Whew, we are stopping by Dallas for two days before we head off again on some more travels. It has been really wonderful to be able to see so many of you and catch up. Just wanted to give an update on what we have been up to the last month.
As the previous post mentioned we were able to attend a Bible conference at the SIM retirement center as the missionary reporters. Thanks to Taylor’s position in helping out with regional media we shared updates from the different fields he has worked with over five nights. There was a great speaker who encouraged us as well as the retirees. It was such an honor to be able to meet and get to know many of the unsung heros of our faith and our organization.
Here are some photos from our time at Sebring
Larson was such a good helper with the setup for each presentation.

We had a fabulous guest house and even had a golf cart to use around the retirement village.

It was also a precious time to spend with just Larson while Avery had the chance to spend some one on one time with Nana and Pops back in Dallas.

Larson was a huge hit as you can imagine and was even allowed to be a guest instructor at water aerobics!

After our Sebring visit we were able to spend some time in Dallas and then go with my parents and brother to Colorado. Avery and Larson got to see mountains and snow for the first time. Avery loved wearing a jacket, riding a horse named Duke and going fishing!

It was neat to see Avery enjoy the many things I enjoyed doing on vacation while growing up. She loved visiting the rock shop and cracking open a geo.

After the precious time with extended family we were additionally blessed by Bluefish TV and the Mosley family who offer their cabin in Crested Butte for missionary families on home assignment. It was a refreshing time to really be away from busy American cities and to have some time with just our little family. Taylor took some great shots I hope to share soon from these past trips.
