It's been a fun-filled fall weekend for the Priest Family. Dylan started basketball at the YMCA. He plays for the Mavericks. Kelly and I were amazed after Saturday's game that we had witnessed a real basketball game! The kids played great and really worked as a team. Dylan passed the ball and assisted in scoring for his team. We've come a long way. Last year he lost his temper when the ball was stolen from him, tackling the kid who stole it from him. That's when he wasn't chasing, shooting invisible aliens on the court.

Afterwards we went to see the "Bee Movie" and had popcorn for lunch. Mmmmmmm!!!!!
Dylan says it was yummy. Dylan liked when the bee was stung on his hiney. He really liked the pollen jocks.

We are really enjoying our time at Element Church. It is a new church plant. We have attended since its first officially launch Sunday the beginning of October. It is currently meeting at the theater at the mall. I think Dylan thinks it is cool to go to church there. The e-kids program is really good and he making new friends. Kelly and I have both been moved by Jeff's messages about the Core Values. Today's sermon was about allegiance and ties in perfectly with Veteran's Day. Already within the first month there have been Sunday's when it has been standing room only. There truly is a hunger in our community for the Bread of Life. They announced today the expansion to two services beginning in December. Kelly and I are thankful Jeff and Sabrina, along with the rest of the team was obedient to God's call for them to come to Cheyenne. It truly is a answered prayer for those of us weary in our search for Christian growth and fellowship. It feels so good to eagerly anticipate each week's service and apply the message each week.

Dylan has been engrossed in the Sunday ads making his wish list for Santa Claus. He has thoughtfully mulled over each and ever page. Kelly and I were reminiscing about our childhood memories and the BIG Sears Wishbook. We each remember eagerly anticipating its arrival and studying each and every page hopefully. Santa had a way of coming through each year.

Our conversations with Dylan enlighten us each day. Today we were told that jelly comes from jellyfish. Dylan also convinced Kelly to assign him a password to log onto the computer. He instructed Kelly to, "write it down, but do not look at it". His first number was about 10 digits long. After we told him he could not play on the computer if he forgot it he reconsidered and chose a 4 digit "top secret" number. He was quite pleased with himself. Yes, Kelly and I know the numbers. They are conveniently posted on a memo stuck to the monitor. He's not an international spy--yet!

Tomorrow is Monday and the beginning of another week. I am certain there will be more stories to tell of Dylan and his antics.
