Friends Part II

So here are some more wonderful friends we have met here in Ventura (well, Oxnard), Paul and Renata. We first met Paul and Renata when they started coming to our young married couples Bible study in 2006 (right???). We love them dearly and have made so many fun memories with them, like camping at Dinkey Creek, playing Ticket to Ride, golf games for Chris and Paul and the guys, and coffee for me and Renata with the girls. To our sadness, God has called them to move back to Orange County, closer to their families. We miss them tons already, but know we'll be seeing more of them in the future. After all, we still have to make it to Jocko's. Praise God for great friends!

Friends Part I

We have some wonderful friends here in Ventura County. We especially love Bonnie, John, Colin and Hope. We have lots of fun hanging out with them and playing Wii. Colin is a very good Wii instructor. Hannah loves to jump on their trampoline, chase Sasha, or "cook" in the play kitchen at their house. I am so grateful to them for all the times they have watched Hannah when I've needed to run to work or get some errands done. I love it when Bonnie comes up to me at church and says, "We miss Hannah!" They are also a wonderful example of a loving family that is dedicated to serving and honoring God.
So here's some pictures of a recent visit to their house where Hope and Hannah had a mini slumber party.

Gotta love the matching pj's and pigtails

Happy 4th!

We spent the 4th of July in Cayucos again with the Vanoli/Cagle family. Lots of fun for the cousins! I just noticed that as I was making the slideshow, all my pictures are of the kids and none of the adults. Oops!

Little Mama

Mothering is definitely built in to little girls. I didn't teach her to do this.
