Eli and Zoe with "Arky" balloon

  Eli's first day of school! 
Some of the many balloons
Well, we are still in waiting for Burton Baby 3 to come into this world officially.  In the meantime we have started school and went to the balloon festival here in Colorado Springs.  It was beautiful for children of all ages, even if we did have to get up at 5:30am to get there!!

I have been having flashes of WOW the time goes really fast.  I really will miss my kiddos as they go to school if only for a couple hours a day!  Will they be OK, will they behave, will they keep up?  All these questions and taking them to prayer is my only answer.  My heart will ache, but will be filled with the peace that they are where God desires and will continue to be as they learn so many new things!  

We will let you know the news when the next one arrives!  

Till then, blessings to all of you!

Hello Family and Friends,

I will try to keep up on this to share our lives better with all of you.  As August comes and goes we are getting ready for Eli to start Kindergarten and Zoe will be in Pre-k 2 days a week.  Our biggest change and adjustment will be adding our new addition at some time by September 22nd. We are all looking forward to it and sharing him with you.  The pregnancy has gone well and has been the best one yet!

God has been so good and faithful to us, we continue to grow and change by desire and urging by Him.  How wonderful it has been to see his new plans for us! For those of you who don't know, Alex has a new job with Ransomed Heart Ministry (John Eldredge) and he is loving it (he gets to wear shorts, t-shirts, and sandals to work!)  He is the Events Director and the people he works with are wonderful and getting him in cardio shape as he bikes a few times a week now!  He is still climbing as well.  

The top pictures are of me (mel) 8 months pregnant  with the kids and the other is of us going on a narrow gauge train ride in Cripple Creek. 

Please stay in touch!

Love,

AMEZ
