hattie-bug

it's somewhat difficult to pick a single photo of hattie to post on the blog because i've gotten so many great shots of her since being here. she's a real natural in front of the camera, and her big eyes make almost any photo pretty striking. on tuesday evening we walked down to the park where she and her little brother eli climbed all over while i took pictures.

we spent most of the day yesterday walking around the colorado springs zoo with the kids and jake's parents. it's a pretty impressive zoo, especially this new african safari section they have. i don't think i've ever seen so many giraffe's in one place. i'll try to post a photo from there later.

in the afternoon we sat over at rockledge inn, the B&B that jake's parents own. i had a very interesing conversation with jake's dad about his vision for the inn and the property. he'd like to get a l'abri style community started there with a handful of students working on the B&B in the morning and studying in the afternoon. the property seems really ideal for his plans and it will be interesting to see how they materialize.

last night we took it pretty easy here at the house, and i got caught up on the sopranos (wow) while the stuarts got family portraits made. today we're headed in to check out downtown colorado springs.
