August

We went to a Rockies game with the EHS Band.  Rockies lost and it was hot, but lots of fun!




Justin's senior high youth pastor left our church to pastor a church in another state.  This picture was taken at their going away party.  Pastor Keegan, on the left, is the junior high pastor, and Pastor Joel was the senior high pastor.  Both have been a blessing to Justin!

Jim started the School of Ministry at Calvary Aurora.  

We are excited to see what God will do!

Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis taught at Calvary Aurora over a long weekend.  It was great to meet him and we learned so much!  

Caylie loves to help bake!


First Days of School!
Caylie started 3rd grade at Global Village Academy Douglas County.

Justin started 10th grade at Eaglecrest High School.

Samuel started 8th grade at Sky Vista Middle School.

Football and marching band season started!




Justin played in the band for the Raptor Rally at Eaglecrest, to kick off the football season.

And Jim officiated in a football scrimmage after the band played.

Caylie's school had a pancake breakfast for the families.  

Caylie and Keelan enjoying their pancakes and sausages.

Sam and Justin, also!

 The awesome pancake-making machine!

Samuel and his friend Piper, who was his foster sister in China.  They lived together at House of Grace in Yangchun.

 Caylie and her friend LiLi, who are both from Fuzhou, Jiangxi.  (And they're the same age!)

The Altman and Ainsworth kids; twice family through China adoption!

July

Lots of July fun!
Samuel continued his baseball season.


Jim had another birthday.  


And we made our usual trip to 7-11 for free Slurpees on Dad's birthday!


A random photo of Justin on my phone, taken in July.  😁

 (Another random photo!)


We had cook-outs with friends.






Grandma and Grandpa Beck came to visit!











 While they were here, we went to Echo Lake.
Four generations of Beck/Altman/Johnson men.










Four generations of Beck/Altman/Johnson women!



The next week, Justin had the second band camp of the summer.  He was head of field logistics, so he had extra work to do every day.





Band Boosters handing out snacks.  Always a fun time!



So proud of our Eaglecrest Raptor Regiment!
