Our New House in Colorado Springs, CO

When Dad was at meetings in Colorado Springs, CO for his new job at ACSI, Mom, from Costa Rica, found a house on the internet. It was a day before Dad had to leave Colorado. Mom said, “You have got to see this house I found! It looks perfect!” So Dad went and looked at it, and agreed. A few days later, we made an offer, and they accepted! Here are a few ‘dreams’ we have for the house:

• The garage is perfect for building my creations! -Seth & Joel
• I want to dangle stuffed animals from the balcony! -Wilson Boys
• A ping-pong table would fit in the basement. -Kyle & Dad
