(our latest steps): Our Team is Complete!

Firsts are always fun… first American meal,
first concert at Red Rocks, first Colorado fall morning…
But some of the sweetest firsts for His Little Feet
have to be the first TEAM picture,
the first English “hello” and first moments of
friendships that will last forever!

Although it was cold, it was amazing to worship along with
hundreds in one of the most beautiful, natural

“For You, O Lord, have made me glad by what You have done,
I will sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
How great are Your works, O Lord! Your thoughts are very deep.”
