Back Online - update

We were given a beautiful cabin to stay in as a family and the timing of it could not have been better. I was very sick on Monday and Terp (Christina) had the joy of taking me to an urgent care for about 5 hours. They were unable to determine the cause of my symptoms and so I headed home with antibiotics and no relief from my symptoms. We flew from California to Colorado and headed to the cabin on Tuesday and I tried to relax and unwind and enjoy some family time, but mostly slept for a few days with headaches, nausea, and feelings of dizziness and lightheaded. On Friday, my poor family got to sit in the waiting room at an ER because it got to be too much and Bryan and I needed some answers after 5 days of constant symptoms. After MUCH testing, they determined that I have vertigo (virus infection in the inner ear). So at least that has been determined and I think the stress of knowing what was causing these problems has caused a bit more relief than the medicine they gave me :) Besides my being sick, we found some time to build a little teepee fort and spent one day in Colorado Springs doing some sight seeing. Our time as a family went way too quick, but it was a special time and we had a cozy place to share it together!

Lion's Head

Cut throat game of monopoly :) They were forced to play the Broncos vs the Packers Superbowl edition and it was only bad for them because they are all Packers' fans and the Broncos won that year!!!!!

The start of their teepee fort.

The finished teepee fort which was built especially for Pastor Bill. Elijah even made him a treasure map to see if he can find it on his next visit :)

Panning for GOLD! We even found some tiny specks of gold, but we were nice and left them for the next visitors.

We are now at a different cabin (for 2 nights) with our friends Zach, Sara and their daughter Elly as well as my brother Bob who they generously flew out here to hang out with all of us for a week.
