Some of Tallulah's "skills"!

These videos are actually about a month old, but, we decided to put them here since she still is at about the same stage. Looks like she will be walking soon...

WyldLife Trip to Gredos!

This was our first Young Life kid camp since we arrived in Madrid. The whole family got to go and it was a lot of fun. Chase spoke on the weekend which was an honor and privilege. The place where we stayed was up in the mountains. It was beautiful--a perfect place to play Sardines at midnight!

Having fun at club!

...please let go of me, I am miserable! (our kids love going to Wyldlife and being around all the middle schoolers--thankfully the middle school kids seem to like them too! (Thanks Megan!))

The Rest of May

Last week we got to go as a family to Brussels on a Young Life Regional retreat. It was really wonderful being with folks from all over Western Europe (Denmark, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, France, Belgium, Spain and Portugal). We got to stay in a 17th Century Chateau in the Belgium country side which was a ton of fun! It was nice to be in the "green" again after the arid climate of Madrid.
