50's Girl (left)


Our friends Osi and Alisha had an open house / harvest party. Todd was working but, Maggie and Silas and I all went and enjoyed ourselves. Maggie was a 50's girl and my growing belly didn't give me as many options, but pumpkin came to mind and worked out just fine!

Our Cruise Last Month

Amazing Food


Our Ship
Catalina Island


Beautiful Sunsets








We were so blessed and grateful to God to get to go on a free cruise last month. We enjoyed delicious food (anytime and all the time), lots of rest, entertainment and just time to talk and read and be together. We spent some time in Bible Study and listening to teaching tapes too, which was great. We got to see Catalina Island and Ensenada Mexico.

The hardest part was leaving Maggie (of course) but we were so proud of her. She transitioned beautifully both when we left and when we came back and enjoyed spending time with Grandma Melquist, Grandma Merry and Pada and Grandma Linda. We were really surprised (and thankful) with how well she did. It came at the perfect timing because this is our first trip away since Maggie has been born, and with our new baby Silas on the way, it will probably be the last for a long time.

We are very grateful for God's blessing!
