On Saturday, the DTS team reached out to some homeless. We fed them pizza and gave out clothes. These are people who live in a tent, even in the cold, with little babies who don’t get enough to eat. Most of them live on a “homeless site”, where they are given a free place to pitch their tent. A few of them found out that the government is evicting them from their site. They don’t have anywhere to go if they get evicted. Please keep our homeless neighbors in prayer. I’m looking forward to doing some other things like this every Saturday for the next two months.
Ah! Warm weather is amazing! It’s almost seventy degrees here in Colorado, and it feels so good! However, it’s supposed to snow this weekend. With all this weather change, I wonder how they keep their plants alive.
As I said before, if you ever have any questions about what we’re doing here in Colorado, write a comment and ask.

Random Ramblings

Here in Colorado, the weather is quite mysterious. On Monday, it was freezing cold and snowing (I went for a run). On Tuesday, it was really warm and we didn't need shirts (Rachel and I took the kids to the movies). Yesterday, it was cold again and raining, and now today, it's sunny out and looks warm, but it's chilly.

Our days look like this: in the morning Mom and Dad go to the base, while we (meaning my siblings and Rachel and me) stay home and do school and clean the house. Then we join the DTS students at the base for lunch, and while they go back to class we take the kids to the library or some other fun activity. Then we head back to the base and hang out until dinner, after which we leave for home. Kind of a chaotic schedule, but everyone is adjusting.

On Sunday afternoon we went for a hike in the mountains with one of the staff of YWAM as our guide. It was about a two mile hike, and as we got higher, instead of getting colder, we got warmer. After traveling back down the mountain, nine of us crammed into an eight passenger SUV. At least the view out the windows was beautiful, even if I couldn't feel my feet. :)

This has been Random Ramblings of a homeschooler, thanks for reading.

Lydia

My sister Lydia is not enjoying having Rachel be in charge. The other day Rachel was sitting across the room when Lydia tripped and fell. Lydia said, "Rachel made me fall, sissy!" with tears running down her face.
Then Lydia goes: "I don't like you, I don't want you in this family, so can I have some gum?"
So now Rachel has been rejected from the family, blamed for everything, called stupid, mean, and Frito, all in a week.
Lydia also has nicknames for several people in DTS. We have Lord Fluffy, Little Turtle, Lollipop, My Friend, and Jungle Tim. She also confuses two names and came up with Hellie.
Three year olds, you gotta love 'em, right? Don't worry, Rachel doesn't take anything personally. At least as she gets older she will hopefully be a very sweet person.
