Our last few weeks, pre-baby...

On Saturday, Tom spoke on a panel at a Pepperdine University retreat. He was commended by ALL on his unique ability to speak from his heart, give insight from an alumnus' perspective, and tie in God's Word throughout. Plus (of course), we can attribute harsher laugh-lines in our faces to Tom's perfect humor.

We left this retreat in Palos Verdes, to have a picnic lunch on Manhattan Beach and play Frisbee! Perfect Indian Summer Day!


- Sunday, October 9, 2011, we celebrated our 6- month wedding anniversary! We went to our new church, In His Presence, and had lunch with our dear friends, Rodney and Marce Johnson.


Baby Update: All is great- he's had the hiccups several times, and Tom installed our little munchkin's car seat yesterday! He's kicking and moving right now, as I write this! He'll be considered "full term" by the end of the week, so... he's ok to come any time now!
