Since August of 2005, our family has lived in a small community on Colorado’s west slope where Thad pastors a Baptist church. Julie devotes most of her time to raising and educating our four children, as well as gardening and culinary endeavors.
Brennan (9 yrs) is a very active boy. His main interests are competitive swimming as well as cycling (mountain and BMX) and skiing. He also loves to read.
Philip (5) is our middle child and Mr. Personality. He seems to have that unique gift of being able to win people’s hearts by knowing exactly what to say at the right time to endear himself to others. Not sure if this is good or bad, but it’s reality. He also has an unusual preoccupation with candy.
Grace (20 mos) is our first daughter. She is very busy, very verbal, and very loud. She is also very beautiful!
Emelia was welcomed into our family on November 5 of this year. It’s amazing how someone so small can bring such great joy.
