Back to the Ole Routine

We are back at the ole routine we started last week...walking Stew to class, walking around ourselves and hanging out with the people and places we find. Usually we like to grab one of Stew's classmates for lunch or dinner. Tom is seen talking to Stew. He works with Innervarsity in St. Louis. He has an amazing story of how God took a hold of his heart.

This night was dinner at Rubio's..$1 fish tacos! And yes my kids ate it! There is an outdoor mall with many restaurants downtown. After dinner we strolled around and found a water fountain! Wesleygrant assumed it was like the water park in Memphis and went right into it! He was soaked!! Other kids followed...we went back today. Soaked from head to toe! It was fun!

A Sunday with the Kim Family

We got to attend Newsong Church this morning with our friends, Tony and Erin Kim. Tony Kim is on staff at Newsong and it was so good to reconnect. Bryan Loritts, our friend/pastor from Fellowship Bible Memphis, preached there this morning. The kids had a blast with the kim's kids, Ella and Hayden. It was so fun today!! We love you, Kim family!!

A Day at the Beach!!!

"Mommy, I buildin sand castle with daddy..."

Sally was our cheerleader from the sand

Wesley Grant's first time to experience the ocean!

We headed to the beach today and found a spot that wasn't crowded. The kids had a blast...Wesley Grant was covered in sand, head to toe, when we were done. Sally sat on the towel like a princess eating pretzels until we noticed she was sharing with all the seagulls....yikes! But we surrvived and had a great day!

Another day in California

Though the jet lag is going away, our days continue to look the same...but we are LOVING it! We love being with Stew and having lunches outside in the grass...Stew and i also got to go on a date last night! Thanks Brian for watching the kiddos!!! We are truly enjoying being a family and living the simple life....I hope this will change some of our complicated habits we have in real life and cause us to look at the more important things of life. "Pa" and "Nana" - all these pics are for you! Enjoy!

California!

So, after my birthday weekend, i am jet-lagged or really relaxed and having a hard time adjusting to the 2 hour time difference (i mean come on!!)...i feel like i'm in Africa all over again....or maybe Spain...but today was a better day...we decided to walk somewhere for lunch to keep me from falling asleep. =P We are in walking distance from everything we need. Our days so far look as follows: We walk daddy to class and then play around the trees....walk home, take a morning nap...eat snacks...walk to go get daddy for lunch...walk home, take naps...eat snacks...walk back to get daddy and head to bed as soon as we are done with dinner...kind of boring. =) But maybe we will have more exciting days ahead...for now...it is good to just stroll along with the day and enjoy being with daddy! It is so beautiful here!!
