1. Elizabeth scored a goal on Saturday!!
2. We took a trip to go Whale Watching and to the Monterey Bay Aquarium last weekend. We took a two and a half hour boat rider to see the whales. It was so amazing to see these huge creatures! Our children were making fun of me when they found out that I was wearing four layers of clothing. However, when Hannah got sea sick and threw up all over me, including my hair, I was grateful for the four layers. I peeled off two and put on my jacket. Hannah seemed more upset that she had messed up her clothes than that she threw up. Shortly after Hannah threw up, Nicholas threw up. I've known Nicholas for longer so I could see it coming. I managed to get a bag for him and all was well for the reminder of the trip.
3. This past weekend Dan's Mom and Uncle came to visit for one night. They left Sunday to go visit their brother and sister-in-law and will be back this coming weekend.
4. We do not allow words like stupid and shut up in our home. Seems to destroy the peace a bit when words like that are used. However, as little as they are spoken here, our bird seems to pick them up very quickly. One morning the bird was going crazy and calling for Benjamin, who is her favorite person, I was getting very annoyed as her call is bone shattering. I looked at her cage and realized that she was on Dan's shoulder. I asked Dan, if that sound was annoying him and much as it was annoying me. He said yes, then, immediately asked Benjamin to come get her. When Benjamin appeared, she looked straight at Dan and said, "Stupid!" and hopped happily onto Benjamin's shoulder.
5. It is official. We have left our church and have been attending another church in the area. The transition has been a smooth one thus far. We love the family oriented worship service and discipleship time. We love that they share a meal together each week! We are looking forward to getting to know this new community.
