On Sunday we finished out our time with Mike, Joni, and Miles following a great morning at Grace San Diego. Child dedication, communion, and baptism made this special service so uplifting. We were so encouraged by the life change that is happening in and through this body of believers.
Amtrak proved to be a great connection from SD to LA to connect with Josh, Kari, and Stella. It saved the kids driving half way on either side in what could have been a frustrating drive in heavy weekend traffic.
Even more than the warm sunny weather, we are enjoying our time bonding with Stella and hanging out with Josh and Kari. Trying to bond as much as we can in these days as this is only our third time to be with Stella in her almost year and a half of life. She has "Papa" down real well, but still working on saying "Grandma." Her sweet smile melts our hearts. Winking is something she learned in the last few months and she'll wink at just about anybody. We were walking through Home Depot the other day and she winked at one of the guy's working there. As we passed by he said, "Hey, she just winked at me!" I think he was flattered. Check out the fifth photo down and you'll get a wink from her, too :).
Spending time at a neighborhood park and just taking walks down the sidewalk, stopping to smell the flowers along the way, are treasures to take back with us to Europe.Hmmm. . . think I need to work on getting some pictures of Josh and Kari, too :).
Dennis and Josh are hard at work building a kitchen table out of reclaimed lumber. The hope is to have it done before we leave on Saturday morning. Dennis is passing on skills he learned from his Dad. I'll be sure to post a photo of the carpenters at work and their self-designed table.
Happy Summer!!
