LA With Emma!






We've been staying at Sarah and Matt's with Emma for the past week. Our plan is to be here for the month of March to help with babysitting while Sarah and Matt go to work. We certainly have enjoyed this beautiful, genius child! (Not that we are prejudiced in the least!)

On Saturday, March 3rd Sarah had a birthday party for Emma with many friends and school mates. They used a beautiful turn of the century home called Seaver House on Pomona Campus for the party. It was a beautiful day and Emma really enjoyed all the people and excitement. The theme of the party was "ELMO". Sarah had all kinds of activities for the children to enjoy. I've included some pictures from the party for you to enjoy.

We had a great week with Emma and her parents! She loves to go for walks. We are amazed how she couldn't walk a few weeks ago and now is literally running from place to place! What a precious baby the Lord has given us to enjoy and watch grow. The weather has been beautiful with temperatures ranging from the 70's to upper 80's. I love the sunshine!

This past weekend, we went to San Diego. On Saturday we went to the Wild Animal Park. Emma really enjoyed all the animals. She gets pretty excited even when she sees the neighborhood dog, so you can imagine what happened when she saw gorillas, elephants, and lions. I think she is going to love animals like her Uncle Andy and Grammy.

Another wonderful experience we had, was going to Shadow Mountain Community Church where David Jeremiah is pastor. It is a huge church, but there was definitely a feeling of community and warmth there. David Jeremiah preached a wonderful sermon on John 14:12 -14. I just praise God for these men who can explain God's Word and relate it to believers in such a way that we can apply it to our daily lives. Besides being with our Savior and loved ones, won't Heaven be great when we can talk with men of God like Billy Graham, Dwight Moody, etc? Craig and I are hoping to be able to visit David Jeremiah's church again soon.
