Happy 2007!

Happy New Year! Here's a post, mostly of pictures made in the "Holiday Blizzard" of 2006. We actually got two snows--the first was officially 32 inches deep and the second was about 9 inches deep. There was probably a day when we had at least 40 inches on the ground. Unbelievable! 2006 was a great year for us, filled with lots of emotion but so many blessings. Neal preached in 17 different pulpits in 9 states plus Paris, France and two places in Tanzania. The Pollards moved west after twelve years in Virginia. The boys participated in an oratorical, were active in the Virginia homeschool group, Gary competed in a Bible Bowl in Denver, and the three of them have adjusted to their new home with new friends in Colorado quite well. Kathy is teaching the boys at home (this is her 8th year doing that) and starting in the fall began taking classes at the Institute to earn her B.A. degree. She takes two classes each quarter. She also is teaching 2nd-3rd grade on Sunday morning. She'll be teaching a week in the "God's Precious Daughters" that begins this Sunday (1/7) at Bear Valley (for 3rd-6th grade girls). Dale and Carl will be in the corresponding "Young Lions" class. We are keeping busy, and would love to see you (whether you live near or far).

Here are the pictures...
