This will be quick! Darren and I are sitting outside a Starbuck's in SoCal that has a fountain that the kids love playing in. They love to take our coffee cups and straws and send them around in the circular motion of the fountain like sailboats.

Our vacation down here with D's parents have afforded us and the kids much of this type of activity. It started with an afternoon at Darren's sister Sarah's house where the kids romped in the backyard--in and out of the kid pool, a loop around the yard on the bike, playing house.

Then there's been a lot of time spent in the pool or jacuzzi at Dan and Judy's. I went for a pedicure with Sarah that first afternoon and it is not holding up well as my toes scratch along the bottom of the pool.

This truly has been a perfect visit for us and the kids as we've enjoyed seeing the kid's cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and fireworks at Disney. Last night, we had the pleasure of hanging out with some of our supporters. It was great to connect after a long time and to inform them a little bit more about our move to London. We also had some great home-made Mexican food. All these things will be few and far between in London though we actually may have a great deal of visitors being in such a prime location.

The other night as we rode in the car as a family, we were reflecting on how we will miss riding in the car as a family, since we won't have a car in London. At the moment we were listening to a worship song that says, "the earth is filled with His glory" and Jesse was sketching this on his etch-a-sketch in the back seat. The drawing is a series of strokes culminating with the whole etch-a-sketch being completely filled in. A whole lot of glory.
