Well we have been quite busy since the last time we have updated all of you.

This past week we had two of our good friends, Ian and Jeremy, come out to visit us. They are great friends that Luke has played soccer with and known for a few years now. It was so fun to have them out and show them around Steamboat and the snow. We rented some snow shoes for a couple days and went on some sweet hikes up a mountain and across a frozen Steamboat lake! We also went tubing one night which was very fun. The week they came we got somewhere between 15 and 20 inches of snow in just a few days! We are so thankful and blessed to have such good friends and are looking forward to seeing where we all end up.

Jane has been very busy lately as she has started to record her songs!! She just finished recording six of her original songs at a local studio. The songs are awesome and we are anxiously awaiting the final copy of the demo which should be done any day now. We are hoping to send the demo to some contacts we have made in the music business and pray that the Lord will allow it to get into the right hands if that is what He has planned. And if any of you have some contacts in the music business then be sure to let us know!

Luke was invited to a player combine down in Austin for the new expansion USL-1 team. This seems to be a great opportunity for Luke to move up and would be a great stepping stone to continue to progress his soccer career, not to mention we would be able to be back in Texas! This is a new team but it's a team that has lots of great connections with the owner of this team also being a part owner of Stoke City, in the English premiership. They have a developed a formal partnership with the two teams. Please pray for this opportunity and that the Lord will lead and keep Luke away from injury and be with him during the trail.

We are excited about where the Lord is leading us and we thank you for all your prayers and encouragement!

Enjoy some pictures...

This is Steamboat Lake completely frozen over and we hiked across and around it! Kinda sketchy in some spots, but it was fun.

This is what happens when you snow shoe after 12 or 13 inches of powder falls!!

This tractor can really launch the snow!
