Action Alli

Brian's action packers coming in handy as a baby seat for Allison. I knew those were a good investment.

Sunny California

The weather in sunny CA has been gorgeous. Not too hot and certainly not cold. Warm enough to have the kids get hold of the hose in the yard.

Disneyland

We were spoiled by our church family in Seal Beach! They gave us gift cards for Disneyland. We had such a fun time.

Ami and Bradley's first time on a REAL roller coaster.

Good Stuff

We're in the land of the most yummy ice cream! We spent Saturday and Sunday in Orange County visiting grandpa Mark and attending the church services at Seal Beach. Brian had to preach four times! When we got back home to the missions' house, Bied and I finished a whole tub of ice cream. Needless to say, he went for an hour run this morning. I think I'm going to have order that Shred video soon...

Busy!

Today was real busy. We spent the morning at Grace Church. I was on a missionary wives' question panel at Mindset for Missions. I also got to enjoy fellowship with the ladies from the Every Woman's Grace table who have been praying for our family. It was so great to see them all. Then we went over to Kwacha's apartment to see where he lives. He shares a one-bedroomed apartment with 3 other seminary guys!

Allison

Allison has been awake every night since we arrived. I think she may be teething. Hopefully she'll get back into her long night sleep soon.

Friends

Our friends, the Voorheis family joined us for a meal this evening and when we saw Beth with a tray of cupcakes we learned that it was Jeff's birthday too! It was fun to celebrate with them.

We have seen so many of our friends since we arrived. It has been real busy! We were so thankful to spend some time with Dave Bayne (Brian's long time friend and the best man at our wedding). He is a missionary in Argentina and was home for a few weeks. Thankful to have connected with you Dave!
