Our Family Highlights 2005

Family Portrait by Hannah - December 2005
Our Move:
Early in 2005 we began hunting for a house that was within our price range and would fit our family. Heather likes to say that she needed a little more concrete in her life. We had been renting a small farm house in Marsing.

God blessed us with a perfect house for us. We didn't know until later how fortunate we were to get such a bargain. We are within walking distance of Hannah's new school and the drive isn't too bad for Paul to get to work (15 minutes).

(Picture on right taken early one morning this spring, watching the sunrise in front of their new house).


Our Church:
Last fall we started attending a church in Nampa that is geared towards reaching the unchurched or those that don't fit in a traditional church setting. We have gotten involved at several different levels and enjoy our small group.

Our Highlights:
Some of our favorite activities have been:

• Camping this summer with family.
• Spending a lot of time in the back yard this summer with our family and friends.
  
• Doing Wednesday evening gymnastics with the whole family. Hannah, Katie, and Ellie are the gymnasts. Heather is the teacher of the parent/tot class and Ellie and Paul are the parent/tot duo in her class. :) It has been fun having mom as a teacher.
