School is back in full swing for Rob and Mandy.  Mandy's learning what it is like to juggle being a wife, mom, teacher, resident life director, and volleyball coach.  She loves where God has her right now and sees each of her roles as a real opportunity for ministry.  She's a wonderful woman - gifted in many areas.  It has been fun seeing her "come into her own."   Rob loves his ministry position at Phoenix Christian Elementary School.  He's a great teacher, loves the kids, and has really stepped up in a leadershp role at the school.  What a role model he is for those little ones!

Ethan continues to GROW!  He's a little charmer and seems to have a gift for "singing."  Whenever we try to sing to him, he does his very best to sing along with us.  Ethan is very observant - his little eyes take in everything! 

 

Chris, Lori, and Conner Kelly

Battling a snowy winter, Chris has taken on extra work doing "snow removal" in Pagosa.  He heads to Montana again for a few weeks to finish up some specialty classes in taxidermy this winter.  By summer, he hopes to really gear up for doing more of this kind of work, and turning more of the painting over to his younger brother.  He'll still supervise the painting business, but is anxious to begin the job he's dreamed about for some time.   Conner just turned "3" - where does the time go!  He's a fun guy, and loves to go on a bear hunt around the house with Papa or Nana, doesn't really matter which one of us...he's just ready to hunt!  Lori's a great mom and wife.  She loves having the freedom to stay at home with Conner and be a helpmeet for Chris.
 

Please join us in praying for God's best and His watchcare over all our children...What He has in mind is what we desire for them.
