Mornings at the Paterson's.

The past couple of mornings have each seemed to have there own event. It started on Friday when we woke up and everything was covered in frost. I had noticed fog in the middle of the night and I wondered if everything would be covered in ice.

On Saturday I woke up and was checking my Facebook when I looked up out of the window and I saw a giant balloon coming over the hill. In the picture you cant tell how closet it was. I know there’s a balloon festival in August, I didn’t expect in November when it was on 20 degrees outside.

Today, I got to feed the kids breakfast while Mom got to sleep in a little. Nathan was eating his Fruity Cheerios when one somehow got stuck to his forehead. It was very funny. Unfortunately, I can’t get the picture off the camera right now so you will have to wait for it.

So we are all moved in now. Got the internet up and running yesturday. As you can see from the header picture, it snowed! That was on Friday. Snow is a very nice thing to wake up to. Kelsey probable would have rather enjoyed the snow from inside but Nathan had a blast kicking snow around. He was very sad when it was time to go in. It's going to be in the mid 70's today so what little snow is left should melt today. Shannon and I are really enjoying the weather and mountains here. We have great sunset every night. One day we will have the camera ready and get a shot of the sun setting behind Pikes Peak.

PS

I haven't written much lately, but I wanted to add a little to Shannon's post. Ashlyn should know that when she comes to visit us and she comes to the Oaster's, there are serious potties here. There are only five bedrooms here at the Oaster's. They all are like hotel suites, but with walk-in closets. It is set up like that so they can have clients come and stay as they design churches. Also we will be getting up some pictures on the blog site soon. And probably on face book too. It you only read our blog in our facebooks, I believe there is a link to our blog at the bottom. If you like to look at stuff on maps like me. Our address doesn't come up on any online mapping programs, because the house is so new. Probably the easiest way to find us is to look up New Life Church on google maps. Look at the satellite image, and about 1/4 of a mile north you can see a small development being built. That's where our house is. 

Home at last...

Colorado is amazing!  It's not only amazing, but amazingly BEAUTIFUL!  I love how it's flat and then all of a sudden HUGE mountains right next to you.  Our house is very cute! I love it!  Granted I have only seen the outside, because Eric forgot the keys when we went to go see it.  :)  The only bummer which has really turned out to be a blessing is that our moving trailer didn't get picked up until yesterday (monday) instead of friday!  So it will be here Thursday instead of today.  The blessing of it is that we are staying with Brad and Kim Oaster until it comes and their house is seriously, indescribable.  HUGE, GORGEOUS, SPACIOUS.  There are three levels, and 3-4 bedrooms on each level.  Each bedroom has a bathroom, including the kids room.  And the really big bedroom have HUGE bathtubs.  They are seriously like hot tubs. There are also fireplaces in most the bedrooms and even in the bathrooms.  There is PLENTY of room for Nathan to RUN!!  (inside and out)  Eric and I were laughing because he said they were trying to decided to put in a playground or a helicopter landing in the yard.  (that's after the pool and stables they are building as well.)  So like I said to my mom this morning, it's like we are having a vacation before we have to unload everything, which is really nice.  Just to finally spend time with Eric and the kids as a family.  We are having a lot of fun with my parents, especially Nathan.  Today we are going to the zoo and going to see what kind of fun things there are here in CO Springs.  I was going to post some pictures but my parents have the camera with them.  They are taking Nathan for a walk.  Kelsey and Eric are still sleeping.  She had a really hard night last night.  She is teething and her nose is all stuffed up so she couldn't breathe.  She ended up waking up about every 30 minutes.  But she has definitely loved being with Eric. Both the kids missed him soooo much while he was away (me too, but I didn't throw any tantrums because of it).  It's nice to finally live somewhere you know you can really call HOME  :)
