Friends and family
We've enjoyed more visits with friends and family. This is the year when everyone is visiting us, and it's such a huge blessing for us. Last weekend Luke's sister Hannah and her husband Steve were on a cross-country driving vacation and they stopped with us for a few days. We took them to Avila beach one day. It was 55 degrees there when we arrived - and only about 58 when we left. Such is the nature of CA beaches. But of course our kids went swimming. Caleb loved the frigid water. Emma ate lots of sand and crawled around chasing birds. Oh - and Elizabeth lost her first tooth last Saturday! She is growing up...
Today my friend Kerry (from middle school, high school, etc.)and her husband and kids came to see us for just a little while. They live near San Jose now, so we've been able to see them a couple times a year, but they are moving to Washington, D.C. in the fall! We will miss seeing them so often. sigh...
Our kids love to have visitors and count the minutes until more arrive. I think now it is our turn to be the visitors - only 4 weeks until our big trip.
Recent fun kid quote:
Caleb: God is in Pennsylvania. We better go there.
Mommy: God is everywhere, Caleb.
Elizabeth (very thoughtfully): Except Canada.
Sorry to any Canadians out there!!! We know He's there too!!

We won't make it to PA until Christmastime - it will be quite a change from the 90s and 100s that we're feeling here in Mexico. Hi to Kerry - we may fly in to D.C. to visit Dave's brother in December - we'll have to connect while we're there!
Gretchen, I like the new pics of the kids on the sidebar :-)
