so many of my friends now have one, what a great way to stay connected and to record the things on our hearts and in our lives. To jot my thoughts down is therapeutic and I have really missed it. I think so [...]
Precious Prayer
Last night as the kids were getting tucked into bed…late, after a fun night with friends. Gillian asked, “So what are we doing tomorrow?” Both Kip and I said, “No plans, we are just going to relax and enjoy a day together.”
So in Gillian’s prayer last night she said, “Dear God, thank you for this [...]
Southern Belle’s
I love to listen to Gillian and her girlfriends play dress-up. They are so precious while they are try to act like grown-ups. The best part is the cute little accents they pick up. On this unseasonably warm day, Gillian and her friend N were taking a stroll around their castle (our yard) looking for their cat. I just had to take a few pic [...]
Lego Achievement
I do not think I have met anyone who doesn’t love Lego’s. They were one of my favorites when I was a kid so it makes me happy to see that Hayden also loves them. For years now, we have collected many large sets from the City Collection and their Car Collections. Typically Hayden and Kip will sit and work on them together. Howe [...]
Love Language
Love Languages were not something I was aware of as a child or young adult. But, in reading “The Five Love Languages” and attending a class on Love Languages it has really served me well in knowing what fills the love tanks of each person in my family. The fun thing is we are all very similar in what fills our tanks, I am sure t [...]
Coffee with God
This morning was like most of my mornings when I do not get everything little thing ready before I head out the door. I couldn’t find my book, my purse or my mind it seemed. I was rushing out the door and bringing those around me down with me. Why is it the good I want to do I cannot do?
Just then my dear, sweet husband gives me a hu [...]
