shaped spot on my forehead

Becca Blessed to study at
University of Evansville’s Harlaxton Manor in England and tour several European countries (France, Poland,
Ireland, Wales, Italy, Spain, Scotland, and maybe others) on her first trip to another continent. If you have a few days, she can tell you all about it as she returns to the real world!
Attended the Dr. Who 50th
Anniversary.
Daddy and Mommy He is architecting the next model of Coca-Cola’s Freestyle
machine similar to this one Adam used at Universal Studios. They saw Tim Tebow on a double date with Don and Jackie
Lacasse. She reached a new “speed limit”, sixty, while they were in
Orlando.
They blazed through extreme seasons quoting, praying, and, sometimes questioning their 2013 family verse.* The media covered our weekly snows in
winter and spring, summer fires and fall’s bitter cold.
During spring break they were snowed-in by an Estes Park blizzard.

They saw the Black Forest smoke and fires from our deck. Family, friends and Adam’s BSA Camp were evacuated because of the fire.
Camped with the Kreps and CO2-loving-insects that exist nowhere else on Earth and only when they were at Great Sand Dunes National Park!
My humans blazed up visiting with:
Stamps (Dwire, Edwards, Pace and Ramirez families, too.) after their two-year missions adventure to Tanzania, before they move to their next mission field, Kazakhstan, next year.
Hung out with the Martins in Indiana. Ramirez Family was stranded with us
when rain on last year’s Waldo Canyon burn scar closed roads to their home.
Josh and Donna Stolaroff from California introduced us to yummy gluten-free donuts.
Mike and Joyce Clark from Indiana were flooded out of their first night at Glen Eyrie’s castle and came to dinner.
Had lunch at the Broadmoor with Courtney and Katie Acker from Ohio.
They blazed across the country on their summer road trip: Burlington, CO (Uncle Jess, Aunt
Nancy) Atlanta (Cyclorama, Stone
Mountain, Atlanta History Center, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield)
Evansville (Becca, friends and Mommy’s former students)
Nashville (Grand Ole Opry)
They are ablaze with thankfulness because these prayers were answered:
Cousin Clint finally had the stoma from his trach closed before he started kindergarten.

Cousin Erica’s husband Steve Minton returned safely from military service in Afghanistan.
New cousin, Rylan James Kemper, was born in August to James and Amber. The Broncos’ 2013 Season, so far!
Finally, my humans posed in front of a blazing fireplace, which you can’t quite see, in this old-fashioned Christmas picture.
We are thankful for each of you and wish you a Merry Christmas and a blessed 2014 ablaze with God’s love, lots of laughter and long, healthy lives.
