Winter’s arrived here in Denver, but just barely. “It’ll come,” we’re told… 
This fall has been a really fun time for our family, friends and church community. As you’ve probably read on the NDC blog or email, we’re gaining momentum at the church in some exciting ways… Emotional stories of life change, lots of new faces, small group growth, local service enthusiasm, and a talented crop of LDP associate staff. Having just passed our one-year anniversary of public worship services, we feel like we’re beginning to walk and maybe even trot a little…
Meredith continues her part-time work with CTEPA as an accountant, and even flexed a little marketing muscle recently, by creating their holiday newsletter. She’s also heavily involved in the kids’ school, leading a “Jr. Great Books” reading group for Cassie, and functioning as the class mom for Abbey. And – shhhh, don’t tell anyone! – she’s considering training for a century ride this summer! (Yup, that’s 100 miles in the saddle!)
Cassie finished soccer, and has picked up piano lessons, girl scouts, and after-school Spanish. Abbey is trying out for a girls’ choral group this week, and loves to play the piano as well. Jayce is gearing up for the ski season and is likely to put the rest of the family to shame with a few weeks’ practice. (If only he knew how to turn!!)
Jason finished phase one of a writing project with Dinesh D’Souza, and will likely begin phase two early in the new year. He’s also been editing for another friend who’s trying to get her book to market in 2011. Earlier this month, he also had the opportunity to volunteer at the Beaver Creek World Cup ski races. It was hard work, but incredible to see the racers go by at 80+ mph on hills that are too steep to stand on, much less ski.
Thanks for tracking with us and praying for us. We wish you well this Christmas season, and pray that we get to see many of you sometime soon.
