More Fun in LA!


We've had another wonderful week with Emma and her Mama and Daddy. Sarah was able to take this past Monday and Friday off work, so we were able to spend some special time with her too. I praise God for Sarah and the fantastic job she does as mother to Emma. She is so busy, but whenever she is around Emma, her energy and vitality come alive and Emma responds accordingly. Emma has grown and learned so much just while we've been here. One celebration this week was that she got her first tooth (bottom left!). Now, instead of walking, she is pretty much running. It's a whole new, big world out there and she wants to learn all about it as fast as she can!




On Tuesday, Sarah got tickets for Craig and I to go to the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. That was a neat experience. The studio is in Burbank. The taping for that night's show is done at 4:30 p.m. His guests were Sandra Bullock and Andy Ricter. We really enjoyed the show and he seemed like a nice man. It was interesting to see how they put the show together...stuff you wouldn't realize unless you were right there to see it. Also, as we waited in line to get in, we were amused by the crowd of people who wanted to attend the show too.

On Saturday night, we went to see Matt play with his church basketball team. They lost, but it was still neat to see a group of Christian men having fun. They had really great attitudes no matter what the score.

Today, we went to Ventura, CA to see Mike and Denise Newman, our former pastor from MI. We were able to visit at their church, then went to lunch with them and their son Matt. We were able to spend some time with them at their home also. We had a wonderful time of catching up and relating how the Lord is working in all of our lives. We've really missed them, so it was great to get together with them. God has so blessed us all!
