The Curse

It seems that we have picked up a curse, and brought it to Colorado. It began with the packing process in Virginia. We knew there was a problem when we found chunks of our wood furniture in the driveway, after they pulled away (at midnight, with a vase and tricycle riding in their laps). It took the movers about two weeks to deliver our goods, and when they finally arrived, most of our furniture was damaged.

 

Then, Aaron broke both of the bones in his forearm, while playing on a slide. 
  
 Oscar's skin issues have gotten worse since we have been here, which means he licks his paws and his belly until they become raw, cracked and bleeding.  So he has been wearing the cone of shame, until he can heal. He is seriously pitiful in it.
 

Finally, there is the Waldo Canyon fire. I took this picture with my cell phone right at the beginning of the fire.

I took another one two hours later, because it was growing so fast.
I took this one today. The smoldering fire to the left, closer to Pike's Peak, is where it began, with the billowing smoke where it is expanding.

Please pray for all of those fighting the fires, those who could lose their homes, and let's pray that the Hill luck begins to improve soon!
