2007 Family Highlights

I realize that 2007 is far from over and that we still have quite a few things planned for the next few months, namely, going to Atlanta, Christmas Parties, the big Christmas play and lots and lots of football on the T.V. But I wanted to try to capture just what an amazing year it has been.

As Jennifer and I sat in Huatusco, Mexico back in October of 2006, we discussed what the next year would look like. We already knew some of the travel that lay in front of us and some of the challenges that loomed ahead. We were praying hard about Zeke going to public school and all that this decision would change. It was in these moments that we decided to attempt the big Disney excursion. From there the plan grew and we ended up getting to have an incredible time there during one of our trips to Florida.

When you watch this video of all the places that we have been and all the fun that we had, please know that we give God thanks profusely for all that He has done for us, and for giving us such a blessed year.

CMA Youth Movement in Mexico

Jennifer and I have had the privilege to drive to be with some great students in Huatusco Mexico, both last year and this. It was very cool to be back with them. We are always amazed at their love for Christ and with their hospitality. As I have blogged already, the ride down was long but exciting and rewarding. We stayed at Hotel Los Cocuyos, and again completely enjoyed ourselves. We also had a really fun time wandering around the small city, tramping through the marketplace and drinking some of the best coffee you can find anywhere.

Here are some pics from our trip to Mexico.

Changing of the Colors Rally 2007

Our biggest rally of the year was just a few weeks ago. It was really an awesome experience and we are so glad that so many of our leaders and friends from around the country and world could come by for a while. We had some crazy youth services and some pretty intense times of worship. Here are a few pics, more to follow and videos as soon as I can edit them.

Here are a few pics of the kids that we took just before the craziness of the Rally. They are growing up very fast and we couldn't be any happier with them.
