Fun trip to Oakland and San Francisco

Swimming at Uncle Rich's

We had a very fun day at Uncle Rich's. We swam, had lunch, and swam some more!!! It is always fun to visit him and his wife, Lynette!

Best day spent at the park...EVER!!!

Today Garth and I went to a park in Visalia to meet three very special kids. We had a wonderful time getting to know them. We can't wait until we can see them again, and for them to meet Gerrit and Emma!!

Moving forward...very excited!!

We had our certification meeting with our foster/adopt agent yesterday and we got some news about a sibling group of three. We were able to meet their social worker and we set up a time to meet them, this morning!! We are excited to be moving forward with this and continue praying that we will find the kids who are supposed to be in our family. 

Driving from Grandma's to San Diego

This is how the kids were a lot of the drive

Gerrit covered up just in time!

Swimming at the hotel and bowling with the Bryant's

Garth had meetings in San Diego so we tagged along and got a free vacation out of it. 

We had a fun day swimming at the hotel pool. We had it all to ourselves! Which was good since we brought toys with us.

Then we met up with my cousin, Lisa, and her family and went bowling!

We always like to see them when we come down. So glad they could spend the evening with us.

Quick visit to Grandma's...playing with the twins

Hanging out with the twins at the park.

Frustrating day yesterday on my journey to feeling normal...

Mr. Dixon...aka ...Fix-it Felix!!!

Garth is amazing!! He fixed our in fridge filtered water dispenser!! This has even leaking, and then disabled for over two years!! All it took was a trip to Lowe's and about $3!!   

Thank you Garth!! Now we don't have to take up space with a Brita water pitcher!!

Finally...light at the end of the tunnel!!
