Where did 17 whole days go?

Sorry for not having posted anything in 2.5 weeks! Goodness, I have no idea where that time went! :) Course not too much is going on with us that's new, so there hasn't been a whole lot to update you on. CO had a huge snow storm that began on Tues night and finally ended yesterday, and I have a couple pics of the post-storm piles at the end of this. Getting to and from work on Wed was a lil scary and tricky, so I took a Snow Day on Thursday and stayed home with the hubby. Who, btw, is getting sick. Luckily, he doesn't have a fever or other flu symptoms at the moment, so hopefully he just has a sinus/cold thing going on.
Last weekend, we did go to a Middle School hangout time with the youth group from our church. It was a blast! Chris also had his last football game (that he videos) last weekend, so this weekend, we're looking forward to not doing much, for once!
Hope you all have a good one! Love you! Here are the pics I took on my way to the garage this morning...

Just a few recent pics...

For most of the weekend, we stayed inside, and Jazzy cuddled up on the couch with us (or I guess you could say she hogged the couch while we tried to squeeze in next to her most of the weekend). But seriously, how cute is this? And how could we possibly say no to THIS face?????

We celebrated my mother-in-law, Patti's birthday (# 35, if i remember right...wink! wink!) on Saturday, but I only got a few pics. My married-family doesn't seem to like pics very much! :( But still, I managed to sneak a couple...here are the boys (with their cousin in the background) and one of Patti's apple cobbler "birthday cake." :)


And this is what we drove home in on Saturday night-bbbbbbbrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Things

Just wanted to update you on a few comings and goings of the DeGroots! And also, be sure to read past this post for some pics...
Chris has been quite busy with biz stuff. He's got quite a few irons in the fire, some of which are actually even bringing in money, so that has been a real blessing. Currently, he's planning to do a Christmas Program for a school in Dec, possibly a dance recital for a different school in Nov, some 3rd grade football games on Saturday mornings, possibly a commercial DVD for a friend of ours, some different videos for a Restoration Company (owned by friends of ours), and every Sunday night he is filming Metal Sundays at a venue nearby for a bunch of different musicians. We have no idea how successful any of these things will be just yet, but we are SO VERY THANKFUL for these opportunities the Lord is providing and are praying over their success and fruitfulness everyday.
The pics that follow are from last weekend. The first are from the Women of Faith Conference in Denver. My wonderful and most generous mother-in-law paid my way to go with her, my sis-in-law and some other women from their church. She also treated to dinner AND a hotel room! Amazing, huh? And let me tell you, it was a GREAT time, not only to connect with them, but also just to be refreshed and re-convicted of things. I also had the pleasure of reconnecting with an old friend from an old church, which was a very wonderful surprise!
So that was Fri and Sat and then on Sun we went to a housewarming party for our friends' new, gorgeous house. Kel and Bob just built this beautiful house in Windsor and had a bunch of us over to watch the Raiders/Broncos game in their new basement theater room. It was so much fun, even though the poor Raiders did look awful, and my poor hubby was thus quite heart-broken! But it was a great time with friends, which we are so blessed to have!
So, I think that does it for now for updates. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Lotsa Love!
