Jordan spends the night with Grandma & Granddad!

Jordan and her Mom & Dad and brother Jaden visited yesterday to celebrate Christmas with us. After lunch we decided Jordan could stay the night so she and Grandma could go spend her Christmas gift certificate (see purchases above). Jordan attended two worship services with us this morning. It was a wonderful visit; we parted with tears this afternoon. Jordan will turn 7 on her next birthday, January 3rd.

Steve, Beth and Grace visit for Thanksgiving
Steve, Beth and Grace flew from Albuquerque on Thanksgiving morning and stayed until Saturday morning. We hosted a total of 15 for Thanksgiving dinner (5 of us plus 10 from the Young family, Kyra's other grandparents) and had a wonderful time!
Grace was very interested in playing with Kirk, but Kirk was a little skittish!
"Ga Ga" is Sharon's new Grandma name for Grace. We were thrilled that she was able to accept being held by us.

We're Going to the World Series!!!

Yes, we have tickets for Game 4 of the World Series: Rockies vs. the Red Sox! Yahoo!! Watch your TV screens for this sign and you'll know it's us! Go Rockies!! My brother-in-law wants me to remind everyone that we wouldn't be going to the World Series if the Brewers hadn't finished off the Padres at the end of the season, so our thanks go to all you Milwaukee fans for cheering on your team. Sure hope you'll be cheering for us this week!!

Go Rockies!!

Who would have believed it! We were at the final game of the season on September 30th that got the Rockies to the game that got them in the playoffs. Denver has gone absolutely nuts with Rockies fever!! We're in a group with several others that owns one set of season tickets, and as a result -- if there is a game 5 in the National League Championship series, we'll be there! Look closely at the reflection in Dwight's sunglasses and you'll see the baseball diamond at Coors Field.
Grace is 9 months old!
Jordan has a new name!

Ghost Ranch 2007



Dwight, Sharon and granddaughter Kyra traveled to New Mexico last week to visit with family in Belen (Steve, Beth, Grace, plus Dwight's sister Marcia and husband Calvin), followed by a week at Ghost Ranch. Sharon went to a seminar on "Understanding the Israel/Palestine Conflict", Dwight did R&R, and Kyra made a new friend, Jennifer (granddaughter of a friend of ours) from Corvallis, Oregon. It was a wonderful week in a magic place. The pictures above show us relaxing on our porch, standing in the chow line with Steve, Beth and Grace, and Kyra with Jennifer.

Visiting Family in Wisconsin - July 2007




Sharon and Dwight were in Wisconsin last weekend and got to see the "fam". Took some flowers to Mom & Dad (Columbarium at Luther Memorial Church, Madison); went to a Rockies game with Kathy & Tom in Milwaukee (oh ya, the Brewers were there, too, and yes, they won, drat!) Got to see niece Catherine for a few minutes and meet her beautiful puppy, Lola (St. Bernard/Collie mix), and have dinner with Richard, Ann, Kathy & Tom. The last picture above is of the three "Gallaghers" - Richard, Kathleen (Joynt) and Sharon (Blackstock).

Kyra meets Pastor from Zimbabwe

Granddaughter Kyra (age 8) worshiped with Sharon yesterday at Genesis Presbyterian Church in Littleton and met Rev. Paul Nashangwe, from Denver Presbytery's sister presbytery in Zimbabwe. Kyra told Rev. Paul that she wanted to help people in Africa now as well as when she grows up and can go to Africa. They exchanged addresses and will be communicating in the future.
Grace is baptized on Mother's Day 2007!



We were in Belen for Grace's baptism on May 13th. She didn't like the idea at first, but settled down in Granddad's arms after a bit and took it all in! Sharon sang "Amazing Grace" and Beth's parents, Bill & Sara Carlisle, participated in the service. A wonderful family event! Thanks, Steve and Beth, for sharing this with us!

Ventura Harbor on a Pontoon Boat!


We were in Southern California last week for the 2007 Western Regional Board of Pensions Consultation, representing Denver Presbytery, and added a couple of days to the trip to visit with friends Tom and Carmen in Oxnard. On Friday we rented a pontoon boat and puttered around Ventura Harbor - it was a beautiful day, beautiful boats and homes, shared with beautiful friends.
