Well, I feel that there is so much to say and no time to say it. After getting here on the 9th we went to see the house, every time we go out there we see something new. It is very exciting. We are adjusting to the area and had some things delivered to the apartment after we got here, so the girls have toys and videos. We have finished about a week and a half of school but now are leaving on a trip tomorrow so that will be on hold for about a week.
Last week we had some friends from CA (The Sernas) visit Denver so we spent a few days with them doing some sightseeing. We went to a candy factory, the Children's Museum and to the Focus on the Family campus in Colorado Springs. We had a fantastic time!! I am hoping to have those pictures posted today on our shutterfly photo site.
For those of you that know about me and baking you know that I have been nervous about baking here at this altitude. My first attempt was our Blum Family Pancake recipe which worked fine and all of us were relieved. My second attempt was my friend Sherri's chocolate chip cookies to which I only added about 2 tsp of water to the recipe and they are out of this world good. My third attempt was chicken and dumplings and they were a bit dried out but I think I may have overcooked the dish a bit. I think I am confident enough now to try a bread or cake next.
We found an AWANA club for the girls and yesterday was their second week. They were so excited last week. I think they were thrilled to be away from me and each other even for a little while. We also tested out a church this week. We have made a commitment to test 3 churches but so far we really did enjoy the first one we attended.
Tomorrow, Thursday was are flying to LA. We are going to give our babies to Keith's parents and my mom for 4 days. Then, Keith and I are continuing on to Hawaii for a business trip. We will pick the girls up on our way home on Tuesday morning.
I am adding pictures to our site now but do not have time to add them all. I will update the rest later. -jane
