A Second Visit to Colorado Springs - Finding a Home

While still visiting family in Wheaton, we took a couple of days and returned to Colorado Springs to a find a home to rent. We had a fantastic time staying with Don and Cyd Storrs, good friends from our BFA years - Cyd and Julianna both taught English - and now living in the Springs since 2007. It was so fun to be with them again!

Although it felt like a whirlwind, we ended up finding a three-bedroom home approx 25 minutes drive from my office. Considering the recent (and ongoing) forest fires and all the hundreds of homes lost, we are thankful to find a house in a nice neighborhood. And now we are gaining some momentum for the upcoming move, as we think about what is next!

Such good friends - we're blessed to be moving closer to them. Our new home will be less than a mile away.

Timo and the Storrs' dog, Scampi, had a good time discovering each other. Meanwhile, Timo was working on his crawling!

Here's Timo shortly after pulling himself to standing from a sitting position. The next moment, he had tipped head-first into the suitcase. It was cute.

Not a real nice pic, but this is the view from my office! That's the Air Force Academy in the distance, at the foot of the mountains.

Closer up pic of the Academy.

 

Development Associates International owns part of the building.

This was taken for Gemma's sake: it's in the Denver airport. She's been really into astronauts lately.
