Breckenridge, CO

At the end of July, we took a trip to Breckenridge, CO with our friends, the Grecos. This trip marked both of our fifth anniversaries, as we met Sam and Deri on our honeymoons in Jamaica. Since that time, we both have started families, so instead of returning to the tropics, we decided to stick a little closer to home and go to an environment that is more "kid-friendly". All in all, it was a good trip, even though it had it's ups and downs... Some ups included whitewater rafting for the guys, massages for the girls, a beautiful bike ride, the kids LOVED sharing a room, and we got to go to the top of the peak (which was 11,200 feet)!!! A big down, though, was that we all experienced some form of elevation sickness, as the town sits at a height of 9600 feet. Jeremie was the most sick, with flu symptoms much of the trip! :(

We are so thankful for a chance to get away, spend some quality time with our friends, and see something new. It was absolutely beautiful!!! Can't wait for the next vacation!

Happy Birthday, Gabriella!

I rarely get around to blogging these days, but wanted to post a few pictures from our baby girl's big day. She was sweet, adorable, and adored that day, as always! We got to celebrate with lots of family and friends. What a great way to honor our special little lady!

Gabriella's Baby Dedication

Yesterday, we had Gabriella dedicated at church. Our families were able to come up on stage and share in the moment. First, our children's pastor, Mark Edwards, introduced us and talked about the importance of raising our girls in a home where Christ is the center. He said we're "two for two' with our little beauties and that he knew we were on the right track with raising them, because Mollie has already accepted Jesus! Then our lead pastor, Ray Armstrong, came up and said the same things- knowing that we were getting it right, because he knows how much Mollie already loves Jesus. After that, the other pastors joined us on stage and prayed for our family. It was such a wonderful event, because we have such a wonderful church family, who knows us and supports us. We are so very thankful for everyone who got to be there and pray with us!
