We started at our new MOPS 2 weeks ago and it is very different (not in a good way) from the MOPS in CA. I guess I didn't realize how great my CA MOPS was until I came to the MOPS here. So far 2 weeks in, they've run out of coffee, the coordinator isn't very inspiring, and the childcare is less than ideal. I'm trying to be optimistic that it will get better but so far it isn't the greatest.
We've decided to try a church for a few months that is new out here. It is "launching" in February and we will be helping/serving in a few ways as it gets off the ground. We've met some great people and hope that this is the beginning of our new life here in CO for as ever long as that may be. Here is a link to the church. http://www.thrivechurch.com/
Our friends from CA came out for a night on their way to a cabin in South West (kind of) Colorado. It was so great to see them but I was SO sad when they left. It just reminded me of how much I miss everyone.
Other then all the above, we are excited to go to CA in 3 weeks to celebrate Kiersten's first birthday, spend some time with my family and see our friends. I know the 4 days are going to go by too fast, but I'm looking forward to it.
The kids are doing great. Nathan is so much fun right now. A never ending chatter box about anything and everything. His favorite things to do these days are to talk about candy, talk about Disneyland and go outside with Daddy and "do daddy's bike," which means that Kevin holds him and tells him all the parts of his bike (it is so adorable!). We talk all day about all kinds of things and it is so fun. Nathan can make Kiersten laugh like no other. It's the best sound. We were at the park the other day and Nathan was so lucky and got to go in fire truck and a police car, he was so excited.

Nathan and his girlfriend Keaton from CA
Nathan and Keaton playing with the phone, Keaton was so tired!
My little helper in the kitchen! He loves to "SNAP" my green beans and has to yell "SNAP" when he does it.
Kiersten is a joy as always. She is walking all over the place. We just bought her, her very first pair of shoes and she is learning how to walk in them. She is so much fun. She is always playing and laughing (unless she is in her car seat!). She is dancing all the time and loves TV. She just started picking up the remote and pointing it at the TV. She also just started bringing Minnie with her all over the house. He other favorite toy lately is Nathan's booster seat, not sure why but she pushes it off the chair and the drags it all over the house.

I expect years of fun with this kitchen
My pretty girl
Kevin was gone for 3 days and you should have seen how happy she was to see him when he got home. It melted my heart. She just wanted to be with him for the next 30 minutes and wouldn't leave him alone. She has entered that stage of truly being excited when he comes home from work every day. I'm a bit jealous that I never get to experience this greeting but then again at least I get to be with her all day long.
